Nursing Elites

1. The element responsible for the green color of leaves is:

• A. Magnesium
• B. Iron
• C. Copper
• D. Zinc

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Magnesium is the central element of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis

2. What is the general formula for an alkene?

• A. CnH2n+2
• B. CnH2n
• C. CnH2n-2
• D. CnH2n+1

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The general formula for an alkene is \(C_nH_{2n}\), indicating the presence of a double bond between carbon atoms.

3. During embryonic development, all tissues originate from

• A. Epithelial tissue only
• B. Muscle tissue only
• C. Connective tissue only
• D. Embryonic germ layers

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During embryonic development, all tissues originate from the three primary embryonic germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. These layers give rise to all the different types of tissues found in the body. The ectoderm forms the skin and nervous system, the mesoderm gives rise to muscle, bone, and connective tissues, while the endoderm develops into the lining of the digestive and respiratory systems. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it encompasses the comprehensive origin of all tissues in the body during embryonic development.

4. Which functional group is commonly found in ketones?

• A. Hydroxyl
• B. Carbonyl
• C. Ester
• D. Amine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Ketones have the functional group -CO-, which is a carbonyl group. The other choices are associated with different functional groups

5. Which of the following is TRUE about functional nursing?

• A. Concentrates on tasks and activities
• B. Emphasizes use of group collaboration
• C. One-to-one nurse-patient ratio
• D. Provides continuous, coordinated and comprehensive nursing services

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Emphasizes use of group collaboration." Functional nursing is a task-oriented approach where team members specialize in specific tasks or activities. In this model, nurses work together in groups to provide care to a larger number of patients efficiently. This differs from the one-to-one nurse-patient ratio (C) and the continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive nursing services (D). While functional nursing concentrates on tasks (A), the key feature emphasized in this care delivery model is the use of group collaboration to provide care effectively.

6. Express 0.75 as a fraction.

• A. 4/5
• B. 3/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Decimals can be represented as fractions where the denominator is a power of 10 (in this case, 10 raised to the power of -1, or 1/10th). So, 0.75 is equivalent to 7/10. We can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5, resulting in 3/4.
