Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following statements refers to criteria?

• A. Agreed on level of nursing care
• B. Characteristics used to measure the level of nursing care
• C. Step-by-step guidelines
• D. Statement which guide the group in decision making and problem solving

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Criteria are specific characteristics or standards used to evaluate or measure the quality or level of something. In this case, statement B, 'Characteristics used to measure the level of nursing care,' correctly refers to criteria because it highlights the specific attributes that are used to assess the quality or level of nursing care provided. The other options do not directly address the concept of criteria. Option A describes an agreed-upon level of care but does not specifically refer to criteria. Option C describes step-by-step guidelines, which are more related to processes or procedures. Option D mentions statements that guide decision-making and problem-solving, which are not necessarily criteria. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice as it directly aligns with the definition and concept of criteria.

2. Two objects with different masses collide. What happens to their momentum after the collision?

• A. Increases for both objects
• B. Decreases for both objects
• C. Remains the same for both objects
• D. Can increase for one and decrease for the other

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In an isolated system (no external forces), the total momentum

3. The lymphatic system works closely with which other body system to fight infections?

• A. Respiratory system
• B. Digestive system
• C. Immune system
• D. Nervous system

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is the Respiratory system. The lymphatic system and the respiratory system work closely together to fight infections. The respiratory system helps to filter out pathogens and other harmful substances from the air we breathe, while the lymphatic system produces and transports white blood cells (lymphocytes) that play a key role in the immune response against infections. This collaboration helps the body to defend against respiratory infections and maintain overall health.

4. How does the potential energy of an object change when it is compressed?

• A. Potential energy decreases
• B. Potential energy increases
• C. Potential energy remains constant
• D. Potential energy becomes zero

Correct answer: b

Rationale: When an object is compressed, it stores potential energy due to its altered position or configuration.

5. What type of lens is thinner at the center than at the edges and causes light rays to diverge?

• A. Convex lens
• B. Concave lens
• C. Diverging lens
• D. Plano-convex lens

Correct answer: b

Rationale: A concave lens is thinner at the center than at the edges and diverges light rays.

6. A person is pushing a box across the floor. Which of the following forces is NOT doing work?

• A. The person's pushing force
• B. The normal force from the floor
• C. The gravitational force on the box
• D. The frictional force between the box and the floor

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Work is defined as the force applied in the direction of motion multiplied by the distance moved. Since the normal force acts perpendicular to the motion, it does not contribute to work.
