Nursing Elites

1. When does work on an object occur?

• A. Only when the object's velocity changes
• B. Only when a force is applied to the object
• C. Whenever there is a force exerted on the object causing displacement
• D. Only when the object is lifted vertically

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Work is done when a force is applied to an object, causing it to move in the direction of the force.

2. A light ray travels from air (refractive index 1.00) into water (refractive index 1.33). What happens to its speed and direction?

• A. Speed increases, direction bends towards the normal.
• B. Speed increases, direction bends away from the normal.
• C. Speed decreases, direction bends towards the normal.
• D. Speed and direction remain unchanged.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Due to the change in refractive index, the light ray bends towards the normal (water) as it slows down upon entering the denser medium.

3. What is the building block of DNA?

• A. Amino acid
• B. Nucleotide
• C. Nucleotide
• D. Fatty acid

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, not DNA. - Nucleotide is the correct building block of DNA. A nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). - The option "C) Nucleotide" is a duplicate of the correct answer "B) Nucleotide." - Fatty acids are not the building blocks of DNA; they are a type of lipid molecule.

4. 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.

5. What is the name for the smallest amount of an element that can exist independently and retain its chemical properties?

• A. Molecule
• B. Atom
• C. Compound
• D. Mixture

Correct answer: A

Rationale: An atom is the fundamental building block of an element, consisting of a nucleus and electrons.

6. What is the stoichiometric coefficient of nitrogen (N2) in the balanced equation for the Haber process: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Correct answer: a

Rationale: The coefficient of N2 is 1 in the balanced equation
