Nursing Elites

1. During operation, who manages the lighting, noise, temperature and other factors in the operating room suite?

• A. Nurse Supervisor
• B. Surgeon
• C. Circulating Nurse
• D. Scrub Nurse

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In an operating room, the circulating nurse is responsible for managing environmental factors such as lighting, noise, and temperature. This role includes ensuring the comfort and safety of the patient, as well as the efficiency of the team. While the Nurse Supervisor, Surgeon, and Scrub Nurse also have crucial roles during an operation, they do not directly manage the environmental conditions of the operating room. The rationale provided does not directly address the question asked, and appears to relate more to the broader role of nursing in patient care.

2. Which vitamin is crucial for collagen synthesis and wound healing?

• A. Vitamin C
• B. Vitamin D
• C. Vitamin E
• D. Vitamin K

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, a process important for wound healing. Collagen is a key protein that helps in wound repair and tissue strength. Vitamin D is primarily known for its role in calcium absorption and bone health, not directly related to collagen synthesis. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage but is not directly involved in collagen synthesis. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting but does not play a major role in collagen synthesis for wound healing.

3. Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of which vitamin?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin D
• C. Vitamin E
• D. Vitamin K

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, not vitamin E. The symptoms of scurvy include spontaneous gingival hemorrhaging, perifollicular petechiae, follicular hyperkeratosis, diarrhea, fatigue, depression, and cessation of bone growth. Vitamin A (Choice A) is important for vision and immune function, Vitamin D (Choice B) is essential for bone health, and Vitamin K (Choice D) is necessary for blood clotting. However, none of these vitamins are associated with scurvy.

4. Each statement is true of fat-soluble vitamins, except one. Which is the exception?

• A. Fairly stable to heat, such as during cooking
• B. Contain carbon
• C. Stored in the pancreas
• D. Absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not stored in the pancreas; they are stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Choice A is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are fairly stable to heat. Choice B is also correct as fat-soluble vitamins contain carbon. Choice D is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food.

5. The goal of remotivation therapy is to facilitate:

• A. Insight C. Socialization
• B. Productivity D. Intimacy
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.
