1. A 15-year-old client with a lengthy confining illness is at risk for altered growth and development of which task?

• A. Loss of control
• B. Insecurity
• C. Dependence
• D. Lack of trust

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A 15-year-old client with a lengthy confining illness is at risk for altered growth and development of the task of dependence. Prolonged illness and confinement can lead to the development of dependence as the individual may become reliant on others for their care and needs. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect in this context. Loss of control, insecurity, and lack of trust are important factors to consider but are not directly related to the altered growth and development task of dependence due to illness and confinement.

2. What refers to a systematic approach of obtaining, organizing, and analyzing numerical facts so that conclusions may be drawn from them?

• A. Vital statistics
• B. Statistics
• C. Morbidity
• D. Mortality

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Statistics'. Statistics is the systematic approach of obtaining, organizing, and analyzing numerical facts to draw conclusions. Vital statistics, morbidity, and mortality are more specific terms within the field of statistics. Vital statistics focus on births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. Morbidity refers to the incidence of illness or disease in a population. Mortality specifically deals with deaths in a population. Hence, B is the most comprehensive and fitting choice for the definition provided.

3. When assessing a child with acute respiratory infection, what nursing intervention(s) would be appropriate?

• A. Provide safe remedies to relieve the child's sore throat and cough
• B. All of these interventions
• C. Advise the mother to monitor for signs of pneumonia
• D. Ensure proper nutrition to prevent weight loss

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the management of acute respiratory infection in a child, it is essential to address various aspects of care. Providing safe remedies to relieve symptoms like sore throat and cough (Choice A) helps in managing discomfort. Advising the mother to monitor for signs of pneumonia (Choice C) is crucial for early detection and intervention if complications arise. Ensuring proper nutrition (Choice D) is important for the child's overall health and immune function during illness. Therefore, all the listed interventions are appropriate in managing acute respiratory infection, making Choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect on their own as they address only specific aspects of care and not the comprehensive management of acute respiratory infection.

4. The major target of the Philippine Family Program are women belonging to the high-risk group which includes:

• A. Women under 20 or over 35 years old
• B. Women suffering from certain medical conditions that contradict pregnancy
• C. All these groups
• D. Women who have had at least 4 deliveries

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, 'All these groups.' The Philippine Family Program targets women under 20 years old, over 35 years old, those with certain medical conditions that contradict pregnancy, and women who have had at least 4 deliveries. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer because it encompasses all the high-risk groups identified by the program. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not cover all the specified high-risk groups targeted by the program.

5. Occupational health nursing is concerned with the following except:

• A. educating workers about health
• B. immediate diagnosis of illness prevailing in the work field
• C. appropriate and effective ways of promoting health
• D. planning of administering health services

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Occupational health nursing focuses on educating workers about health, promoting health through appropriate and effective ways, and planning and administering health services in the workplace. Immediate diagnosis of illness prevailing in the work field is typically not the primary role of occupational health nursing, as it usually involves prevention, education, and health promotion rather than diagnosing acute conditions.
