Nursing Elites

1. A nurse is preparing to administer a tuberculosis (TB) test to a client. Which of the following is the correct method for administering this test?

• A. Intradermal injection on the forearm
• B. Subcutaneous injection on the upper arm
• C. Intramuscular injection on the deltoid
• D. Oral administration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct method for administering a tuberculosis (TB) test is through an intradermal injection on the forearm. This technique allows for the proper administration of the test under the skin to assess the body's response to the TB antigen. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the TB test specifically requires an intradermal injection, not subcutaneous, intramuscular, or oral administration.

2. With the present system, family planning programs at the municipal barangay levels are managed by:

• A. non-governmental organizations
• B. LGUs
• C. all these units/organizations are managing family planning programs
• D. other government organizations

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because family planning programs at the municipal barangay levels are managed by a combination of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Local Government Units (LGUs), and other government organizations. Therefore, all these units/organizations are involved in managing family planning programs. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they individually do not capture the full scope of the entities involved in managing family planning programs at the specified levels.

3. An infant weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces at birth. If growth occurs at a normal rate, what would be the expected weight at 6 months of age?

• A. Double the birth weight
• B. Triple the birth weight
• C. Gain 6 ounces each week
• D. Add 2 pounds each month

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Double the birth weight.' Infants typically double their birth weight by 6 months of age. This is a common milestone in healthy infant growth and development. Choice B is incorrect because tripling the birth weight would be excessive and not in line with normal growth patterns. Choice C, 'Gain 6 ounces each week,' is not accurate as infant growth is not linear each week. Choice D, 'Add 2 pounds each month,' is also incorrect as this rate of growth would be too rapid and unrealistic for healthy infant development.

4. The nurse is teaching a client with cardiac disease about the anatomy and physiology of the heart. Which is the correct pathway of blood flow through the heart?

• A. Right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium, left atrium
• B. Left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, right atrium
• C. Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
• D. Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct pathway of blood flow through the heart starts with blood entering the right atrium, moving to the right ventricle, then to the lungs for oxygenation, returning to the left atrium, and finally to the left ventricle before being pumped out to the body. Option A is incorrect as it starts with the ventricles instead of the atria. Option B is incorrect as it has the sequence of ventricles before atria reversed. Option D is incorrect as it has the atria and ventricles mixed up.

5. Which playroom activities should the nurse organize for a small group of 7-year-old hospitalized children?

• A. Sports and games with rules
• B. Finger paints and water play
• C. "Dress-up" clothes and props
• D. Chess and television programs

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Sports and games with rules are appropriate for the cognitive development stage of 7-year-olds.
