Nursing Elites

1. A nurse is providing teaching to the parent of a toddler about appropriate snacks. Which of the following foods should the nurse include?

• A. Sliced bananas
• B. Raw celery
• C. Peanut butter
• D. Grapes

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is sliced bananas. Bananas are a good choice for toddlers as they are easy to chew, rich in potassium, and generally well-tolerated. Raw celery (Choice B) may pose a choking hazard due to its fibrous nature. Peanut butter (Choice C) should be avoided as it can also be a choking hazard and may cause an allergic reaction in some children. Grapes (Choice D) are a choking hazard for toddlers due to their size and shape, so they should be cut into smaller pieces or avoided altogether.

2. Prevention of work related accidents in factories and industries are responsibilities of which field of nursing?

• A. School health nursing
• B. Private duty nursing
• C. Occupational health nursing
• D. Institutional nursing

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.

3. Mang Carlos has a standing DNR order. He then suddenly stopped breathing and you are at his bedside. You would:

• A. Give extraordinary measures to save Mang Carlos
• B. Stay with Mang Carlos and Do nothing
• C. Call the physician
• D. Activate Code Blue

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.

4. What action should the nurse take first for a client with Listeria food poisoning?

• A. Educate the client on safe food practices.
• B. Start a traceback to identify the source of the outbreak.
• C. Report the case to the county board of health.
• D. Ask the client if they have consumed any unpasteurized products.

5. What should Mrs. Smith do to increase her HDL levels, as advised by the nurse?

• A. Monitor her blood glucose levels
• B. Quit smoking
• C. Control her blood pressure
• D. Take fish oil supplements

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Quit smoking.' Smoking has been shown to lower HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) levels, and quitting can help to improve these levels. HDL is often referred to as 'good cholesterol' because it helps to remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease. While monitoring blood glucose levels, controlling blood pressure, and taking fish oil supplements can contribute to overall health and wellbeing, they do not directly increase HDL levels in the same way that quitting smoking does. Therefore, quitting smoking is the most effective way for Mrs. Smith to increase her HDL levels as advised by the nurse.
