1. Clients with type 2 diabetes are most likely to achieve metabolic control if they:
- A. lose weight
- B. use self-monitoring of blood glucose
- C. eliminate all dietary sugars
- D. eat three regular meals daily
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control, making it a key strategy in managing type 2 diabetes.
2. Which client is most likely to need regular injections of vitamin B12?
- A. The client with malabsorption syndrome.
- B. The client following a vegan eating pattern.
- C. The client whose stomach does not produce intrinsic factors.
- D. The client with alcoholism.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The client whose stomach does not produce intrinsic factors is most likely to need regular injections of vitamin B12. Intrinsic factor is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12. Without intrinsic factor, the client cannot absorb vitamin B12 from food, necessitating the need for regular injections. Choices A, B, and D do not directly impact the production of intrinsic factors in the stomach, so they are less likely to result in the need for vitamin B12 injections.
3. How much extra protein (above RDA) is safe to consume?
- A. 2x your RDA
- B. any amount
- C. 3x your RDA
- D. 20 grams
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Consuming up to twice the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of protein is generally considered safe for most people, although it may vary depending on individual health conditions.
4. A condition that often progresses to become type 2 diabetes mellitus is:
- A. type 1 diabetes mellitus
- B. high blood pressure
- C. chronic pancreatitis
- D. impaired glucose tolerance
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Impaired glucose tolerance is a pre-diabetic state characterized by higher than normal blood sugar levels. It is often associated with insulin resistance and can progress to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Choice A) is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells, leading to a lack of insulin production. High blood pressure (Choice B) and chronic pancreatitis (Choice C) are not directly linked to the progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
5. 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: Circulating Nurse
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.
