- A. Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)
- B. Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA)
- C. Records Management Archives Office (RMAO)
- D. Department of Health (DOH)

2. In the management of heart failure, which diuretic is preferred due to its demonstrated significant mortality reduction in patients with heart failure?
- A. Furosemide (Lasix)
- B. Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL)
- C. Spironolactone (Aldactone)
- D. Mannitol (Osmitrol)
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, is the preferred choice in heart failure due to its cardio-protective effect, leading to reduced mortality in patients with heart failure.

3. According to Erikson, if the psychological conflict of adolescence is resolved negatively, a young person experiences __________.
- A. mistrust
- B. isolation
- C. inferiority
- D. role confusion
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Erikson's theory of psychosocial development states that during adolescence, individuals face the conflict of identity vs. role confusion. If this conflict is resolved negatively, adolescents experience role confusion. Role confusion occurs when adolescents fail to develop a clear sense of identity, leading to uncertainty about their future roles. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they correspond to earlier stages of Erikson's stages of psychosocial development (mistrust corresponds to infancy, isolation to early adulthood, and inferiority to middle childhood), not adolescence.
4. A client with viral hepatitis states, 'I am so yellow.' The nurse most appropriately would
- A. Assist the client in expressing feelings.
- B. Do most of the activities of daily living for the client.
- C. Provide information to the client only when the client requests it.
- D. Restrict visitors until the jaundice subsides.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To assist the client in adapting to changes in appearance, the nurse must encourage participation in self-care to foster independence and self-esteem. The nurse should encourage the client to ask questions to clarify misconceptions, learn ways to prevent the spread of hepatitis to reduce fear, and make appropriate decisions. Restricting visitors will reinforce the client’s negative self-esteem.

- B. Vitamin B2
- C. Vitamin B3
