1. Hypertrophic burn scars are caused by:
- A. exaggerated contraction
- B. random layering of collagen
- C. wound ischemia
- D. delayed epithelialization
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.
2. A diet high in which nutrient can lead to increased risk of developing kidney stones?
- A. Fiber
- B. Protein
- C. Carbohydrates
- D. Unsaturated fats
Correct answer: B
Rationale: High protein intake can increase the risk of kidney stones due to elevated calcium excretion.
3. Which of the following is a factor that affects Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?
- A. Age
- B. Sleep
- C. Fasting/Starvation
- D. Activity Level
Correct answer: All of the above
Rationale: All the listed options (Age, Sleep, Fasting/Starvation, Activity Level) are factors that can affect a person's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). BMR is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions. Age can affect BMR as metabolism slows with age. Sleep can influence BMR as metabolism slows during sleep. Fasting or starvation can decrease BMR as the body conserves energy. Activity level can also influence BMR; the more active you are, the higher your BMR, as your body requires more energy for physical activities.
4. What is the digestive action of lipase?
- A. It breaks down carbohydrates
- B. It breaks down proteins
- C. It breaks down lipids
- D. It aids in fat digestion
Correct answer: C: It breaks down lipids
Rationale: Lipase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down lipids (fats) during the process of digestion, converting them into fatty acids and glycerol. This is why option C is the correct answer. Although option D is partially correct, it's less specific than option C. Lipase does not break down carbohydrates or proteins, so options A and B are incorrect.
5. In the recent technological innovations, which of the following describe researches that are made to improve and make human life easier?
- A. Pure research
- B. Basic research
- C. Applied research
- D. Experimental research
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.
