1. In administering blood transfusion, what needle gauge is used?

• A. 18 C. 23
• B. 22 D. 24
• C.
• D.

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.

2. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges state that half of your calories should come from protein.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement is FALSE. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommend that 10-35% of daily calories come from protein, not half. The remaining calories should be derived from a combination of carbohydrates and fats to ensure a balanced diet. Choosing option A is incorrect because it misinterprets the recommended percentage for protein intake. Options C and D are left blank as they are not applicable to the question.

3. While the client has a pulse oximeter on his fingertip, you notice that sunlight is shining on the area where the oximeter is. Your action will be to:

• A. Set and turn on the alarm of the oximeter
• B. Do nothing since there is no identified problem
• C. Cover the fingertip sensor with a towel or bedsheet
• D. Change the location of the sensor every four hours

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this scenario, the correct action is to do nothing since there is no identified problem with the sunlight shining on the area where the oximeter is placed. The functionality of the oximeter is not affected by sunlight, so covering it or changing its location unnecessarily could disrupt the monitoring process. Setting the alarm or changing the sensor location every four hours is not indicated in this situation and may lead to unnecessary interventions. It's essential to assess the situation carefully and intervene only when necessary, ensuring that care provided is appropriate and effective.

4. In the US, low iron intake is often associated with?

• A. low intake of fruits and vegetables
• B. pregnancy

• D. Returning the child to the doctor if the condition worsens

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Continuing feeding is a recommended treatment for a child classified with no dehydration. This helps maintain the child's nutritional status and supports recovery. Options A, C, and D are appropriate interventions for a child with no dehydration. Option A ensures adequate fluid intake, option C promotes hydration, and option D ensures appropriate follow-up if the condition worsens.
