Nursing Elites

1. In consideration of the steps in applying the bag technique, which side of the paper lining of the CHN bag is considered clean to make a non-contaminated work area?

• A. The lower lip
• B. The outer surface
• C. The upper tip
• D. The inside surface

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. During which phase of the therapeutic relationship should the nurse inform the patient about the termination of therapy?

• A. Pre-orientation
• B. Orientation
• C. Working
• D. Termination

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Termination'. This phase of the therapeutic relationship is when the nurse informs the patient about the conclusion of therapy. It is during this phase that the nurse and the patient review the goals and progress made and also discuss the upcoming termination. The other phases are not the appropriate times for discussing termination. 'Pre-orientation' is the phase before the nurse-patient relationship is established; 'Orientation' is when the nurse and patient get to know each other and set goals; and 'Working' is when these goals are pursued. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect.

3. In one of your home visit to Mr. JUN, you found out that his son is sick with cholera. There is a great possibility that other member of the family will also get cholera. This possibility is a/an:

• A. Foreseeable crisis
• B. Health threat
• C. Health deficit
• D. Crisis

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.

4. What is one of the best nutritional actions a caregiver can take to help a patient with Alzheimer's disease maintain appropriate body weight?

• A. Thicken liquids to prevent choking
• B. Supervise food planning and mealtimes
• C. Assist the person in completing a grocery checklist
• D. Feed the person their meals and snacks

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Supervise food planning and mealtimes'. This action ensures the patient with Alzheimer's disease maintains an appropriate diet and body weight, thus reducing the risk of malnutrition. While choices A, 'Thicken liquids to prevent choking', C, 'Assist the person in completing a grocery checklist', and D, 'Feed the person their meals and snacks', might be beneficial in certain circumstances, they do not directly contribute to the maintenance of appropriate body weight as effectively as supervising food planning and mealtimes does.

5. Which type of lipid is solid at room temperature?

• A. Cholesterol
• B. Phospholipid
• C. Saturated fat
• D. Trans fat

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Saturated fats, such as those found in butter and lard, are typically solid at room temperature due to the lack of double bonds, which allows the fat molecules to pack closely together. Cholesterol (Choice A) is a steroid, not a fat, and while it's solid at room temperature, it doesn't fit the general category of 'lipid' in the context of this question. Phospholipids (Choice B) are a major component of all cell membranes and can be both solid and liquid at room temperature depending on their composition. Trans fats (Choice D) can also be solid or liquid at room temperature, but they are not typically referred to as 'lipids' in a general sense.
