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

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. A nurse at a provider's office is providing teaching to a client who is taking chemotherapy and losing weight. Which of the following should the nurse recommend to increase calorie and protein intake? (Select one that does not apply.)

• A. Top yogurt with fruits.
• B. Add cream to soups.
• C. Use milk instead of water in recipes.
• D. Increase fluids during meals.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct recommendation to increase calorie and protein intake for a client taking chemotherapy and losing weight is to add cream to soups (choice B), as it provides additional calories and proteins. Using milk instead of water in recipes (choice C) can also increase the calorie and protein content. Topping yogurt with fruits (choice A) can be a healthy choice but may not significantly increase calorie and protein intake. Increasing fluids during meals (choice D) may fill up the stomach, potentially reducing the intake of solid foods, which is not ideal when trying to increase calorie and protein consumption.

3. Maria’s statement “Bow down before me! I am the holy mother of Christ! I am the blessed Virgin Mary!” is an example of:

• A. Delusion of grandeur
• B. Visual Hallucination
• C. Religious delusion
• D. Auditory Hallcucination

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.

4. Which of the following statements about Z-Track technique is false?

• A. Z-Track injections prevent irritation of the subcutaneous tissues
• B. The technique involves creating a Zig-Zag like pattern of medication
• C. It forces the medication to be contained in the subcutaneous tissues
• D. It is used when administering Parenteral Iron

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Z-Track technique is aimed at preventing medication leakage into the surrounding tissues by sealing the medication in the muscle, not by creating a Zig-Zag pattern. Choice A is correct as Z-Track injections help prevent irritation. Choice C is correct as it accurately describes how the technique works. Choice D is also correct as the Z-Track technique is commonly used when administering Parenteral Iron to prevent staining and irritation of the surrounding tissues.

5. What is the most appropriate instruction to provide to the parent of a child who does not like a food item?

• A. The child should not be encouraged to try it again.
• B. The child should be offered a reward if they eat most of the food items.
• C. The child should be offered the item at least 8 times on different occasions.
• D. The child should be encouraged to eat at least 5 bites of the food item.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Encouraging repeated exposure to the food item can help the child develop a taste for it. Option A is incorrect as it suggests avoiding encouraging the child to try the food again, which may hinder their ability to develop a liking for it. Option B is incorrect as using rewards for eating may not promote a genuine interest in the food item. Option D is incorrect because setting a specific number of bites may create pressure and negativity around mealtime, rather than fostering a positive association with the food.
