Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. If the child does not have ear problem, using IMCI, what should you as the nurse do?

• A. Check for ear discharge
• B. Check for tender swellings behind the ear
• C. Check for ear pain
• D. Go to the next question, check for malnutrition

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.

3. A nurse is caring for an older adult client who reports difficulty chewing due to ill-fitting dentures. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend for the client?

• A. Dried fruit
• B. Roast beef
• C. Tuna fish
• D. Apple slices

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tuna fish. Tuna fish is a soft and easy-to-chew option, suitable for clients with ill-fitting dentures. Dried fruit (choice A) can be tough to chew and may stick to the dentures, causing discomfort. Roast beef (choice B) requires significant chewing effort and may not be suitable for someone with difficulty chewing. Apple slices (choice D) are crunchy and hard, which can be challenging for individuals with ill-fitting dentures.

4. A nurse is educating a group of older adults in a community center on weight management using the BMI scale. Using the client's height and weight to calculate BMI, which of the following clients has a healthy BMI?

• A. A client with a weight of 128 lb and height of 70 inches
• B. A client with a weight of 150 lb and height of 68 inches
• C. A client with a weight of 200 lb and height of 72 inches
• D. A client with a weight of 133 lb and height of 60 inches

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine a healthy BMI, we need to calculate it using the formula: BMI = weight (lbs) / height^2 (inches) x 703. For choice A, BMI = 128 / (70 x 70) x 703 = 18.38, which falls within the healthy BMI range of 18.5-24.9. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D have BMIs of 22.8, 27.1, and 26.1, respectively, which are outside the healthy range. Thus, choices B, C, and D are incorrect.

5. A nurse is developing an education program for a community group about dietary intake of vitamins and minerals in the diet. The nurse should include which of the following foods as sources of vitamin C? (Select the food that does not apply.)

• A. Green pepper
• B. Orange
• C. Cabbage
• D. Milk

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is E: Milk. Milk is not a significant source of vitamin C. Choices A, B, C, and D are all good sources of vitamin C. Green pepper, orange, cabbage, and strawberries contain vitamin C and can be included in the diet to meet the body's need for this essential vitamin. Milk, on the other hand, is not known for its vitamin C content, so it does not apply as a source of this particular vitamin.
