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. A vegan patient might be at risk for deficiency in which of the following nutrients?
- A. Vitamin B12
- B. Vitamin C
- C. Carbohydrates
- D. Fiber
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products, so individuals following a vegan diet are at risk of deficiency as they do not consume these sources. Vitamin C, Carbohydrates, and Fiber are not specifically at risk for deficiency in vegan diets as they can be obtained from plant-based sources.
3. If it is determined that a child is being physically abused by a parent, what would be the most important goal for the nurse to establish with the family?
- A. The child and any siblings will reside in a secure environment
- B. The family will feel at ease in their relationship with the counselor
- C. The family will gain insight into their abusive behavior patterns
- D. The mother will learn to apply verbal discipline with her children
Correct answer: A: The child and any siblings will reside in a secure environment
Rationale: The primary objective when dealing with cases of child abuse is to ensure the safety of the child and any siblings. This means creating a secure environment free from harm, which is why choice 'A' is the correct answer. While choices 'B', 'C', and 'D' might be subsequent steps in a comprehensive plan to deal with the situation, they are not the immediate priority. Understanding abusive behavioral patterns or improving the relationship with the counselor will not directly lead to the child's safety. Likewise, teaching the mother to apply verbal discipline doesn't guarantee the child's safety if the abusive behavior continues. Therefore, these options are not the most important initial goal.
4. In the US, low iron intake is often associated with?
- A. low intake of fruits and vegetables
- B. pregnancy
- C. high sugar and fat intakes
- D. high protein intake
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Diets high in sugar and fat often lack essential nutrients like iron, leading to a risk of iron deficiency anemia, especially when iron-rich foods are not consumed adequately.
5. The nurse is caring for an infant whose parent reports the infant takes a bottle to go to sleep. What should the nurse instruct to prevent baby bottle tooth decay?
- A. Water
- B. Milk
- C. Iron-fortified formula
- D. Unsweetened fruit juice
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, Water. Water is recommended to prevent baby bottle tooth decay caused by sugary substances present in milk, formula, or fruit juice. Water does not contain sugars that can contribute to tooth decay, unlike the other options. Milk, formula, and unsweetened fruit juice can all lead to tooth decay if the baby falls asleep with them in their mouth, as the sugars can linger on the teeth and cause decay over time. Iron-fortified formula, although beneficial for the infant's nutrition, still contains sugars that can be harmful to the teeth.
