1. In supply and equipment management, what is the FIRST step in the procurement process?
- A. Keep hand receipts up to date
- B. Establish requirements
- C. Requisition supplies and equipment through the proper channels
- D. Properly receive, inspect, and store required items
Correct answer: B
Rationale: In the procurement process, the FIRST step is to establish requirements. This step involves identifying and defining the needs for supplies and equipment before moving forward with the procurement process. Keeping hand receipts up to date (Choice A) is a task related to tracking and managing inventory but comes after the requirements have been established. Requisitioning supplies and equipment (Choice C) and receiving, inspecting, and storing items (Choice D) are subsequent steps in the procurement process that follow after the requirements have been determined.
2. Students in the resident M6 Practical Nurse Course are expected to achieve entry-level competencies for which of the following?
- A. Medical-surgical nursing
- B. Obstetrics and newborn nursing
- C. Pediatric nursing
- D. Trauma nursing
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Medical-surgical nursing. In the resident M6 Practical Nurse Course, students are expected to achieve entry-level competencies in medical-surgical nursing, which includes caring for adult patients who are acutely ill or recovering from surgery. Obstetrics and newborn nursing (choice B), pediatric nursing (choice C), and trauma nursing (choice D) are specialized areas that may not be covered in the entry-level competencies of the practical nurse course.
3. Enteral feedings may be appropriate for patients with:
- A. Acute cholecystitis
- B. Hepatic encephalopathy
- C. Ulcerative colitis in remission
- D. Acute exacerbation of Crohn’s disease
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Enteral feedings are commonly utilized for patients experiencing acute exacerbations of Crohn’s disease to provide necessary nutrition and rest the bowel. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because enteral feedings are not typically indicated for acute cholecystitis, hepatic encephalopathy, or ulcerative colitis in remission.
4. Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic areas of concern into which practical nurse management responsibilities can be categorized?
- A. Managing patients' legal affairs
- B. Managing the hypothalamus: The hypothalamus is a small area in the brain located just below the thalamus. It plays a crucial role in controlling various bodily functions, including temperature regulation, hunger, and thirst, sleep-wake cycles, and hormone regulation. The hypothalamus is also involved in the control of the autonomic nervous system and the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
- C. Managing work center operations
- D. Managing personnel
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Managing patients' legal affairs is not a basic area of concern in practical nurse management responsibilities. The primary areas typically include managing work center operations, managing personnel, and overseeing patient care. Choice B, managing the hypothalamus, is irrelevant to nurse management responsibilities and is not a standard area of concern in this context. Choice C, managing work center operations, and Choice D, managing personnel, align more closely with the core responsibilities and concerns of practical nurse management roles.
5. The healthcare provider is conducting a respiratory assessment and is determining respirations per minute. Which factor(s) generally affect the character of respirations? Select all that apply.
- A. Anxiety
- B. Exercise
- C. Smoking
- D. A, B
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Correct! Anxiety and exercise can significantly alter the character of respirations, increasing the rate and depth. Smoking, while harmful to the respiratory system in the long term, does not directly affect the character of respirations like anxiety and exercise do. Therefore, choices C (Smoking) is incorrect. The correct answer is D (A, B).
