1. Miss CEE is admitted for treatment of major depression. She appears withdrawn, disheveled, and states 'Nobody wants me'. What does the nurse most likely expect that Miss CEE is to be placed on?
- A. Neuroleptics medication
- B. Special diet
- C. Suicide precaution
- D. Anxiolytics medication
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Given Miss CEE's state of major depression and her expressed feelings of worthlessness ('Nobody wants me'), the nurse would most likely expect her to be placed on suicide precaution. This means that measures would be taken to ensure her safety and to prevent her from harming herself. While medications like neuroleptics (Choice A) and anxiolytics (Choice D) might be employed as part of her overall treatment, these medicines are primarily used for conditions like psychosis and anxiety respectively, not specifically for depression or suicidal ideation. A special diet (Choice B) may be part of a comprehensive treatment plan, but it is not as immediate or as directly related to her current emotional and psychological state as suicide precaution is.
2. During operation, who manages the lighting, noise, temperature and other factors in the operating room suite?
- A. Nurse Supervisor
- B. Surgeon
- C. Circulating Nurse
- D. Scrub Nurse
Correct answer: C: Circulating Nurse
Rationale: In an operating room, the circulating nurse is responsible for managing environmental factors such as lighting, noise, and temperature. This role includes ensuring the comfort and safety of the patient, as well as the efficiency of the team. While the Nurse Supervisor, Surgeon, and Scrub Nurse also have crucial roles during an operation, they do not directly manage the environmental conditions of the operating room. The rationale provided does not directly address the question asked, and appears to relate more to the broader role of nursing in patient care.
3. The influence of situational factors on moral judgments indicates that like Piaget's cognitive stages, Kohlberg's moral stages are __________.
- A. predictable and universal
- B. highly organized and sequential
- C. attained in a neat, stepwise fashion
- D. loosely organized and overlapping
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Kohlberg's moral stages are not strictly sequential but rather overlap and are more fluid, much like Piaget's cognitive stages. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because Kohlberg's stages do not follow a neat, predictable, or highly organized pattern, as they can be revisited and experienced in varying orders.
4. With which of the following should fluoride supplements never be taken?
- A. Water
- B. Juice
- C. Milk
- D. Soda
Correct answer: C: Milk
Rationale: Fluoride supplements should never be taken with milk because the fluoride binds with the calcium in the milk, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the fluoride supplement. Other beverages like water, juice, or soda do not share this characteristic as they do not contain the same level of calcium as milk. The rationale behind choosing milk as the correct answer is that it hampers the effectiveness of fluoride supplements, whereas the other choices do not.
5. Which of the following lab tests should NOT be used for diagnosing connective tissue diseases?
- A. Rheumatoid factor (RF)
- B. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- C. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)
- D. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Correct answer: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Rationale:
