Nursing Elites

1. Ms. Maria Salvacion says that she is the incarnation of the holy Virgin Mary. She said that she is the child of the covenant that would save this world from the evil forces of Satan. One morning, while caring for her, she stood in front of you and said “Bow down before me! I am the holy mother of Christ! I am the blessed Virgin Mary!” The best response by the Nurse is:

• A. Tell me more about being the Virgin Mary
• B. So, You are the Virgin Mary?
• C. Excuse me but, you are not anymore a Virgin so you cannot be the Blessed Virgin Mary.
• D. You are Maria Salvacion

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.

2. If a person could not make bile, what would happen?

• A. experience fatigue, as the body would not be able to make lipid carriers to deliver fat to body cells for energy
• B. have less cholesterol being made by the liver
• C. need to consume higher levels of fat
• D. be unable to absorb most lipids, and fat would be excreted in the feces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Bile is essential for emulsifying fats in the small intestine, allowing them to be absorbed. Without bile, most fats would not be absorbed and would be excreted in the feces. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the primary role of bile is in the digestion and absorption of fats, rather than affecting lipid carriers, cholesterol production, or dietary fat consumption.

3. Which biomolecule is responsible for the storage and transfer of genetic information?

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Proteins
• C. Lipids
• D. Nucleic acids

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are the biomolecules responsible for storing and transferring genetic information within cells. Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids do not have this specific function. Carbohydrates are mainly used for energy storage, structural support, and cellular communication. Proteins are involved in various cellular functions such as enzymatic reactions, structural support, and signaling. Lipids play roles in energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling.

4. A patient with renal insufficiency should limit the intake of which of the following nutrients?

• A. Phosphorus
• B. Potassium
• C. Sodium
• D. Calcium

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In patients with renal insufficiency, impaired kidney function can lead to difficulty in excreting phosphorus. High phosphorus levels can result in further complications such as bone and heart problems. Therefore, limiting the intake of phosphorus is crucial. Potassium and sodium restrictions may also be necessary in renal insufficiency, but the primary concern related to nutrients is phosphorus in this scenario. Calcium, while important for bone health, does not typically need to be restricted in renal insufficiency unless there is a specific medical reason to do so.

5. Which of the following questions illustrates the group role of encourager?

• A. What were you saying?
• B. Who wants to respond next?
• C. Where do you go from here?
• D. Why haven’t we heard from you?

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.
