1. On the study “effects of effective nurse-patient communication in decreasing anxiety of post operative patients†What is the Independent variable?
- A. Effective Nurse-patient communication
- B. Communication
- C. Decreasing Anxiety
- D. Post operative patient
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. Which food items should be consumed with nonheme iron to increase its absorption, according to a nurse's education plan for clients?
- A. Kiwi
- B. Strawberries
- C. Coffee
- D. Kiwi and Strawberries
Correct answer: D: Kiwi and Strawberries
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Kiwi and Strawberries. Both of these fruits are high in vitamin C, a nutrient known to enhance the absorption of nonheme iron. Vitamin C facilitates the conversion of nonheme iron into a form that is more readily absorbed by the body, thereby enhancing iron intake. In contrast, coffee (Choice C) contains certain compounds that can actually inhibit the absorption of iron, making it a less desirable choice when the goal is to increase iron absorption. Consequently, Choices A (Kiwi), B (Strawberries), and C (Coffee) were specifically picked to highlight the varying effects of different food items on nonheme iron absorption.
3. What is the term for mobilizing people to become aware of their own problems and to take action to solve them?
- A. Community Organizing
- B. Family Nursing Care Plan
- C. Nursing Intervention
- D. Nursing Process
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is Community Organizing. This involves engaging and mobilizing individuals in a community or group to take action for the mutual benefit or to solve common problems. The options 'Family Nursing Care Plan', 'Nursing Intervention', and 'Nursing Process' are incorrect as these terms refer to specific nursing practices and methods, not the broader action of mobilizing and engaging a community to solve its own problems. Moreover, the provided rationale does not match the original question and correct answer. It instead describes the proactive and preventative nature of nursing care, which is unrelated to the concept of community organizing.
4. When documenting outcome of Richard’s treatment Mario should include the following in his recording EXCEPT:
- A. Color, amount and consistency of sputum
- B. Character of breath sounds and respiratory rate before and after procedure
- C. Amount of fluid intake of client before and after the procedure
- D. Significant changes in vital signs
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.
5. Worldwide, what is the most common nutrient deficiency?
- A. magnesium deficiency
- B. iron deficiency
- C. selenium deficiency
- D. zinc deficiency
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency globally. It leads to anemia and affects many populations, especially women and children. Magnesium, selenium, and zinc deficiencies are important, but they are not as prevalent as iron deficiency on a global scale.
