Nursing Elites

1. People with only one arm or hand may benefit from using a ____ when eating?

• A. dish with suction cups
• B. rocker knife
• C. utensil holder
• D. flexible straw

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A rocker knife is specifically designed for individuals with limited use of one hand or arm, allowing them to cut food easily. This makes it a suitable option for people with only one arm or hand. Choice A, a dish with suction cups, may not directly aid in cutting food with one hand. Choice C, an utensil holder, is not typically used for cutting food. Choice D, a flexible straw, is more related to drinking liquids and not specifically designed to assist in cutting food one-handed.

2. 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.

3. Which of the following vaccines is not done by intramuscular (IM) injection?

• A. Measles vaccine C. Hepa-B vaccine
• B. DPT D. Tetanus toxoids
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.

4. A healthcare professional is preparing an education program for a group of parents of adolescents. Which of the following should be included as indicators of nutritional risk among adolescents? (Select one that does not apply.)

• A. Skipping more than three meals per week
• B. Eating fast food once weekly
• C. Eating without family supervision frequently
• D. Frequently skipping breakfast

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Among the indicators of nutritional risk among adolescents, skipping meals, eating without family supervision, and frequently skipping breakfast are commonly associated with poor nutrition. However, eating fast food once weekly may not necessarily indicate a significant nutritional risk, as occasional consumption of fast food in moderation is not uncommon among adolescents. This choice is the correct answer because it does not strongly correlate with nutritional risk compared to the other options provided.

5. A caregiver is teaching a parent about recommended protein intake for a toddler. Which of the following food selections is equivalent to 1 oz of protein?

• A. 2 tbsp peanut butter
• B. ½ cup peas
• C. 1 slice of bread
• D. 1 scrambled egg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: One scrambled egg is equivalent to 1 oz of protein, making it a suitable choice for a toddler's diet. A ½ cup of peas (choice B) does not provide 1 oz of protein but is still a good source of protein. 2 tbsp of peanut butter (choice A) contains more than 1 oz of protein. 1 slice of bread (choice C) typically provides less protein than 1 oz.
