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. A healthcare provider is teaching a client who has constipation about a high-fiber diet. Which of the following foods should be included as sources of fiber? (Select one that does not apply.)

• A. Whole wheat bread
• B. Kidney beans
• C. Refined cereals
• D. Blackberries

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Refined cereals are not a good source of fiber as they have been processed and stripped off most of their fiber content. Whole wheat bread, kidney beans, and blackberries are excellent sources of fiber. Whole wheat bread is made from whole grains, which are high in fiber. Kidney beans are rich in fiber and can help alleviate constipation. Blackberries are a good source of fiber and can aid in promoting bowel regularity.

3. The term associated with loss of taste is:

• A. Xerostomia
• B. Hypogeusia
• C. Dysphagia
• D. Anosmia

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Hypogeusia.' Hypogeusia refers to a diminished sense of taste, which can impact nutritional intake, especially in older adults. Xerostomia (choice A) is dry mouth, Dysphagia (choice C) is difficulty swallowing, and Anosmia (choice D) is the loss of the sense of smell. These conditions are different from loss of taste, making them incorrect choices for this question.

4. A client who is postpartum and has been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia should be taught to consume which of the following dietary recommendations?

• A. Yogurt and mozzarella
• B. Spinach and beef
• C. Milk and turkey slices
• D. Fish and cottage cheese

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is spinach and beef. Both spinach and beef are high in iron, making them excellent choices to help combat iron deficiency anemia. Yogurt, mozzarella, milk, turkey slices, fish, and cottage cheese are not as rich in iron compared to spinach and beef, so they are not the most suitable dietary recommendations for a client with iron deficiency anemia.

5. Based on the Code of Ethics for Filipino Nurses, what is regarded as the hallmark of nursing responsibility and accountability?

• A. Human rights of clients, regardless of creed and gender
• B. The privilege of being a registered professional nurses
• C. Health, being a fundamental right of every individual
• D. Accurate documentation of actions and outcomes

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.
