1. Which of the following suggestions is the healthiest for Miguel, who is always hungry and never seems to feel full despite eating enough calories?
- A. Switch out energy-dense foods with more nutrient-dense foods that are more likely to make him feel full
- B. Drink adequate amounts of water
- C. A, B
- D. Eat foods with more fat, as fat slows gastric emptying and will make him feel more full
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is A and B. Switching to more nutrient-dense foods can help Miguel feel full despite eating enough calories. Nutrient-dense foods provide essential nutrients and are more satisfying. Drinking adequate water is also crucial for overall health and can help with feelings of fullness. Choice D is incorrect because while fat can contribute to satiety, it should be consumed in balance with other nutrients. Consuming foods with high fat content excessively may lead to other health issues and does not address the underlying problem of feeling constantly hungry despite eating.
2. Mang Carlos has a standing DNR order. He then suddenly stopped breathing and you are at his bedside. You would:
- A. Give extraordinary measures to save Mang Carlos
- B. Stay with Mang Carlos and Do nothing
- C. Call the physician
- D. Activate Code Blue
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 is a normal change observed in an elderly individual?
- A. Enhanced sense of taste
- B. Increased appetite
- C. Frequent urination
- D. Lens thinning
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, frequent urination. As people age, they may experience physiological changes that can lead to an increased frequency of urination. This is due to a decrease in bladder capacity and increased bladder irritability, which are normal age-related changes. On the contrary, the sense of taste (Choice A) and appetite (Choice B) often decrease with age, not increase. As for Choice D, the lens of the eye actually thickens with age, not thins, leading to conditions like presbyopia. Therefore, Choices A, B, and D are incorrect.
4. This special form is used when the patient is admitted to the unit. The nurse completes the information in this record particularly his/her basic personal data, current illness, previous health history, health history of the family, emotional profile, environmental history as well as physical assessment together with nursing diagnosis on admission. What do you call this record?
- A. Nursing Kardex
- B. Nursing Health History and Assessment Worksheet
- C. Medicine and Treatment Record
- D. Discharge Summary
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.
5. The nurse is planning education about appropriate protein food choices for a client who has recently been prescribed a renal diet. Which protein food items should the nurse include in the education?
- A. Yogurt, seeds, and lentils
- B. Beef, bacon, and nuts
- C. Peanut butter, beans, and peas
- D. Poultry, eggs, and fish
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Poultry, eggs, and fish. These protein sources are high-quality proteins suitable for a renal diet as they provide essential amino acids without excessive amounts of potassium or phosphorus. Choice A, yogurt, seeds, and lentils, may be high in potassium and phosphorus, which could be restricted in a renal diet. Choice B, beef, bacon, and nuts, are also high in phosphorus and may not be ideal for a renal diet. Choice C, peanut butter, beans, and peas, are high in potassium and phosphorus, making them less suitable for a renal diet.
