1. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges state that half of your calories should come from protein.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The statement is FALSE. The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommend that 10-35% of daily calories come from protein, not half. The remaining calories should be derived from a combination of carbohydrates and fats to ensure a balanced diet. Choosing option A is incorrect because it misinterprets the recommended percentage for protein intake. Options C and D are left blank as they are not applicable to the question.

2. Which factor contributes to the development of bone diseases in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) due to retention?

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

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is phosphorus. Retention of phosphorus in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) contributes to the development of bone disorders, including osteodystrophy, because it disrupts the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the body. This imbalance leads to a variety of bone diseases. The other options - iron, sodium, and potassium - while important in the overall metabolic function, are not directly linked to the development of bone diseases in CKD patients due to retention.

3. In the recent technological innovations, which of the following describe researches that are made to improve and make human life easier?

• A. Pure research
• B. Basic research
• C. Applied research
• D. Experimental research

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.

4. What should be the next step in the nursing research process?

• A. Review related literature
• B. Seek permission from the hospital administrator
• C. Identify the research problem
• D. Develop methods for data collection

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Develop methods for data collection' (Choice D). In the nursing research process, after the research problem has been identified, the next step would typically be to develop methods for how data will be collected. This is essential to effectively address the research problem. 'Review related literature' (Choice A), while an important step, usually occurs after the research problem has been identified and before methods for data collection are developed. 'Seek permission from the hospital administrator' (Choice B) might be necessary at some point in certain situations, but it is not the immediate next step in the research process. 'Identify the research problem' (Choice C) would typically come before developing methods for data collection. Therefore, according to the typical sequence of steps in the nursing research process, Choice D is correct.

5. Based on universally-accepted color codes, what color would you expect a tank containing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to have?

• A. Red
• B. Blue
• C. Green
• D. Orange

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Red. In the medical field, tanks containing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) are typically color-coded with a specific color for easy identification. Nitrous oxide tanks are commonly labeled with a red color code. This color-coding system helps healthcare providers quickly and accurately identify the contents of the tanks, reducing the risk of errors in administering gases to patients. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the universally-accepted color for nitrous oxide tanks is red, not blue, green, or orange.
