Nursing Elites

1. The community/Public Health Bag is:

• A. a requirement for home visits
• B. an essential and indispensable equipment of the community health nurse
• C. contains basic medications and articles used by the community health nurse
• D. a tool used by the Community health nurse is rendering effective nursing procedures during a home visit

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 of the following nutrients provide energy?(Select ONE that does not apply.)

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Fats
• C. Protein
• D. Water

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are the three macronutrients that provide energy (calories) to the body. Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy, fats act as a secondary source when carbohydrate energy is exhausted, and proteins are used for energy when carbohydrate and fat sources are low. Choice D, Water, is essential for the body's functions, but it does not provide energy.

3. In comparison to infants born to women of normal weight, infants born to obese women are _____.

• A. less likely to have heart defects
• B. more likely to be of very low birthweight
• C. less likely to experience a complicated birth
• D. more likely to have neural tube defects

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Infants born to obese women are more likely to have neural tube defects compared to infants born to women of normal weight. This increased risk is attributed to factors such as poor maternal nutrition and increased inflammation during pregnancy. Choice A is incorrect because infants born to obese women have a higher risk of heart defects. Choice B is incorrect as infants born to obese women are more likely to have higher birthweights. Choice C is incorrect as obese women are more likely to experience complications during birth.

4. Earliest sign of skin reaction to radiation therapy is:

• A. desquamation
• B. erythema
• C. atrophy
• D. pigmentation

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.

5. What is the conversion of genetic information in RNA into a sequence of amino acids?

• A. translation
• B. transcription
• C.
• D.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'translation.' Translation is the process where the genetic information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids, forming a protein. This process occurs at ribosomes within the cell. Option B, 'transcription,' is incorrect as transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from a DNA template. Options C and D are irrelevant as they are not related to the conversion of genetic information into amino acids.
