Nursing Elites

1. The nurse knows that after receiving the blood from the blood bank, it should be administered within:

• A. 1 hour
• B. 2 hours
• C. 4 hours
• D. 6 hours

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Blood transfusions need to be administered promptly after receiving the blood from the blood bank to ensure patient safety and effectiveness. Waiting too long can lead to complications such as bacterial growth in the blood product, which can be harmful when infused. Administering the blood within 6 hours is crucial to prevent such risks. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because waiting for 1, 2, or 4 hours respectively can increase the likelihood of complications associated with delayed transfusion.

2. What is the primary goal of a dental hygienist when making dietary recommendations for a patient with a new dental prosthesis?

• A. To promote healing and repair by ensuring an adequate and nutrient-dense diet
• B. To promote healing and repair by recommending consumption of only liquids for the first week
• C. To promote a balanced diet by recommending a variety of fibrous foods
• D. To encourage the patient to become accustomed to the prosthesis by eating as usual

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The primary goal of a dental hygienist when making dietary recommendations for a patient with a new dental prosthesis is to promote healing and repair. This can be achieved by ensuring the patient maintains an adequate and nutrient-dense diet. This is why option 'A' is the correct answer. Option 'B' is incorrect because while liquids are easier to consume with a new dental prosthesis, a diet consisting only of liquids for a week may not provide all necessary nutrients. Option 'C' is incorrect because while a variety of fibrous foods can contribute to a healthy diet, it's not specifically relevant to the healing and adjustment to a new dental prosthesis. Option 'D' is incorrect because eating as usual may not be feasible or comfortable for a patient with a new prosthesis, and it doesn't specifically focus on promoting healing and repair.

3. In one of your home visit to Mr. JUN, you found out that his son is sick with cholera. There is a great possibility that other member of the family will also get cholera. This possibility is a/an:

• A. Foreseeable crisis
• B. Health threat
• C. Health deficit
• D. Crisis

Correct answer: C

4. What special consideration should be taken into account when Mario prepares Richard for postural drainage and percussion?

• A. Monitoring a respiratory rate of 16 to 20 per minute
• B. Assessing the client's ability to tolerate sitting and lying positions
• C. Ensuring the client is free of signs of infection
• D. Knowing the time of the client's last food and fluid intake

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, 'Monitoring a respiratory rate of 16 to 20 per minute'. When performing postural drainage and percussion, it is crucial to monitor the respiratory rate to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Choice B, 'Assessing the client's ability to tolerate sitting and lying positions', while important, is not directly related to the specifics of postural drainage and percussion. Similarly, option C, 'Ensuring the client is free of signs of infection', although important, is not directly linked to the procedure. Option D, 'Knowing the time of the client's last food and fluid intake', might be relevant for other procedures, but it is not the primary consideration for postural drainage and percussion.

5. During the first 24 hours of burn, nursing measures should focus on which of the following?

• A. I and O hourly
• B. Strict aseptic technique
• C. Forced oral fluids
• D. Isolate the patient

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.
