Nursing Elites

1. Which of the following is NOT a part of a process recording?

• A. Non-verbal narrative account
• B. Analysis and interpretation
• C. Audio-visual recording
• D. Verbal narrative account

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A process recording typically includes a non-verbal narrative account (Choice A), an analysis and interpretation (Choice B), and a verbal narrative account (Choice D). These components help in providing a comprehensive assessment of a patient's condition and ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted for optimized outcomes. An audio-visual recording (Choice C), while it can be a part of some data collection processes, is not typically included in a process recording, making it the correct answer.

2. A nurse is teaching a group of clients about stress. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

• A. Protein requirements decrease in times of stress.
• B. Acute stress causes an increase in metabolism.
• C. Stress causes a positive nitrogen balance in the body.
• D. Glucose is broken down more slowly during times of stress.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Acute stress causes an increase in metabolism. During acute stress, the body's fight-or-flight response is activated, leading to an increase in metabolism to provide energy for the body to respond to the stressor. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Protein requirements actually increase during times of stress to support the body's needs. Stress typically leads to a negative nitrogen balance in the body, not a positive one. Glucose is broken down more rapidly, not slowly, during times of stress to provide immediate energy.

3. A nurse is developing an education program for a community group about dietary intake of vitamins and minerals in the diet. The nurse should include which of the following foods as sources of vitamin C? (Select the food that does not apply.)

• A. Green pepper
• B. Orange
• C. Cabbage
• D. Milk

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is E: Milk. Milk is not a significant source of vitamin C. Choices A, B, C, and D are all good sources of vitamin C. Green pepper, orange, cabbage, and strawberries contain vitamin C and can be included in the diet to meet the body's need for this essential vitamin. Milk, on the other hand, is not known for its vitamin C content, so it does not apply as a source of this particular vitamin.

4. What is your estimate of the population of pregnant woman needing tetanus toxoid vaccination?

• A. 632.5 C. 450.5
• B. 512.5 D. 332.5
• C.
• D.

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.

5. All of the following are contraindications when giving Immunization except:

• A. BCG Vaccine can be given to a child with AIDS
• B. BCG Vaccine can be given to a child with Hepatitis B
• C. DPT can be given to a child that had convulsion 3 days after being given the first DPT dose
• D. DPT can be given to a child with active convulsion or other neurological disease

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. BCG vaccine can be given to a child with Hepatitis B, as there is no contraindication for this. Choice A, C, and D all present contraindications for administering immunizations. Choice A is incorrect because giving BCG vaccines to a child with AIDS is a contraindication. Choice C is incorrect as convulsions after the first DPT dose indicate a contraindication to subsequent doses. Choice D is incorrect because active convulsions or other neurological diseases are contraindications to receiving the DPT vaccine.
