1. What instruction should the nurse include on weight gain during pregnancy?
- A. Failure to obtain the required weight gain during pregnancy will increase the risk of preterm birth.
- B. An obese client needs to gain as much weight as a client with a normal body mass index.
- C. A client with a normal body mass index should plan on gaining 50 pounds.
- D. Clients will need to eat for two when they are pregnant.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Appropriate weight gain is crucial for reducing the risk of preterm birth.
2. The nurse notes that the fall might also cause a possible head injury. The patient will be observed for signs of increased intracranial pressure which include:
- A. Narrowing of the pulse pressure
- B. Vomiting
- C. Periorbital edema
- D. A positive Kernig's sign
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Periorbital edema is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is caused by fluid accumulation around the eyes due to compromised drainage. Narrowing of the pulse pressure is more indicative of shock than increased intracranial pressure. While vomiting can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, it is not as specific as periorbital edema. A positive Kernig's sign is associated with meningitis, not increased intracranial pressure.
3. Which of the following groups of vitamins are fat-soluble?
- A. vitamins B and C
- B. vitamins A and C
- C. vitamins B, E, K, D
- D. vitamins A, E, K, D
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: vitamins A, E, K, and D. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed along with fats in the diet and can be stored in the body's fatty tissue. Vitamins B and C are water-soluble vitamins and are not stored in the body; any excess amounts are usually excreted in the urine. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect.
4. In the management process, the periodic checking of the results of action to make sure that it coincides with the goal of the institution is termed as:
- A. Planning
- B. Evaluating
- C. Directing
- D. Organizing
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Evaluating. Evaluating involves the periodic checking of results to ensure they align with the institution's goals. Planning (choice A) is about setting goals and determining the actions required to achieve them. Directing (choice C) involves overseeing and guiding the activities of individuals or teams to accomplish goals. Organizing (choice D) is about arranging resources and tasks to achieve objectives. In the context of the management process described, evaluating best fits the action of checking results against goals.
5. During times of staff and financial shortage, which method is the best and most effective?
- A. Functional Method
- B. Primary Nursing
- C. Team Nursing
- D. Modular Method
Correct answer: D
Rationale: During times of staff and financial shortage, the Modular Method is considered the best and most effective. This method allows for flexibility and adaptability in assigning tasks and responsibilities, making it easier to cope with limited resources. Functional Method (Choice A) focuses on the division of labor based on each staff member's skills, which may not be the most efficient during shortages. Primary Nursing (Choice B) and Team Nursing (Choice C) may require a more significant number of staff, making them less suitable during shortages.
