1. What is the rationale in the use of bag technique during home visits?

• A. It helps render effective nursing care to clients or other members of the family
• B. It saves time and effort of the nurse in the performance of nursing procedures
• C. It should minimize or prevent the spread of infection from individuals to families
• D. It should not overshadow concerns for the patient

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.

2. A client with cholecystitis is being taught about required dietary modifications. Which of the following foods is appropriate for the client's diet?

• A. Creamed chicken
• B. Roast turkey
• C. Ice cream
• D. Macaroni and cheese

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Roast turkey is the most appropriate choice for a client with cholecystitis. Foods that are high in fat content, like creamed chicken, ice cream, and macaroni and cheese, should be avoided in cholecystitis as they can exacerbate symptoms due to the reduced ability of the gallbladder to process fats. Roast turkey is a leaner option that is better tolerated by individuals with cholecystitis.

3. Which nutrient is most important for wound healing in a patient post-surgery?

• A. Vitamin C
• B. Protein
• C. Iron
• D. Calcium

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Protein is essential for tissue repair and wound healing.

4. If a person could not make bile, what would happen?

• A. experience fatigue, as the body would not be able to make lipid carriers to deliver fat to body cells for energy
• B. have less cholesterol being made by the liver
• C. need to consume higher levels of fat
• D. be unable to absorb most lipids, and fat would be excreted in the feces

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Bile is essential for emulsifying fats in the small intestine, allowing them to be absorbed. Without bile, most fats would not be absorbed and would be excreted in the feces. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the primary role of bile is in the digestion and absorption of fats, rather than affecting lipid carriers, cholesterol production, or dietary fat consumption.

5. Each statement is true of fat-soluble vitamins, except one. Which is the exception?

• A. Fairly stable to heat, such as during cooking
• B. Contain carbon
• C. Stored in the pancreas
• D. Absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not stored in the pancreas; they are stored in the liver and fatty tissues. Choice A is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are fairly stable to heat. Choice B is also correct as fat-soluble vitamins contain carbon. Choice D is correct as fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed in the intestine along with fats and lipids in food.
