Nursing Elites

1. When is the recommended time for introducing solid foods into an infant's diet?

• A. 3 months
• B. 6 months
• C. 9 months
• D. 12 months

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The recommended time for introducing solid foods into an infant's diet is around 6 months of age. Introducing solids too early can increase the risk of food allergies and digestive issues, while waiting too long may lead to nutritional deficiencies. By around 6 months, most infants have the necessary physical and developmental skills to start eating solid foods alongside breast milk or formula.

2. Which step in community organizing involves the training of potential leaders in the community?

• A. Integration
• B. Community organization
• C. Community study
• D. Core group formation

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In core group formation, potential or informal community leaders are trained in community organizing techniques to empower them to take on leadership roles within the community. This step is crucial in building capacity and sustainability within the community organizing process.

3. In family nursing, the typology of family nursing problems is used in the statement of nursing diagnosis for families. The youngest child of the Delos Reyes family has been diagnosed with mental retardation. This is classified as:

• A. Health threat
• B. Health deficit
• C. Foreseeable crisis
• D. Stress point

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In the context of family nursing, when a family member like the youngest child is diagnosed with mental retardation, it represents a health deficit. A health deficit occurs when a family member fails to develop as expected, as in the case of mental retardation. This classification helps nurses identify and address the specific health needs of the family.

4. Knowing that malnutrition is a common community health issue, you decided to conduct a nutritional assessment. What population is particularly vulnerable to protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)?

• A. Pregnant women and the elderly
• B. Under 5-year-old children
• C. 1-4-year-old children
• D. School-age children

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Under 5-year-old children are particularly susceptible to protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) because they have generally been weaned and often rely on others for food. This population may suffer from poor intrafamilial food distribution, contributing to their vulnerability.

5. Which age group is most vulnerable to protein-energy malnutrition (PEM)?

• A. Infants below 6 months
• B. Children aged 1-4 years
• C. Adolescents
• D. Elderly

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Children aged 1-4 years are most vulnerable to protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) due to their rapid growth and development, increased nutritional requirements, and sometimes inadequate diets. This age group is particularly susceptible to malnutrition if they do not receive adequate protein and energy-rich foods to support their growth and development.
