Nursing Elites

1. What type of debridement involves proteolytic enzymes?

• A. Interventional C. Surgical
• B. Mechanical D. Chemical
• 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.

2. A nurse is teaching a group of adults about nutrition. The nurse should include which of the following amounts as an appropriate daily intake of fiber for adult women?

• A. 5 to 10 g
• B. 10 to 15 g
• C. 20 to 35 g
• D. 40 to 50 g

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 20 to 35 g. This range is the recommended daily intake of fiber for adult women. Fiber is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system and overall well-being. Option A (5 to 10 g) is too low and may not provide sufficient fiber intake. Option B (10 to 15 g) is also below the recommended range. Option D (40 to 50 g) is too high and can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and other complications if consumed in excess.

3. When carbohydrates are eliminated from the diet to lose weight, which nutrients are most likely to become insufficient?

• A. Iron, fiber, and protein
• B. Iron, fiber, and vitamin K
• C. Vitamin A and vitamin C
• D. Iron, fiber, and B vitamins

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Iron, fiber, and B vitamins are most likely to become insufficient when carbohydrates are eliminated from the diet to lose weight. Carbohydrates are a primary source of B vitamins and fiber in the diet. Iron can also be obtained from plant-based sources like legumes and whole grains, which are often eliminated when carbohydrates are restricted. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because protein, vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C are not primarily sourced from carbohydrates and are less likely to become insufficient solely due to carbohydrate elimination.

4. To prevent recurrent attacks on client with glomerulonephritis, the nurse instructs the client to:

• A. Take a shower instead of tub baths
• B. Avoid situations that involve physical activity
• C. Continue the same restriction on fluid intake
• D. Seek early treatment for respiratory infection

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.

5. The oral cavity is the site of a wide variety of systemic disease manifestations due to:

• A. Rapid cellular turnover
• B. Constant attack by microorganisms
• C. Trauma-intense environment
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The oral cavity is indeed the site of various systemic disease manifestations due to multiple factors. Firstly, the rapid cellular turnover in the oral mucosa makes it susceptible to diseases. Secondly, the constant presence of microorganisms in the oral cavity contributes to the development of systemic diseases. Finally, the oral cavity being a trauma-intense environment further increases the risk of systemic manifestations. Therefore, all the provided options - rapid cellular turnover, constant attack by microorganisms, and a trauma-intense environment - play a role in making the oral cavity a site for various systemic diseases. Hence, the correct answer is 'All of the above.' Choices A, B, and C are incorrect individually as they each represent only one aspect of why the oral cavity is prone to systemic disease manifestations, whereas the correct answer encompasses all these factors.
