1. Which food provides a 1-ounce serving of grains for a preschool child?

• A. 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes
• B. 1⁄2 slice of whole wheat bread
• C. 1⁄2 of a 6-inch flour tortilla
• D. 1 cup of cooked rice

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes. For a preschool child, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal flakes provides a 1-ounce serving of grains, meeting the requirement. Choice B, 1⁄2 slice of whole wheat bread, is not the correct answer as it does not constitute a 1-ounce serving of grains. Similarly, choice C, 1⁄2 of a 6-inch flour tortilla, does not offer a 1-ounce serving of grains. Choice D, 1 cup of cooked rice, also does not provide a 1-ounce serving of grains for a preschool child, making it an incorrect choice.

2. Which of the following best describes Primary Nursing?

• A. Assigning a nurse to lead a team of registered nurses in the care of a patient from admission to discharge
• B. Assigning a nurse to perform administrative tasks in a healthcare setting
• C. Assigning a nurse to provide medical treatment without supervision
• D. Assigning a nurse to be the main caregiver responsible for coordinating all aspects of care for a group of patients

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Primary Nursing involves assigning a dedicated nurse to lead a team of registered nurses in the care of a patient from admission to discharge. This approach ensures continuity and personalized care. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe Primary Nursing. Choice D is incorrect as it refers to a different care delivery model.

3. Which of the four phases of emergency management is defined as 'sustained action that reduces or eliminates long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects'?

• A. Recovery
• B. Mitigation
• C. Response
• D. Preparedness

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, 'Mitigation.' Mitigation is the phase of emergency management that focuses on sustained actions aimed at reducing or eliminating long-term risks to people and property from natural hazards. Recovery (A) involves restoring and rebuilding infrastructure, housing, and services after a disaster. Response (C) deals with immediate actions taken to save lives and prevent further damage during a disaster. Preparedness (D) involves planning, training, and equipping organizations and communities to effectively respond to emergencies.

4. The recommended daily fluid intake of patients maintained using hemodialysis is:

• A. 150 mL plus the volume of urinary output
• B. 500 mL plus the volume of urinary output
• C. 1000 mL plus the volume of urinary output
• D. 1500 mL plus the volume of urinary output

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 1000 mL plus the volume of urinary output. Fluid intake is typically restricted in hemodialysis patients to prevent fluid overload. The recommended daily fluid intake for these patients is 1000 mL plus any urinary output. Choice A (150 mL plus the volume of urinary output) is too low and would not provide enough fluid for these patients. Choice B (500 mL plus the volume of urinary output) is also insufficient. Choice D (1500 mL plus the volume of urinary output) is too high and may lead to fluid overload in hemodialysis patients.

5. The most common causative agent of Pyelonephritis in hospitalized patient attributed to prolonged catheterization is said to be:

• A. E. Coli C. Pseudomonas
• B. Klebsiella D. Staphylococcus
• 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.
