1. Which foods increase iron absorption when consumed with nonheme iron? (SATA)
- A. Kiwi
- B. Strawberries
- C. Coffee
- D. A, B
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Kiwi and strawberries are high in vitamin C, which increases iron absorption.
2. What is the most likely complication for a client receiving TPN who suddenly develops tremors, dizziness, and diaphoresis?
- A. Fluid volume overload
- B. Sepsis
- C. Hyperglycemia
- D. Hypoglycemia
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Hypoglycemia. When a client receiving TPN suddenly develops tremors, dizziness, and diaphoresis, it is indicative of hypoglycemia. TPN provides a high concentration of glucose, and if it is abruptly stopped or the infusion rate is reduced, it can lead to hypoglycemia. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not directly correlate with the symptoms described in the scenario. Fluid volume overload typically presents with edema and hypertension, sepsis with fever and increased heart rate, and hyperglycemia with polyuria, polydipsia, and blurred vision.
3. To prevent baby bottle tooth decay, what should the nurse instruct?
- A. Water
- B. Milk
- C. Iron-fortified formula
- D. Unsweetened fruit juice
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Water. Water is the best choice to prevent baby bottle tooth decay as it does not cause tooth decay and is a good option for bedtime bottles. Milk (choice B) and iron-fortified formula (choice C) contain sugars that can contribute to tooth decay. Unsweetened fruit juice (choice D) also contains natural sugars that can be harmful to the baby's teeth.
4. Fires are approached using the mnemonic RACE, in which, R stands for:
- A. Run
- B. Race
- C. Rescue
- D. Remove
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.
5. In the US, low iron intake is often associated with?
- A. low intake of fruits and vegetables
- B. pregnancy
- C. high sugar and fat intakes
- D. high protein intake
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Diets high in sugar and fat often lack essential nutrients like iron, leading to a risk of iron deficiency anemia, especially when iron-rich foods are not consumed adequately.
