Nursing Elites

1. What is the most appropriate instruction to provide to the parent of a child who does not like a food item?

• A. The child should not be encouraged to try it again.
• B. The child should be offered a reward if they eat most of the food items.
• C. The child should be offered the item at least 8 times on different occasions.
• D. The child should be encouraged to eat at least 5 bites of the food item.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Encouraging repeated exposure to the food item can help the child develop a taste for it. Option A is incorrect as it suggests avoiding encouraging the child to try the food again, which may hinder their ability to develop a liking for it. Option B is incorrect as using rewards for eating may not promote a genuine interest in the food item. Option D is incorrect because setting a specific number of bites may create pressure and negativity around mealtime, rather than fostering a positive association with the food.

2. Which of the following is NOT a part of a process recording?

• A. Non-verbal narrative account
• B. Analysis and interpretation
• C. Audio-visual recording
• D. Verbal narrative account

Correct answer: C

Rationale: A process recording typically includes a non-verbal narrative account (Choice A), an analysis and interpretation (Choice B), and a verbal narrative account (Choice D). These components help in providing a comprehensive assessment of a patient's condition and ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted for optimized outcomes. An audio-visual recording (Choice C), while it can be a part of some data collection processes, is not typically included in a process recording, making it the correct answer.

3. Which vitamin is primarily obtained from sunlight exposure?

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin C
• C. Vitamin D
• D. Vitamin E

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is Vitamin D. Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. This process allows the body to produce Vitamin D naturally. Vitamin A (Choice A) is found in foods like liver and carrots and is not primarily obtained from sunlight. Vitamin C (Choice B) is commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Vitamin E (Choice D) is present in foods like nuts and seeds and is not primarily obtained from sunlight.

4. Which hormone is produced in fat tissue and helps regulate body fat by suppressing appetite?

• A. glucagon
• B. ghrelin
• C. leptin
• D. insulin

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, leptin. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate energy balance by suppressing hunger, thus aiding in the regulation of body fat. Glucagon (choice A) is a hormone that raises blood glucose levels, ghrelin (choice B) stimulates appetite, and insulin (choice D) regulates blood sugar levels and promotes glucose uptake.
