1. Which of the following is a form of primary prevention?

• A. Regular Check-ups
• B. Regular Screening
• C. Self-Medication
• D. Immunization

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Immunization.' Primary prevention aims to prevent disease before it occurs by preventing exposure to risk factors. Immunization is a classic example of primary prevention as it helps prevent the development of infectious diseases. Choice A, 'Regular Check-ups,' is more related to secondary prevention by detecting diseases early. Choice B, 'Regular Screening,' is also more aligned with secondary prevention as it involves early detection of diseases. Choice C, 'Self-Medication,' is not a form of primary prevention but rather a risky practice that can lead to adverse outcomes.

2. What is the process of formal negotiations of working conditions between a group of registered nurses and employer?

• A. grievance
• B. arbitration
• C. collective bargaining
• D. strike

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'collective bargaining.' Collective bargaining involves negotiations between a group of employees, in this case, registered nurses, and their employer to determine working conditions, wages, benefits, and other aspects of employment. Grievance refers to a formal complaint about a workplace issue, arbitration involves a neutral third party making a decision in a dispute, and a strike is a work stoppage by employees to protest against their employer.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Cranberry juice is an appropriate choice for a client transitioning from a clear liquid diet to full liquids post abdominal surgery. It provides hydration and some essential nutrients.

Skim milk and chicken broth are typically introduced in a later stage of the diet progression, closer to a soft diet, due to their higher protein and fat content.
