1. Which type of anemia is associated with chronic kidney disease?

• A. Iron-deficiency anemia
• B. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia
• C. Aplastic anemia
• D. Erythropoietin deficiency anemia

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Erythropoietin deficiency anemia. Chronic kidney disease often leads to anemia due to decreased production of erythropoietin. This hormone, produced by the kidneys, stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Iron-deficiency anemia is characterized by low iron levels, vitamin B12 deficiency anemia by inadequate vitamin B12, and aplastic anemia by bone marrow failure.

2. Which hospital level is a 296-bed facility that is staffed and equipped to provide care for all categories of patients?

• A. FSB
• B. CSH
• C. GH
• D. FH

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is "GH" (General Hospital), which is a 296-bed facility providing comprehensive care for all categories of patients. Choice A, FSB, is incorrect as it does not denote a hospital level. Choice B, CSH, is incorrect as it does not specify a 296-bed facility. Choice D, FH, is incorrect as it does not indicate a hospital level or capacity.

3. Which discharge instruction should the nurse provide to the client diagnosed with varicose veins who has received sclerotherapy?

• A. Walk 15 to 20 minutes three (3) times a day.
• B. Keep the legs in the dependent position when sitting.
• C. Remove compression bandages before going to bed.
• D. Perform Berger-Allen exercises (4) times a day.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to walk 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. Walking helps improve circulation and reduces the risk of complications following sclerotherapy. Choice B, keeping the legs in the dependent position when sitting, is incorrect as it can increase venous pressure. Choice C, removing compression bandages before going to bed, is incorrect as compression should be maintained as per healthcare provider's instructions. Choice D, performing Berger-Allen exercises four times a day, is incorrect as these exercises may not be specifically recommended post-sclerotherapy.

4. Listed below are five categories that identify the responsibilities of the practical nurse manager in personnel management. Which of these categories is most appropriate for the task 'Conduct physical training'?

• A. Accountability
• B. Personal/professional development
• C. Individual training
• D. Military appearance/physical condition

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Military appearance/physical condition.' The task 'Conduct physical training' aligns with the category of 'Military appearance/physical condition,' as it involves overseeing physical training activities related to maintaining a certain physical standard. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because 'Accountability' pertains to being answerable for one's actions, 'Personal/professional development' focuses on individual growth and learning, and 'Individual training' is specific to training on a personal level, none of which directly relate to the task of conducting physical training in the context of military appearance and physical condition.

5. Listed below are five categories that identify the responsibilities of the practical nurse manager in personnel management. Which of these categories is most appropriate for the task 'Ensure that personnel are utilized in their designated roles'?

• A. Accountability
• B. Personal/professional development
• C. Individual training
• D. Military appearance/physical condition

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Accountability'. Accountability in personnel management ensures that individuals are utilized in their designated roles, such as ensuring that soldiers are utilized in their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). This category focuses on ensuring that personnel are assigned and performing their duties as required. The other choices, personal/professional development, individual training, and military appearance/physical condition, do not directly relate to the specific task of ensuring individuals are utilized in their designated roles.
