1. Which vitamin is crucial for collagen synthesis and wound healing?

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen synthesis, a process important for wound healing. Collagen is a key protein that helps in wound repair and tissue strength. Vitamin D is primarily known for its role in calcium absorption and bone health, not directly related to collagen synthesis. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage but is not directly involved in collagen synthesis. Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting but does not play a major role in collagen synthesis for wound healing.

• A. I can withdraw with this research even after the research has been started
• B. My confidentiality will not be compromised in this research
• C. I must choose another doctor if I withdrew from this research
• D. I can withdraw with this research before the research has been started

3. The nurse is caring for an infant whose parent reports the infant takes a bottle to go to sleep. What should the nurse instruct to prevent baby bottle tooth decay?

• A. Water
• B. Milk
• C. Iron-fortified formula
• D. Unsweetened fruit juice

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A, Water. Water is recommended to prevent baby bottle tooth decay caused by sugary substances present in milk, formula, or fruit juice. Water does not contain sugars that can contribute to tooth decay, unlike the other options. Milk, formula, and unsweetened fruit juice can all lead to tooth decay if the baby falls asleep with them in their mouth, as the sugars can linger on the teeth and cause decay over time. Iron-fortified formula, although beneficial for the infant's nutrition, still contains sugars that can be harmful to the teeth.

4. The law which regulated the practice of nursing profession in the Philippines is:

• A. R.A 9173
• B. LOI 949
• C. Patient’s Bill of Rights
• D. Code of Ethics for Nurses

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. How is an ear infection that persists for less than 14 days classified?

• A. Mastoiditis
• B. Chronic Ear Infection
• C. Acute Ear Infection
• D. Otitis Media

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Acute Ear Infection is the correct answer because it typically refers to an infection that is short-lived and often severe, typically lasting less than 14 days. Chronic Ear Infection (Choice B) is incorrect as it refers to an ear infection that lasts for a long time or recurs often, typically more than three months. Mastoiditis (Choice A) is a complication of a middle ear infection and not an ear infection itself. Otitis Media (Choice D) is a general term for inflammation or infection in the middle ear, which can be either acute or chronic, so it's not specific enough to be the correct answer. Understanding the duration and severity of symptoms can help in identifying the type of ear infection, facilitating appropriate treatment and prevention of complications.
