A staff nurse who is promoted to assistant nurse manager may feel uncomfortable initially when supervising her former peers. She can best decrease this discomfort by:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Evaluating and discussing changes eases transition and builds trust.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Moses, in ancient Hebrew texts, introduced sanitation laws e.g., waste disposal, quarantine earning the ‘father of sanitation' title. Abraham (patriarch), Hippocrates (medicine), and Halstead (surgery) differ. His rules, like Leviticus' hygiene codes, predate modern sanitation, influencing public health and nursing's infection control roots.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The 1981 Philippine Nursing Code of Ethics, approved by delegates, mandates membership in a national organization (PNA) e.g., ensuring ethical accountability. R.A. 877 (old law), R.A. 7164 (1991 law), and PNA memos differ. This reflects nursing's collective responsibility, reinforcing professional unity and standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Oral temperature is most accessible e.g., quick placement under tongue requiring minimal prep, unlike rectal (invasive), tympanic (equipment), or axillary (longer). Convenient for alert patients, it's standard in clinics, per nursing practice, balancing ease and reliability for routine monitoring.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A narrow cuff e.g., under-sized overcompresses, yielding a false high BP e.g., 140/90 vs. true 120/80. True readings need proper fit; wide cuffs may lower falsely. Nurses select cuffs e.g., per arm size for accuracy, per measurement standards.
