Question 1 of 5
After a myocardial infarction, a client is placed on a sodium restricted diet. When the nurse is teaching the client about the diet, which meal plan would be the most appropriate to suggest?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Turkey, fresh sweet potato, and green beans are low in sodium, suitable for the diet.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is NOT an attribute of a professional?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Professionalism in nursing demands self-direction (autonomous decision-making), a spirit of inquiry (research-driven practice), and independence (accountability), traits ensuring quality care. Concern with quantity focusing on output over excellence clashes with this. Nurses prioritize quality, using tools like audits to assess effectiveness (e.g., patient recovery rates), not just the number of tasks completed. This aligns with Jahoda's definition and nursing's ethical code, where patient outcomes trump volume, a principle reinforced in practice standards and education.
Question 3 of 5
According to them, Morality is measured of how people treat human being and that a moral child strives to be kind and just
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Schulman and Mekler's moral theory, from the 20th century, measures morality by intent and just acts e.g., Robin Hood's good intent but unjust theft is immoral. Unlike Zderad's humanism, Benner's expertise, or Fowler's faith, they emphasize kindness and fairness, guiding nurses in ethical patient treatment, like ensuring equitable care.
Question 4 of 5
This is the essence of mental health
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy (1940s) crowns self-actualization realizing potential as mental health's essence e.g., a nurse finding purpose in caregiving. Self-awareness (base level), esteem (confidence), and worth (value) build toward it. Nursing promotes this peak, aiding patients in meaningful recovery, aligning with psychological well-being goals.
Question 5 of 5
John has a fever of 38.5 Deg. Celsius. It surges at around 40 Degrees and go back to 38.5 degrees 6 times today in a typical pattern. What kind of fever is John having?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Remittent fever fluctuates above normal (e.g., 38.5-40°C) without returning to baseline common in infections like typhoid. Relapsing (normal intervals), intermittent (spikes to normal), and constant (stable high) differ. Nurses track this pattern e.g., six daily swings for diagnosis and treatment, per fever classification.
