Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Corticosteroids, commonly used in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, can cause various side effects. One of the common side effects of corticosteroids is a loss of appetite. Patients receiving corticosteroid therapy may experience a decreased desire to eat, leading to reduced food intake. Monitoring for changes in appetite is important as a decrease in food intake can impact overall nutrition and may affect the patient's response to treatment. It is essential for the nurse to watch for this side effect to address any potential nutritional concerns and collaborate with the healthcare team to optimize the patient's care.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The nurse's appropriate response is to provide the requested information clearly and directly. In this case, the client asked for the time, so the best response is to say "It is 10 o'clock" to answer their question promptly. Options A, C, and D do not address the client's question and may be perceived as dismissive or unhelpful.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this situation, the principle of justice is being observed by the supervisor, Ms. Cruz. Justice in healthcare ethics involves fairness and equality in the distribution of resources, including the allocation of staff to provide care. By prioritizing the allocation of nurses to the PRIORITY wards to ensure that essential care is delivered despite the shortage caused by the Jeepney strike, Ms. Cruz is upholding the principle of justice by ensuring that each patient receives equal and fair access to healthcare services. This decision aligns with the ethical responsibility to provide care in a just and fair manner.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The parotid gland is the salivary gland that is located superior and anterior to the ear. It mainly produces serous saliva, which is a thin, watery fluid rich in enzymes. The other salivary glands mentioned are the sublingual gland, submandibular gland, and submaxillary gland, all of which have different locations and produce different types of saliva.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Providing education on techniques to enhance milk production and supply should be prioritized to address the client's concerns about milk supply and meeting the baby's nutritional needs. By educating the client on proper breastfeeding techniques, frequent nursing sessions, skin-to-skin contact, and the importance of staying hydrated, the nurse can help promote successful breastfeeding and potentially increase milk production. Supplemental formula feedings are not the first line of intervention, as breastfeeding should be encouraged, especially for a preterm infant who may benefit significantly from breast milk. Encouraging the client to avoid breastfeeding until the infant reaches full term is not appropriate, as breastfeeding can still be beneficial for a preterm infant. Referring the client to a dietitian for specialized nutritional support may be beneficial, but addressing milk supply concerns through education should be prioritized initially to support breastfeeding success.
