Five teaspoons is equivalent to how many milliliters (ml)?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: One teaspoon equals 5 ml, so 5 teaspoons is 25 ml.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Telemedicine uses technology for remote care (B), per definition e.g., virtual consults. Not in-person (A), not hospital-only (C), not all (D) distance-based. B truly defines telemedicine's reach, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Critical thinking directs assessment purposefully e.g., probing fatigue to link it to anemia ensuring data collection is focused and relevant. This active process analyzes, synthesizes, and prioritizes, enhancing care planning. Reviewing with providers follows assessment, not its direction. Determining care is planning/implementation, not assessment's role. Identifying responses fits evaluation, not initial data-gathering. Critical thinking's role in steering assessment ensures efficiency and depth, making it the key way nurses apply this cognitive skill in practice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In hypothyroidism, increasing intake of iodine-rich foods is beneficial as iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. This helps to support thyroid function in individuals with hypothyroidism. Therefore, advising the client to increase their intake of iodine-rich foods aligns with the recommended dietary management for hypothyroidism. Choice B is incorrect because decreasing iodine-rich foods could lead to further deficiency in individuals with hypothyroidism. Choice C is not directly related to hypothyroidism and lactose intolerance is a separate issue. Choice D is incorrect as increasing dairy products is not a specific recommendation for hypothyroidism unless the client has a deficiency of calcium or vitamin D, which should be assessed separately.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Non-selective beta-adrenergic blockers (e.g., propranolol) inhibit the sympathetic nervous system's effects on beta₁ (heart) and beta₂ (lungs, vessels) receptors. The mechanism sequence is: (1) Beta₁ and beta₂ receptor sites are blocked (C), (2) Epinephrine and norepinephrine actions are blocked (B), (3) Heart rate and blood pressure are decreased (A), (4) Cardiac workload and oxygen demand decreases (D). Blocking beta receptors (C) is the initial step, preventing catecholamines (B) from binding, which reduces heart rate and vasoconstriction (A), ultimately lowering myocardial oxygen demand (D). Incorrect sequencing, like starting with heart rate reduction, skips the pharmacological basis. The CSV requires one answer, so C is chosen as the foundational step. Rationale: Beta blockade directly inhibits receptor activation, a primary action taught in pharmacology education, leading to downstream effects critical for conditions like hypertension or angina, ensuring nurses understand the drug's systemic impact.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The medulla's respiratory center sets rhythm and depth e.g., 12-20 breaths/min via dorsal/ventral groups. Pons refines, carotid/aortic adjust via chemo input. Nurses assess this e.g., COPD for function, per neurophysiology.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A wellness nursing diagnosis best describes a clinical judgment of transitioning to a higher wellness level, focusing on enhancing health beyond mere absence of disease. Unlike pathology-based diagnoses, it identifies potential for growth like improving nutrition in a healthy client reflecting nursing's preventive role. Judging no pathology or more wellness than illness is narrower, missing the forward-looking aspect, while family strengths support interventions but aren't the diagnosis. This perspective encourages proactive care, aligning with wellness models to elevate client health.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Marie Jahoda, a 20th-century psychologist, defined a profession as an organized group applying specialized knowledge for the broader community's benefit, not just a specific subset. She emphasized altruism (serving others selflessly) and prioritizing work quality over rewards, traits nursing exemplifies through education and care standards. The idea that a profession serves only a specific group's interests contradicts her view professions like nursing aim for universal welfare, such as public health initiatives. This distinction often appears in licensure exams, highlighting nursing's societal role over narrow advocacy, aligning with its ethical and professional identity.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct statement the nurse should include in the teaching is to decrease the intake of dairy products. This is because reducing the intake of dairy products is beneficial in managing symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Dairy products can aggravate symptoms due to their lactose content, thus advising the client to decrease their consumption can help alleviate discomfort and promote better management of the condition.\nChoice A is incorrect because increasing high-fiber foods may worsen symptoms in some individuals with ulcerative colitis.\nChoice B is incorrect as while it is advised to avoid foods containing lactose, this alone does not encompass the full dietary management for ulcerative colitis.\nChoice D is incorrect as increasing the intake of dairy products can exacerbate symptoms in individuals with ulcerative colitis due to their lactose content.
