He was called the father of sanitation.

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: 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.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Total patient care excels with many nurses and few patients, allowing each nurse to fully address one client's needs e.g., bathing, meds, education. Functional nursing assigns tasks (e.g., one nurse for vitals), team nursing divides labor, and primary nursing focuses continuity, but ample staffing makes total care ideal. For instance, a nurse can devote time to a single ICU patient, optimizing outcomes. This model leverages resources for intensive, individualized attention, enhancing care quality in such scenarios.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Ancient Chinese dressed male infants in girls' clothes to confuse demons e.g., during infancy rites believing males drew evil. Unlike Egyptian, Indian, or Babylonian customs, this reflects spiritual protection, offering insight into cultural health beliefs relevant to nursing's cultural competence.
