Question 1 of 5
The family of a 6-year-old with a fractured femur asks the nurse if the child's height will be affected by the injury. Which statement is true concerning long bone fractures in children?

Question 2 of 5
The physician's order reads 'Administer 1 g cefazolin sodium (Ancef) in 150 ml of normal saline solution in 60 minutes.' What is the flow rate if the drop factor is 10 gtt = 1 ml?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flow rate = (150 ml × 10 gtt/ml) ÷ 60 min = 25 gtt/min.
Question 3 of 5
This is the distinctive individual qualities that differentiate a person to another
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Personality encompasses traits behavior, mood, talents that make individuals unique, a psychological concept distinct from philosophy (beliefs guiding life), charm (social appeal), or character (moral values). In nursing, personality influences patient interactions e.g., an empathetic nurse builds trust differently than a reserved one. This individuality, shaped by upbringing and experience, impacts care delivery, making it a key focus in understanding nurse-client dynamics.
Question 4 of 5
He described the development of faith. He suggested that faith is a spiritual dimension that gives meaning to a persons life. Faith according to him, is a relational phenomenon.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: James Fowler's faith development theory, from the 1980s, views faith as a spiritual, relational force giving life meaning e.g., a patient's trust in a nurse reflects this. Gilligan's care ethics, Westerhoff's behavioral faith, and Freud's psychology differ. Fowler's stages from intuitive to universalizing guide nurses in addressing spiritual needs, enhancing holistic care.
Question 5 of 5
Which is unlikely of Florence Nightingale?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nightingale was born 1820, not 1840 living to 90, she founded St. Thomas' School in 1860 (age 40), wrote ‘Notes on Nursing' (1859), and ‘Notes on Hospitals.' The 1840 birth is incorrect; her early life shaped her Crimean work (1850s), cementing her as nursing's founder.
