Question 3 of 9
The nurse calculates the amount of an antibiotic for injection to be given to an infant. The amount of medication to be administered is 1.25mL. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For an infant, 1.25mL exceeds the 0.5-1mL per-site limit for small muscles, so dividing it into two 0.625mL injections in each vastus lateralis ensures safe absorption without tissue damage. Dorsogluteal and ventrogluteal sites are risky or underdeveloped in infants. Nurses split doses this way, using preferred sites to minimize pain and optimize delivery, critical for pediatric dosing.
Question 4 of 9
What type of patient care model is the most common for student nurses and private duty nurses?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Total patient care assigns one nurse to all of a patient's needs e.g., a student nurse managing a single client's meds, hygiene, and monitoring. Common in training and private duty, it ensures focused, hands-on learning or personalized care, unlike team nursing (group tasks), primary nursing (24-hour oversight), or case management (coordination). Its simplicity suits educational and one-on-one settings, enhancing skill mastery.

Question 8 of 9
Which of the following foods are recommended for mania patients:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mania, a feature of bipolar disorder, involves hyperactivity and impulsivity, affecting eating habits. Finger foods (choice A) are portable, easy to eat, and suit restless patients who may not sit for meals, providing nutrition without utensils. Liquid foods (choice B) are less practical for high-energy states, better for sedation or dysphagia. Semi-solid foods (choice C) require more effort, while favourite foods (choice D) may encourage intake but aren't specific to mania's needs. A is correct, as finger foods match the patient's behavior, ensuring caloric intake amidst agitation. Nurses must offer such foods, monitor lithium levels if prescribed, and adapt care to mood swings, supporting nutritional stability.
Question 9 of 9
According to Roy, The person has 4 modes of adaptation EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Roy's Adaptation Model (1970s) includes physiologic (body), self-concept (identity), role function (social), and interdependence (relationships) e.g., adjusting diet, esteem, work, support. Subjective data (patient reports) isn't a mode, but a tool. Nurses use this framework e.g., holistic plans for adaptive care.
