Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the ERROR OF PARALLAX

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Parallax error occurs when eye level misaligns with the mercury meniscus e.g., higher eyes read lower (false low), lower eyes read higher. Eye-level accuracy is key. Nurses position e.g., at meniscus height for true BP, per measurement precision principles.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The Apprentice Period (6th-19th centuries) saw Christian orders like Sisters of Charity nurse the sick, driven by faith e.g., plague care. Unlike Dark (decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (schools), this era fused religious duty with caregiving, laying nursing's compassionate, service-oriented foundation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Assessment, the first nursing process step, collects data via interview (history), observation (vitals), and examination (physical) e.g., noting dyspnea. Planning sets goals, implementation acts, and evaluation reviews. This systematic approach, per Gordon's framework, drives accurate care, essential in clinical practice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Cleaning stem to bulb least to most contaminated e.g., away from anus tip follows asepsis. Bulb-to-stem spreads germs; others illogical. Nurses wipe this e.g., alcohol per infection control, preventing cross-contamination.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The right arm is preferred e.g., standard unless contraindicated (e.g., IVs). Contraptions (interference), left arm post-CVA (weakness), or left default don't apply. Nurses choose this e.g., routine for consistency, per guidelines.
