Which of the following provides that nurses must be a member of a national nurse organization?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The 1981 Philippine Nursing Code of Ethics, approved by delegates, mandates membership in a national organization (PNA) e.g., ensuring ethical accountability. R.A. 877 (old law), R.A. 7164 (1991 law), and PNA memos differ. This reflects nursing's collective responsibility, reinforcing professional unity and standards.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas, PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, marked a shift to local leadership e.g., post-American rule. Delgado (PNA president), Sotejo (educator), and Tupas differ. Her tenure elevated Filipino roles, influencing nursing's national identity and autonomy.

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: B

Rationale: Adult bladder capacity is 400-500 ml e.g., typical urge at 300-400. Less (50-200) or more (800-1000) don't fit. Nurses note e.g., catheter output for function, per physiology.
