Question 1 of 5
Who postulated the WHOLISTIC concept that the totality is greater than sum of its parts?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Martha Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings (1970s) posits humans as wholes beyond parts e.g., dignity persists post-trauma. Unlike Roy's adaptation, Henderson's needs, or Johnson's behavior, Rogers' wholistic view shapes nursing's focus on indivisible patient worth, influencing holistic care philosophies.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE about respiration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Normal respiration has a 1:2 inspiration-to-expiration ratio e.g., 1-second inhale, 2-second exhale due to passive expiration. Other ratios (2:1, 4:3, 1:1) don't match. Nurses observe this e.g., counting for baseline, per respiratory mechanics.
Question 3 of 5
The sequence in examining the quadrants of the abdomen is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Abdominal quadrants follow RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ e.g., liver, appendix, spleen, colon for flow. Other orders lack this. Nurses use e.g., pain for consistency, per practice.

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Healthy adults void every 2-3 hours e.g., 6-8 times daily per bladder capacity (400-500 ml). Less or more differ. Nurses assess e.g., frequency for function, per physiology.
Question 5 of 5
Cortisol is a hormone responsible for
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cortisol manages stress e.g., fight-flight via metabolism, unlike sugar (insulin), calcium (PTH). Nurses assess e.g., Cushing's for effects, per endocrine.
