Question 1 of 5
Who should not be targeted in nutrition education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Young children. Nutrition education should not target young children because they are not responsible for making their own food choices. Educating children directly may not be as effective as targeting parents or caregivers who are responsible for providing nutritious meals. Food handlers, food service people, and mothers are appropriate targets for nutrition education as they play direct roles in food preparation and decision-making. It is important to prioritize education for those who have the most influence on food choices in order to promote healthy eating habits effectively.
Question 2 of 5
What action indicates the client needs more practice in combining two insulins?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Choice C is correct because instilling intermediate-acting insulin into the vial of short-acting insulin is incorrect practice as it can lead to incorrect dosing and timing. The client should not mix different types of insulin in the same vial. Incorrect Choices: A: Rolling the vial to mix intermediate-acting insulin is a correct technique. B: Instilling air into insulin vials is incorrect but not related to combining insulins. D: Inverting vials before withdrawing insulin is a common practice and not indicative of issues in combining insulins.
Question 3 of 5
You have read from the chart that a blood transfusion was prescribed to Gella, a patient with aplastic anemia. Which of the following actions should you do FIRST?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Look for signed informed consent. This is the first step because before any medical procedure, including blood transfusion, it is essential to ensure that the patient has given informed consent. This protects the patient's autonomy and ensures they are aware of the risks and benefits. Checking patient vital signs (A) can be done after obtaining consent. Ordering blood (B) and obtaining administration tubing (C) are important but should come after confirming consent.
Question 4 of 5
When preparing the epinephrine injection from an ampule, Nurse Andrae initially:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because tapping the ampule at the top helps ensure that all the medication flows to the base, making it easier to withdraw the correct dose. Tapping prevents medication from getting stuck at the top. Checking the expiration date (B) is important but not the initial step. Removing the needle cap and expelling air (C) is done after drawing up the medication. Breaking the ampule neck (D) is the final step after ensuring the medication is properly prepared.
Question 5 of 5
A physician’s order reads Potassium chloride (KCl) 30mEq to be added to 1L ml normal saline and to be given over 10-hour period. The available potassium chloride is 40mEq per 20ml. Nurse Corazon should prepare how many milliliters of Potassium Chloride to administer the correct dose of medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the correct amount of Potassium Chloride needed, we first find the total amount needed in 1L of normal saline: 30mEq. Then, we determine the concentration of KCl solution: 40mEq in 20ml. Next, we set up a proportion to find how many milliliters of KCl are needed to provide 30mEq. By cross-multiplying and solving, we find that 15ml of KCl is required. Therefore, choice A (15ml) is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated amount needed based on the given information.
