Who was the first president of the PNA?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rosario Delgado, PNA's first president in 1922, led its founding e.g., pushing licensure exams. Giron-Tupas (founder), Sotejo (educator), and Tupas differ. Her role established nursing's professional voice in the Philippines, a foundational step in its organizational history.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Axillary temp is safest, least invasive no mucosal entry e.g., armpit avoids rectal (perforation), oral (biting), or tympanic (ear) risks. Ideal for infants, nurses use it e.g., frail patients for safety, per non-invasive guidelines.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Diastolic pressure is when ventricles rest e.g., 80 in 120/80 showing resistance. Systole (contraction), preload (filling), pulse pressure (difference) differ. Nurses measure this e.g., hypertension for health, per BP definitions.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: HCT 70% e.g., polycythemia can raise BP (viscosity) or lower (poor flow), unlike hypervolemia (raises BP, GFR), or epinephrine (raises). Nurses assess this e.g., anemia for impacts, per dynamics.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Clinitest detects sugar e.g., glucose in diabetes via tablet reaction, unlike acetic (protein), PKU tests (phenylketones), or bilirubin assays. Nurses use e.g., bedside for quick checks, per diagnostics.
