Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'after the meal.' In medical terminology, 'pc' is an abbreviation for 'post cibum,' which means 'after eating' or 'after the meal.' This term is used to indicate when a medication should be taken concerning meals.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Before the meal' (
A) is typically abbreviated as 'ac,' 'with the meal' (
B) is abbreviated as 'pc,' and 'post corpi' (
D) is not a valid medical abbreviation or term.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Psychosocial.' Retirement, grandparenting, and increased dependence on others are examples of psychosocial changes because they involve social interactions, relationships, and psychological aspects. 'Moral' (
Choice
A) does not directly relate to the changes mentioned. 'Self-esteem' (
Choice
C) is more about self-perception and confidence, not the social changes mentioned. 'Psychomotor' (
Choice
D) refers to physical movements and skills, which are not the focus of the changes described in the question.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The suffix '-globin' in the term 'Hemoglobin' specifically refers to a protein. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Choice B, 'Iron,' is incorrect as iron is a mineral component of hemoglobin but not the meaning of the suffix.
Choice C, 'Metal,' is too broad and not specific to the meaning of the suffix in this context.
Choice D, 'Blood,' is incorrect as it refers to the overall term 'Hemoglobin' rather than the specific meaning of the suffix '-globin.'
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 'Protein.'

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct outcome for the patient with impaired social interaction related to sociocultural dissonance is to select and participate in one group activity per day. This outcome focuses on increasing social involvement, which aligns with addressing the nursing diagnosis. The patient has already expressed a desire to interact with others, so the goal is to facilitate actual participation in social activities. Becoming more independent in decision-making and demonstrating improved social skills are not directly related to the specific nursing diagnosis provided. Additionally, the outcomes must be measurable, making choices A and C less appropriate as they lack specificity and measurability.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, located immediately after the stomach. It is where the majority of digestion takes place in the gut. The pancreas delivers digestive juices containing amylase and lipase, while the gall bladder delivers bile to aid in the digestion of fats.
Choice A incorrectly states that the duodenum is the third section of the small intestine, which is inaccurate.
Choice B incorrectly associates the duodenum with the gall bladder, which is not where the duodenum is located.
Choice C incorrectly states that the duodenum is where the pancreas delivers digestive juices, which is partly correct but not the main function of the duodenum.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of the above' as none of the choices accurately describe the location or functions of the duodenum.
