A nurse is planning a diet for a client who is iron deficient. Which of the following foods high in iron should the nurse include in the plan?
- A. Yogurt
- B. Leafy green vegetables
- C. Oranges
- D. Cashews
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Iron deficiency craves heme leafy greens like spinach pack non-heme iron, boosting hemoglobin, a diet fix over dairy's low yield. Oranges aid absorption, not iron itself; cashews offer some, less potently. Nurses plan greens, pairing with vitamin C, a practical lift for this anemic client's blood.

During his internship at a general practice, a medical student is asked to check the blood glucose level in a 30-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes. Acute glycaemic dysregulation is suspected in this patient. The patient asks if the student is going to take a capillary blood sample as shown in the picture below. Which of the following statements applies best in case of suspected acute dysregulation?
- A. The result will equal that of a finger prick sample
- B. The result will be higher than that of a finger prick sample
- C. The result will be lower than that of a finger prick sample
- D. One must not draw blood from this site in this case
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acute type 1 chaos no arm vein draw, finger prick's king for fast reads, not this site. Nurses skip this, a chronic crisis dodge.
According to the theory of planned behaviour, what is the best predictor of behaviour?
- A. Attitude
- B. Habit
- C. Intention
- D. Social norm
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Planned behaviour intention rules, not just liking, routine, or peer push. Nurses bet on this, a chronic action cue.
Which of the following is FALSE about reduced ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF)?
- A. The goals of therapy are to reduce morbidity (i.e., reducing symptoms, improving health-related quality of life and functional status, decreasing the rate of hospitalisation) and to reduce mortality
- B. Beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) are the preferred antihypertensive agents because these agents improve survival
- C. Recommended lifestyle modifications include smoking cessation, restriction of alcohol consumption, salt restriction, weight reduction in obese patients, as well as daily weight monitoring to detect fluid accumulation before it becomes symptomatic
- D. Patients at high risk for re-hospitalisation should be referred to a long-term care facility
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: HFrEF goals, preferred drugs (beta blockers, ACEi, ARBs, ARNI, MRA), and lifestyle changes are true, per ESC/ACC guidelines. However, high re-hospitalization risk doesn't mandate long-term care referral outpatient management or cardiac rehab is preferred unless dependency justifies it. This false claim refines chronic HFrEF management focus.
Which organism can not be detected by antigen testing of CSF, serum or urine?
- A. cryptococcus neoformans
- B. TB
- C. Ecoli
- D. Hemophilus
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: TB hides from antigen tests slow grower, no quick CSF, serum, or urine markers like cryptococcus' capsular catch, E. coli's bits, Haemophilus' caps, or Group B strep's flags. Nurses lean on culture or PCR here, a chronic stealth bug dodging rapid nets.
A patient receiving head and neck radiation for larynx cancer has ulcerations over the oral mucosa and tongue and thick, ropey saliva. Which instructions should the nurse give to this patient?
- A. Remove food debris from the teeth and oral mucosa with a stiff toothbrush.
- B. Use cotton-tipped applicators dipped in hydrogen peroxide to clean the teeth.
- C. Gargle and rinse the mouth several times a day with an antiseptic mouthwash.
- D. Rinse the mouth before and after each meal and at bedtime with a saline solution.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Head and neck radiation trashes the mouth ulcers and ropey saliva need saline rinses to clean gently, easing pain without wrecking tissue. Stiff brushes shred mucosa; peroxide burns it; antiseptic washes sting and dry. Nurses in oncology teach this saline's soothing, safe, and fights infection risk in a radiated, vulnerable mouth.
