Nokea
He was called the father of sanitation.
- A. Abraham
- B. Hippocrates
- C. Moses
- D. Willam Halstead
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Moses, in ancient Hebrew texts, set sanitation laws e.g., waste disposal, quarantine earning the 'father of sanitation' title. Abraham (patriarch), Hippocrates (medicine), and Halstead (surgery) differ. His Leviticus codes predate modern hygiene, influencing public health and nursing's infection control foundations.

A client has a Staphylococcus infection in a decubitus ulcer. In this case, Staphylococcus is the:
- A. Host
- B. Agent
- C. Environment
- D. Disease
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In the Agent-Host-Environment Model, Staphylococcus is the agent the causative factor triggering illness, here infecting a decubitus ulcer. The client is the host, whose skin integrity and immunity determine susceptibility. The environment bedridden conditions or hygiene sets the stage for infection. The disease is the resulting pathology, like the ulcer's worsening. This model dissects causation: Staphylococcus (bacteria) invades the host (client) in a conducive environment (immobility), driving nursing interventions cleaning wounds, repositioning to disrupt the triad. Understanding the agent's role guides targeted care, like antibiotics, breaking the infection cycle. It's a practical lens for nurses, pinpointing external triggers to prevent or manage illness effectively, especially in chronic wound scenarios.
Which of the following do not correctly correlates the increase BP of Ms. Aida, a 70 year old diabetic?
- A. Females, after the age 65 tends to have lower BP than males
- B. Disease process like Diabetes increase BP
- C. BP is highest in the morning, and lowest during the night
- D. Africans, have a greater risk of hypertension than Caucasian and Asians.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Females over 65 often have higher BP e.g., post-menopause than males, not lower, contradicting Aida's rise. Diabetes (vessel damage), morning peaks (circadian), and African risk (genetics) align. Nurses note this e.g., in elderly diabetics for accurate hypertension management.
Which of the following statement is NOT true about legal documentation?
- A. Supports care quality
- B. Legal evidence
- C. Can be altered anytime
- D. Must be accurate
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Legal documentation supports quality (A), is evidence (B), must be accurate (D) 'can be altered anytime' (C) isn't true, strict rules apply, per law. C's flexibility contradicts standards, like Mr. Gary's records, making it untrue.
The nurse and doctor jointly planned Mr. Gary's treatment. This is an example of?
- A. Collaboration
- B. Professionalism
- C. Health literacy
- D. Care transition
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Joint planning with doctor is collaboration (A) working together, per definition. Professionalism (B) standards, literacy (C) understanding, transition (D) moves not joint-specific. A fits teamwork, making it correct.
The nurse is caring for a client with a closed reduction of a fractured femur. Following the reduction, the nurse should check the client's affected extremity every 15-30 minutes for:
- A. Warmth and redness
- B. Color and pulses
- C. Pain and swelling
- D. Alignment and position
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Checking color and pulses every 15-30 minutes post-reduction detects circulatory compromise in a fractured femur warmth, pain, or alignment are secondary. Nurses assess distal perfusion, reporting pallor or pulselessness, preventing complications like ischemia in orthopedic care.
