    The nurse administers medications by various routes of delivery. The nurse recognizes which route of administration as requiring higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect?

    • Intravenous Route

    • Rectal route

    • Oral route

    • Sublingual route

    Correct Answer
    A. Oral route
    Explanation
    The oral route of administration requires higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect compared to other routes. This is because the drugs taken orally have to pass through the gastrointestinal system, where they may undergo metabolism and be partially absorbed or eliminated before reaching the bloodstream. Therefore, a higher dosage is needed to compensate for the potential loss of drug efficacy during this process.

    A mother who brings her child to the RHU on a Wednesday for immunization shots is performing health under this level of prevention:

    • Primary

    • Secondary

    • Tertiary

    • Health promotion

    Correct Answer
    A. Primary
    Explanation
    The mother bringing her child to the RHU on a Wednesday for immunization shots is performing health under the primary level of prevention. Primary prevention focuses on preventing the occurrence of a disease or injury before it happens. In this case, the mother is taking proactive measures to protect her child from potential diseases by getting them vaccinated. This helps to build the child's immunity and prevent the onset of various illnesses, promoting their overall health and well-being.

    The patient is experiencing chest pain and need to take sublingual form of nitroglycerin. Where does the nurse instruct the patient to place the tablet?

    • Under the tongue

    • On top of the tongue

    • At the back of the throat

    • In the space between the cheek and the gum

    Correct Answer
    A. Under the tongue
    Explanation
    The nurse instructs the patient to place the sublingual nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue. This is because sublingual administration involves placing medication under the tongue, where it can dissolve and be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Placing the tablet on top of the tongue, at the back of the throat, or in the space between the cheek and the gum would not allow for proper absorption of the medication.

    Correct Answer
    A. Primary
    Explanation
    This scenario falls under the level of prevention known as primary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent the occurrence of a disease or health condition before it occurs by promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles. In this case, the man is taking vitamin supplements daily and getting enough sleep, which are both proactive measures to maintain good health and prevent the onset of any potential health issues.

    The following are elements  in the metaparadigm of nursing except:

    • Environment

    • Health care delivery system

    • Client

    • Nursing

    Correct Answer
    A. Health care delivery system
    Explanation
    The metaparadigm of nursing consists of four key elements: environment, health, client, and nursing. These elements provide a framework for understanding and practicing nursing. Health care delivery system, on the other hand, refers to the organization and management of health care services, which is not considered a fundamental element of the nursing metaparadigm. Therefore, health care delivery system is the correct answer as it is not part of the metaparadigm of nursing.

    The person in "power" in the therapeutic relationship between clients and nurse, and therefore establishes and maintains the relationship:

    • Client

    • Nurse

    • Physician

    • Family

    Correct Answer
    A. Nurse
    Explanation
    In the therapeutic relationship between clients and nurse, the nurse is the person in "power" who establishes and maintains the relationship. This is because the nurse is responsible for providing care, support, and guidance to the client. They have the knowledge, skills, and authority to make decisions and take actions that promote the client's well-being. The nurse acts as a advocate for the client, ensuring their needs are met and their rights are respected. They create a safe and trusting environment, where the client feels comfortable to express their concerns and seek help. The nurse plays a crucial role in facilitating the therapeutic process and promoting the client's overall health and healing.

    • Primary and secondary care

    • Primary and tertiary care

    • Secondary and Tertiary care

    • Diagnostic and care of Hospitals

    Correct Answer
    A. Secondary and Tertiary care
    Explanation
    Secondary and tertiary care are the correct answers because diagnostic and treatment services are typically provided in these levels of care. Primary care focuses on preventive care and the initial management of common illnesses and injuries, while secondary care involves specialized medical services provided by medical specialists and hospitals. Tertiary care refers to highly specialized and complex medical services provided by specialized hospitals or medical centers. Therefore, secondary and tertiary care are the most appropriate options for diagnostic and treatment services in the healthcare system.

    The nurse administers medications by various routes of delivery. The nurse recognizes which route of administration as requiring higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect?

    • Intravenous route

    • Oral route

    • Rectal route

    • Sublingual route

    Correct Answer
    A. Oral route
    Explanation
    The oral route of administration requires higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect. This is because the drugs taken orally have to pass through the digestive system, where they may undergo metabolism and degradation before being absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, a higher dosage is needed to compensate for the potential loss of drug efficacy during the absorption process. In contrast, drugs administered intravenously, rectally, or sublingually bypass the digestive system and are directly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a more immediate and efficient drug delivery.

    All of the following are appropriate actions by the nurse to facilitate therapeutic communication with the client except:

    • Set limits, use unconditional positive regard, no false reassurance

    • Client-centered, offer support, don't ask why, and avoid nurse-centered responses

    • Recognize the patients feelings, build rapport with the patient and his family, and establish trust

    • Focus on patients feelings, encouragement and false reassurance, be non-judgmental

    Correct Answer
    A. Focus on patients feelings, encouragement and false reassurance, be non-judgmental
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Focus on patients feelings, encouragement and false reassurance, be non-judgmental". This answer is incorrect because it suggests using false reassurance, which is not an appropriate action in therapeutic communication. False reassurance can invalidate the client's feelings and minimize their concerns, hindering the development of trust and open communication. In therapeutic communication, it is important to focus on the patient's feelings, provide encouragement, and be non-judgmental, but without using false reassurance.
