Question 1

Which layer of the skin contains the sebaceous glands and hair follicles?

Accepted Answer

Dermis

Answer

The dermis is the second layer of skin and contains sebaceous (oil) glands, hair follicles, sweat glands, nerves, and blood vessels. It provides structural support and nourishment to the skin.

Question 2

A nurse observes that a patient's urine is dark amber in color. This finding is most consistent with:

Accepted Answer

Dehydration

Answer

Dark amber urine indicates concentrated urine, which is a classic sign of dehydration. When fluid intake is insufficient, the kidneys conserve water by producing more concentrated urine.

Question 3

The nurse is preparing to insert a urinary catheter in a female patient. In what order should anatomical structures be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Labia majora, labia minora, urethral meatus

Answer

Perineal cleaning for catheter insertion follows an outward-to-inward, clean-to-less-clean principle — outer to inner. Clean from outer (labia majora) inward to the meatus to prevent introducing microorganisms into the urethra.

Question 4

Which of the following actions best demonstrates critical thinking in nursing?

Accepted Answer

Analyzing patient data to anticipate complications before they occur

Answer

Critical thinking in nursing involves analyzing information, anticipating problems, evaluating evidence, and making sound clinical judgments. Proactive identification of complications demonstrates advanced clinical reasoning.

Question 5

A nurse is documenting patient care. Which entry is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Patient states 'I have pain in my left knee.' Pain rated 6/10. Ice pack applied.

Answer

Good nursing documentation uses objective, specific language, includes direct patient quotes, and describes exactly what was done. Vague entries like 'treated accordingly' do not meet documentation standards.
