1. Which of the following are considered components of the
nursing process?
A. Assessment
B. Diagnosis
C. Planning
D. Implementation
E. Evaluation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D, E
Rationale: The nursing process is a systematic method used to
plan and provide individualized care, consisting of assessment,
diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
2. Which vital signs are routinely monitored in adults?
A. Temperature
B. Heart rate
C. Blood pressure
D. Respiratory rate
E. Oxygen saturation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D, E
Rationale: Monitoring vital signs provides critical information
,about a patient’s physiological status and helps detect early
signs of deterioration.
3. What are standard precautions in infection control?
A. Hand hygiene
B. Wearing gloves
C. Mask use when necessary
D. Safe handling of sharps
E. Isolation of all patients
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Rationale: Standard precautions aim to prevent transmission of
infections. Not all patients need isolation; isolation is based on
specific infection risks.
4. Which nursing interventions promote skin integrity in
bedridden patients?
A. Frequent repositioning
B. Using pressure-relieving mattresses
C. Maintaining skin hygiene
D. Encouraging mobility
E. Applying adhesive tapes on intact skin
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Rationale: Prevention of pressure injuries involves
repositioning, pressure relief, hygiene, and mobility; adhesive
tapes can damage intact skin.
,5. Which of the following are signs of dehydration in adults?
A. Dry mucous membranes
B. Reduced urine output
C. Hypotension
D. Tachycardia
E. Edema
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Rationale: Dehydration manifests as dry mucous membranes,
low urine output, hypotension, and increased heart rate.
Edema usually indicates fluid overload, not dehydration.
6. What are the components of a safe medication
administration process?
A. Right patient
B. Right drug
C. Right dose
D. Right route
E. Right time
Correct answers: A, B, C, D, E
Rationale: The “Five Rights” of medication administration
prevent errors and ensure patient safety.
7. Which factors affect oxygen delivery in patients?
A. Hemoglobin level
, B. Cardiac output
C. Lung function
D. Age
E. Body temperature
Correct answers: A, B, C
Rationale: Oxygen delivery depends on hemoglobin
concentration, cardiac output, and lung function. Age and
temperature may influence oxygen demand but do not directly
affect delivery.
8. Which measures are effective for preventing hospital-
acquired infections?
A. Hand washing
B. Proper use of PPE
C. Routine disinfection of surfaces
D. Patient isolation based on risk
E. Giving prophylactic antibiotics to all patients
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Rationale: Infection prevention relies on hygiene, PPE,
environmental cleaning, and targeted isolation. Routine
prophylactic antibiotics can cause resistance and are not
standard for all patients.
9. Which of the following are signs of hypoglycemia in diabetic
patients?
A. Sweating
