Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1:
Chief cells secrete pepsinogen and rennin, not intrinsic factor.
Rationale 2: Intrinsic factor is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12, not B6.
Rationale 3: Intrinsic factor does not aid in the secretion of mucus in the stomach.
Rationale 4: Parietal cells secrete intrinsic factor, which is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3
Rationale 1: Smoking cessation has been shown to slow the progression of COPD.
Rationale 2: Depending upon the extent of damage, the client's lungs may not get better at all, but may just stop getting worse.
Rationale 3: Smoking cessation has been shown to result in fewer respiratory symptoms.
Rationale 4: It is not therapeutic to tell the client that he is correct with this statement.
Rationale 5: The nurse should encourage the client to stop smoking.
