NCLEX or CGFNS Passers Needed

Hi All,

Pls. be aware that I am accepting application for Memphis, TN. I need 10-20 nurses and the hospital is willing to hire nurses with no local experience. NC STAFFING will provide skills training to assist nurses in their transition to US nursing. This is an evidence of our commitment to helping Filipino nurses become NC Leapfrogs- "Strong. Energetic. And a leap above the others."

If you are interested, pls email me at aadams@ncstaffing.com. Pls. go to www.ncstaffing.com- Non-US nurses and check the requirements.

Regards

A. Create rituals around eating.
B. Obtain an order for a sedative 2 hours before meals.
C. Ensure the eating place is free from stimulation.
D. Determine the calorie requirements for the client.

Answer: D. In this case, the priority in nursing care would be stabilizing the client's weight. In order to do this, the nurse needs to determine the client's calorie requirements. "A" would not improve the client's nutritional status or meet the goal of weight stabilization. "C" would benefit the client, but it does not take priority.
