- A.
Refrain from eating eggs or egg products for 24 hours
- B.
Avoid having sexual intercourse
- C.
Don’t get pregnant at least 3 months
- D.
Avoid exposure to sun
Correct Answer
C. Don’t get pregnant at least 3 monthsExplanation
Rubella, also known as German measles, is a contagious viral infection that can cause serious harm to a developing fetus if a woman contracts it during pregnancy. The rubella vaccine is given to protect women of childbearing age from contracting rubella and potentially passing it on to their unborn child. The instruction "Don't get pregnant at least 3 months" is given because it takes time for the vaccine to provide full protection, and it is recommended to wait for at least 3 months after receiving the vaccine before trying to conceive to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the vaccine.Rate this question:

Jonas who is diagnosed with encephalitis is under the treatment of Mannitol. Which of the following patient outcomes indicate to Nurse Ronald that the treatment of Mannitol has been effective for a patient that has increased intracranial pressure?
- A.
Increased urinary output
- B.
Decreased RR
- C.
Slowed papillary response
- D.
Decreased level of consciousness
Correct Answer
A. Increased urinary outputExplanation
Increased urinary output is a patient outcome that indicates the effectiveness of Mannitol treatment for a patient with increased intracranial pressure. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that works by drawing fluid out of the brain tissue and into the bloodstream, reducing intracranial pressure. Increased urinary output signifies that the medication is successfully promoting diuresis and removing excess fluid from the body. This helps to decrease intracranial pressure and relieve symptoms associated with encephalitis.Rate this question:

Mary asked Nurse Maureen about the incubation period of rabies. Which statement by the Nurse Maureen is appropriate?
- A.
Incubation period is 6 months
- B.
Incubation period is 1 week
- C.

- D.
Incubation period varies depending on the site of the bite
Correct Answer
D. Incubation period varies depending on the site of the biteExplanation
The nurse's statement that the incubation period of rabies varies depending on the site of the bite is appropriate because the incubation period of rabies can indeed vary depending on factors such as the location and severity of the bite. It is not a fixed duration like 6 months, 1 week, or 1 month. Rabies can have an incubation period ranging from a few days to several years, with an average of 1 to 3 months. Therefore, the nurse's statement provides a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the incubation period of rabies.Rate this question:

Mr. Dela Rosa is suspected to have malaria after a business trip in Palawan. The most important diagnostic test in malaria is:
- A.
WBC count
- B.
Urinalysis
- C.
ELISA
- D.
Peripheral blood smear
Correct Answer
D. Peripheral blood smearExplanation
A peripheral blood smear is the most important diagnostic test in malaria because it allows for the direct visualization of the malaria parasite in the blood. This test involves examining a thin blood film under a microscope to identify the presence of the parasite and determine the species of malaria causing the infection. Other tests such as WBC count, urinalysis, and ELISA may be helpful in supporting the diagnosis or assessing the severity of the infection, but they are not as specific or reliable as the peripheral blood smear.Rate this question:

The Nurse supervisor is planning for patient’s assignment for the AM shift. The nurse supervisor avoids assigning which of the following staff members to a client with herpes zoster?
- A.
Nurse who never had chicken pox
- B.
Nurse who never had roseola
- C.
Nurse who never had german measles
- D.
Nurse who never had mumps
Correct Answer
A. Nurse who never had chicken poxExplanation
The nurse supervisor avoids assigning a nurse who never had chicken pox to a client with herpes zoster because chicken pox and herpes zoster are caused by the same virus, the varicella-zoster virus. If a nurse has never had chicken pox, it means they have not been exposed to the virus and therefore have not developed immunity. Assigning this nurse to a client with herpes zoster could put them at risk of contracting the virus.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 18 year old sister who recently got marriedExplanation
Rubella, also known as German measles, is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause serious complications, especially in pregnant women. The correct answer is the 18 year old sister who recently got married because if she is pregnant or planning to become pregnant, she could be at risk of contracting rubella from the female child. Rubella can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, so it is important to isolate the child from individuals who are at risk, such as pregnant women, to prevent the spread of the infection and potential harm to the fetus.Rate this question:

What is the primary prevention of leprosy?
- A.
Nutrition
- B.
Vitamins
- C.
BCG vaccination
- D.
DPT vaccination
Correct Answer
C. BCG vaccinationExplanation
BCG vaccination is the correct answer for the primary prevention of leprosy. BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) is a vaccine primarily used against tuberculosis (TB), but it has also shown some effectiveness in preventing leprosy. Studies have suggested that BCG vaccination can provide partial protection against leprosy, especially in children. It is believed that the vaccine boosts the immune system's response to the bacteria that causes leprosy, reducing the risk of infection. While nutrition and vitamins may play a role in overall health, they are not specifically targeted at preventing leprosy. DPT vaccination is used for preventing diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus, and is not directly related to leprosy prevention.Rate this question:

A male client had undergone Mantoux skin test. Nurse Ronald notes an 8mm area of indurations at the site of the skin test. The nurse interprets the result as:
- A.
Negative
- B.
Uncertain and needs to be repeated
- C.
Positive
- D.
Inconclusive
Correct Answer
C. PositiveExplanation
The nurse interprets the result as positive because an 8mm area of induration at the site of the Mantoux skin test is considered a positive result for a male client. Induration refers to the hardening or swelling of the skin, which indicates a reaction to the test and suggests the presence of tuberculosis infection. Therefore, the positive interpretation suggests that the client may have tuberculosis and further diagnostic tests or treatment may be required.Rate this question:

This technique helps to identify the presence of fluid or gas in the abdomen, which can contribute to distension. By percussing different areas of the abdomen, healthcare professionals can determine the extent of distension and gather information about the underlying condition causing it. Auscultation involves listening to bowel sounds, palpation involves feeling the abdomen for abnormalities, and inspection involves visually examining the abdomen. While these techniques can provide valuable information, percussion specifically focuses on assessing the degree of abdominal distension.Rate this question:

A male client is addicted with hallucinogen. Which physiologic effect should the nurse expect?
- A.
Bradypnea
- B.
Bradycardia
- C.
Constricted pupils
- D.
Dilated pupils
Correct Answer
D. Dilated pupilsExplanation
The nurse should expect the physiologic effect of dilated pupils in a male client addicted to hallucinogens. Hallucinogens, such as LSD or magic mushrooms, can cause dilation of the pupils as a result of the drug's effects on the sympathetic nervous system. This sympathetic activation leads to an increase in the release of norepinephrine, which causes the pupils to dilate. This can be a characteristic sign of hallucinogen use and can help in identifying individuals who may be under the influence of these substances.Rate this question:

In assessing a client’s incision 1 day after the surgery, Nurse Betty expect to see which of the following as signs of a local inflammatory response?
- A.
Greenish discharge
- B.
Brown exudates at incision edges
- C.
Pallor around sutures
- D.
Redness and warmth
Correct Answer
D. Redness and warmthExplanation
Redness and warmth are signs of a local inflammatory response. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection. It is characterized by increased blood flow to the affected area, which causes redness and warmth. These symptoms indicate that the body is sending immune cells and other substances to the site of the incision to promote healing and fight off any potential infection. Greenish discharge and brown exudates at the incision edges may indicate infection, while pallor around sutures may suggest poor blood flow to the area.Rate this question:
