-
Report the incidence to head nurse
-

Correct Answer
A. Respect the client’s actionExplanation
Respecting the client's action would be the best response for Nurse Tina in this situation.

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?
-
Increased urinary output
-
Decreased RR
-
Slowed papillary response
-
Decreased level of consciousness
Correct Answer
A. Increased urinary outputExplanation
Increased urinary output is an indication that the treatment of Mannitol has been effective for a patient with increased intracranial pressure. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that helps to reduce intracranial pressure by drawing fluid out of the brain cells and into the bloodstream. This increased fluid in the bloodstream is then excreted through the kidneys, leading to increased urinary output. Therefore, if the patient's urinary output has increased, it suggests that Mannitol has successfully reduced intracranial pressure.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?
-
Greenish discharge
-
Brown exudates at incision edges
-
Pallor around sutures
-
Redness and warmth
Correct Answer
A. Redness and warmthExplanation
Redness and warmth are signs of a local inflammatory response. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, and it is characterized by increased blood flow to the affected area. This increased blood flow causes redness and warmth. Greenish discharge and brown exudates at the incision edges may indicate infection, while pallor around sutures may suggest inadequate blood supply. However, in this case, the question specifically asks for signs of a local inflammatory response, making redness and warmth the correct answer.Rate this question:

Toy with a tentative diagnosis of myasthenia gravis is admitted for diagnostic make up. Myasthenia gravis can confirmed by:
-
Kernigs sign
-
Brudzinski’s sign
-
A positive sweat chloride test
-
A positive edrophonium (Tensilon) test
Correct Answer
A. A positive edrophonium (Tensilon) testExplanation
A positive edrophonium (Tensilon) test can confirm the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Edrophonium is a medication that temporarily improves muscle strength in individuals with myasthenia gravis. If the patient shows a significant improvement in muscle strength after receiving edrophonium, it suggests that they have myasthenia gravis. This test is commonly used in the diagnostic workup of myasthenia gravis to differentiate it from other neuromuscular disorders. Kernig's sign, Brudzinski's sign, and a positive sweat chloride test are not specific for myasthenia gravis and are not used to confirm the diagnosis of this condition.Rate this question:

-
Two arteries and two veins
-
One artery and one vein
-
Two arteries and one vein
-
One artery and two veins
Correct Answer
A. Two arteries and one veinExplanation
During fetal development, the umbilical cord connects the baby to the placenta. The umbilical cord contains blood vessels that transport oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the baby and remove waste products from the baby's circulation. Normally, the umbilical cord consists of two arteries and one vein. The two arteries carry deoxygenated blood and waste products away from the baby, while the vein carries oxygenated blood and nutrients towards the baby. This arrangement ensures proper circulation and nourishment for the developing fetus.Rate this question:

What is the fast breathing of Jana who is 3 weeks old?
-
60 breaths per minute
-
40 breaths per minute
-
10 breaths per minute
-
20 breaths per minute
Correct Answer
A. 60 breaths per minuteExplanation
At 3 weeks old, a fast breathing rate of 60 breaths per minute is considered normal for Jana. This is because infants have a higher respiratory rate compared to adults. As they grow older, their breathing rate gradually decreases. Therefore, the option "60 breaths per minute" is the correct answer as it aligns with the expected breathing rate for a 3-week-old infant.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:
-
WBC count
-
Urinalysis
-
ELISA
-
Peripheral blood smear
Correct Answer
A. Peripheral blood smearExplanation
The most important diagnostic test in malaria is a peripheral blood smear. This test involves examining a blood sample under a microscope to look for the presence of malaria parasites in the red blood cells. This is the gold standard test for diagnosing malaria as it can accurately identify the species of malaria parasite and determine the level of infection. Other tests like WBC count, urinalysis, and ELISA may be helpful in supporting the diagnosis or assessing complications, but they are not as specific or reliable as a peripheral blood smear.Rate this question:

-
Pressure caused by the ascending uterus
-
Water intake of 3L a day
-
Effect of cold weather
-
Increase intake of fruits and vegetables
Correct Answer
A. Pressure caused by the ascending uterusExplanation
The correct answer is "Pressure caused by the ascending uterus." This is because urinary frequency is a common symptom during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to the growing uterus putting pressure on the bladder.

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?
-
Nurse who never had chicken pox
-
Nurse who never had roseola
-
Nurse who never had german measles
-
Nurse who never had mumps
Correct Answer
A. Nurse who never had chicken poxExplanation
The nurse supervisor avoids assigning a nurse who never had chickenpox to a client with herpes zoster because herpes zoster is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. If a nurse has never had chickenpox, they are at risk of contracting the virus from the client with herpes zoster, which can be dangerous for them and potentially spread the infection to other patients. Therefore, it is safer to assign a nurse who has already had chickenpox and is immune to the virus.Rate this question:

An infant is ordered to receive 500 ml of D5NSS for 24 hours. The Intravenous drip is running at 60 gtts/min. How many drops per minute should the flow rate be?
-
60 gtts/min.
-
21 gtts/min
-
30 gtts/min
-
15 gtts/min
Correct Answer
A. 21 gtts/minExplanation
The correct answer is 21 gtts/min. To calculate the flow rate in drops per minute, we can use the formula: Flow rate (gtts/min) = Volume (ml) x Drop factor / Time (min). In this case, the volume is 500 ml, the drop factor is not given, and the time is 24 hours. Since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, we can convert the time to minutes by multiplying 24 by 60, which equals 1440 minutes. Therefore, the formula becomes: Flow rate (gtts/min) = 500 ml x Drop factor / 1440 min. Since the flow rate is given as 60 gtts/min, we can set up the equation: 60 = 500 x Drop factor / 1440. Solving for the drop factor, we get: Drop factor = (60 x 1440) / 500 = 172.8. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the flow rate should be 173 gtts/min. However, since this is not one of the answer choices, the closest option is 21 gtts/min.Rate this question:
