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 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:

- 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 incubation period of rabies can vary depending on the site of the bite. This means that the time it takes for symptoms to appear can be different for each individual, depending on where they were bitten by an infected animal. It is not a fixed period of time like 6 months, 1 week, or 1 month. The variation in the incubation period is due to factors such as the severity of the bite, the amount of virus transmitted, and the individual's immune response.Rate this question:

Which of the following should Nurse Cherry do first in taking care of a male client with rabies?
- A.
Encourage the patient to take a bath
- B.
Cover IV bottle with brown paper bag
- C.

- D.
Place the patient near the door
Correct Answer
B. Cover IV bottle with brown paper bagExplanation
Covering the IV bottle with a brown paper bag is the first thing Nurse Cherry should do when taking care of a male client with rabies. This is because rabies is a viral infection that affects the nervous system and can be transmitted through saliva, including through bites. By covering the IV bottle, Nurse Cherry is taking precautions to prevent the client from biting or contaminating the IV line, reducing the risk of transmitting the virus to others. This step ensures the safety of both the client and the healthcare team.Rate this question:

Which of the following is the screening test for dengue hemorrhagic fever?
- A.
Complete blood count
- B.
ELISA
- C.
Rumpel-leede test
- D.
Sedimentation rate
Correct Answer
C. Rumpel-leede testExplanation
The Rumpel-leede test is used as a screening test for dengue hemorrhagic fever. This test involves inflating a blood pressure cuff on the patient's arm and then releasing it. If small red spots called petechiae appear at the site where the cuff was placed, it indicates a positive result for dengue hemorrhagic fever. This test helps to identify the presence of capillary fragility, which is a characteristic symptom of the disease. Complete blood count, ELISA, and sedimentation rate are not specific screening tests for dengue hemorrhagic fever.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
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:

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 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:

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, 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:

After delivery of a baby girl. Nurse Gina examines the umbilical cord and expects to find a cord to:
- A.
Two arteries and two veins
- B.
One artery and one vein
- C.
Two arteries and one vein
- D.
One artery and two veins
Correct Answer
C. 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:
