Welcome to the Demo Quiz! Below, you will find numerous sample questions. This demo quiz is set up with questions and the question's answer with Answer reason.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. A schizophrenic client having visual and auditory hallucinations and the client with ulcerative colitis
B. The client who is six months pregnant with abdominal pain and the client with facial lacerations and a broken arm
C. A child whose pupils are fixed and dilated and his parents and a client with a frontal head injury
D. The client who arrives with a large puncture wound to the abdomen and the client with chest pain
Out of all these clients, it is best to hold the pregnant client and the client with a broken arm and facial lacerations in the same room. The other clients need to be placed in separate rooms, so answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. AV node
B. Purkinje fibers
C. SA node
D. Bundle of His
The pacemaker of the heart is the SA node. The impulse moves from the SA node to the AV node on to the right and left bundle branches and finally to the Purkinje fibers. This makes answers A, B, and D incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Magnetic resonance imaging
B. Ultrasonography
C. Noncontrast helical computerized tomography
D. X-ray of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder
Noncontrast helical computerized tomography is the most sensitive means for diagnosing renal calculi. Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder are not as sensitive; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Potassium level of 2.5
B. Sodium level of 140
C. Glucose level of 110
D. Calcium level of 8
Furosemide (Lasix) is a loop diuretic. Note that most of the loop diuretics end in ide. In answers B, C, and D, the findings are all within normal limits.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. “I need to avoid certain foods and drinks to prevent an increase in blood pressure.”
B. “I will schedule an appointment each month to have my blood level checked.”
C. “I will use hard candy or gum to keep my mouth from feeling too dry.”
D. “I will need to take my medicine before meals to improve its effect.”
Dry mouth is a common side effect of antidepressant medications. Using hard candy or gum helps to prevent mouth dryness. Answer A is incorrect because it refers to treatment with MAOI. Answer B is incorrect because it refers to treatment with lithium. Answer D is incorrect because taking the medication with food enhances the absorption rate of the medication.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Reduces spasticity
B. Skeletal muscle relaxation
C. Immune suppression
D. Prevents viral infections
The drug Baclofen (Lioresal) might also improve bowel and bladder function. Answers B, C, and D do not refer to the drug Lioresal, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Constipation
B. White blood cell count of 14,000
C. Amylase of 460
D. Potassium of 3.1 mEq/L
Amylase and lipase are reliable tests used for pancreatitis diagnosis. The answers in A, B, and D are not directly related to the pancreas and not diagnostic, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
Total Volume / Time x Drip Factor = 1000 mL / 24 hours x 15drops/mL = 625 drops/hour
625drops/hour x 1hour/60minutes = 10.4166667 = 10 drops/minute (rounded off to a whole number)
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Take at bedtime
B. Take the medication with juice
C. Report changes in appetite
D. Avoid sunshine while taking the medication
Lugol’s solution is a soluble solution of potassium iodine and should be given with juice because it is bitter to taste. In answer A the medication can be taken at another time, so it is incorrect. Reporting changes in appetite is unnecessary, so answer C is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect because it is also unnecessary.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. 3-4 days
B. 5-9 days
C. 10-14 days
D. 2-3 weeks
The incubation period (the period of time from exposure to the onset of the first symptoms) is 10 to 14 days. The first symptoms of smallpox infection include an abrupt onset of chills, high fever, headache, backache, severe malaise, vomiting, possible delirium, stupor and coma
The Correct Answer is Option A, Option B, Option D
A. Auscultating lung sounds
B. Obtaining the client’s temperature
C. Assessing the strength of peripheral pulses
D. Obtaining information about the client’s respirations
Answer: 1,2,4
A focused assessment focuses on a limited or short-term problem, such as the client’s complaint. Because the client is complaining of symptoms of a cold, a cough, and lung congestion, the nurse would focus on the respiratory system and the presence of an infection. A complete assessment includes a complete health history and physical examination and forms a baseline database. Assessing the strength of peripheral pulses relates to a vascular assessment, which is not related to this client’s complaints. A musculoskeletal and neurological examination also is not related to this client’s complaints. However, the strength of peripheral pulses and a musculoskeletal and neurological examination would be included in a complete assessment. Likewise, asking the client about a family history of any illness or disease would be included in a complete
assessment
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Autograft
B. Isograft
C. Allograft
D. Xenograft
Xenografts are taken from animal sources. Answers A, B, and C are incorrect because they originate from human donors.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Place a tourniquet proximal to the laceration
B. Elevate the leg above the level of the heart
C. Cover the laceration and apply an ice compress
D. Apply pressure to the femoral artery
If bleeding does not subside with direct pressure, the nurse should elevate the extremity above the level of the heart. Answers A and D are done only if other measures are ineffective, so they are incorrect. Answer C would slow the bleeding, but will not stop it, so it’s incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Dermatophytes that cause fungal infections are spread only by human-to-human contact.
B. Infection depends on inoculation and maintenance of the organism in the outer layers of the skin.
C. Treatment of fungal infections continues only until lesions have disappeared.
D. Systemic fungal infections are best treated with antibacterial medications.
Infection occurs when dermatophytes come in contact with a susceptible host that allows inoculation and maintenance in the outer layers of the skin. Answer A is incorrect because dermatophytes are spread by contact with contaminated soil, animals, or humans. Answer C is incorrect because therapy usually continues for one to two weeks after clearing in order to prevent recurrence. Answer D is incorrect because systemic fungal infections are treated with antifungal medications such as Nizoral (ketoconozole), not antibacterial medications.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Assess for allergy to iodine
B. Check pulses proximal to the site
C. Assess the urinary output
D. Check to ensure that the client has a consent form signed
The dye used in the procedure can cause a decrease in renal function. The client’s renal function should be assessed and changes reported to the doctor immediately. Answer A is incorrect because the client’s allergies should be checked prior to the procedure, not after the procedure. The femoral artery is commonly used as the site for a catheterization. Answer B is incorrect because the pulses should be checked distal to the site. Answer D is incorrect because the permit should be signed prior to the procedure.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Return to the clinic in six weeks for a urinalysis
B. Avoid exercise for at least six weeks
C. Do not become pregnant for at least 12 months
D. Return to the clinic in six months for liver enzyme studies
The client that has experienced a hydatidiform mole should avoid becoming pregnant again for one year because chorionic carcinoma is associated with a hydatidiform mole. If the client does become pregnant and there are cells for chorionic carcinoma, the hormonal stimulation can cause rapid cell proliferation and growth of the cancer. Answer A is incorrect because a urinalysis in six weeks is not necessary. Answer B is incorrect because exercise is not contraindicated after a hydatidiform mole. Answer D is incorrect because checking liver enzymes in six months is not necessary after a hydatidiform mole.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Celestone
B. Dopamine
C. Serotonin
D. Anti-diuretic hormone
The neurotransmitter dopamine is missing in clients with Parkinson’s disease. Most of the treatment involves replacement of this drug. Answer A is a steroid. Answer C is a neurotransmitter not missing in Parkinson’s disease, and Answer D is secreted by the pituitary gland not related to the stated diagnosis; therefore Answers A, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Dry the skin thoroughly and apply the cream
B. Use a vigorous circular motion to apply the cream
C. Apply the cream 2–3 minutes after the bath
D. Use the cream only if flaking of the skin is noted
The application of an emollient cream to the skin two or three minutes after bathing helps seal in moisture. Answers A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not facilitate rehydration of the skin.
