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 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
The child with conduct disorder and the adult with antisocial personality disorder are characterized by lack of guilt or remorse for wrongdoings. Answer B is incorrect because both can have a higher than average IQ. Answer C is incorrect because both have a history of parental neglect or inconsistent parenting. Answer D is incorrect because both lack close friendships.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Recent cardio thoracic surgery
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Emphysema
Recent abdominal or thoracic surgery are contraindications for chest physiotherapy. Chest physiotherapy includes the use of percussion, vibration and postural chest drainage. Chest physiotherapy is not contraindicated for the client with diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, or emphysema, therefore answers B, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Anorexia
B. Difficulty swallowing
C. Hirsutism
D. Hot flashes
Hirsutism is facial hair. This is associated with hypersecretion of cortisol. Answers A, B, and D are not associated with Cushing’s disease.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Stabilize clots in the vascular system
B. Decrease the chance of a blood reaction
C. Eliminate iron excess
D. Boost oxygen delivery to the cells
A chelating agent such as deferoxamine (Desferal) is given to eliminate excess iron. The answers in A, B, and D are not the action of chelating agents, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Contractions every 5–6 minutes lasting 60 seconds
B. Variability of 6–8 beats per minute
C. Drops in fetal heart tones after contractions lasting 90 seconds with hesitant return to baseline
D. Drops in fetal heart tones prior to the contractions during pushing
This describes a late deceleration. These decelerations are caused by uteroplacental insufficiency and require intervention by the nurse. The treatment is STOP (Stop Pitocin if infusing; Turn the client to her side; begin Oxygen therapy; Prepare for delivery). Increasing IV fluids helps to increase blood to the uterus. Answer A is within normal limits. Answer B is also within normal limits. Answer D is incorrect because a drop in fetal heart tones prior to the contraction describes an early deceleration caused by head compression. This is expected during pushing.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. The client receiving radium linear accelerator radiation therapy for cancer
B. The client with a radium implant for vaginal cancer
C. The client who has just been administered radioactive isotopes for cancer
D. The client who returned from placement of iridium seeds for prostate cancer
The pregnant nurse should not be assigned to any client with radioactivity present. The client receiving linear accelerator therapy travels to the radium department for therapy, and the radiation stays in the department. Thus, the client is not radioactive. The client in answer B poses a risk to the pregnant client, so answer B is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because the client is radioactive in very small doses. For approximately 72 hours, the client should dispose of urine and feces in special containers and use plastic spoons and forks. The client in answer D is also radioactive in small amounts, especially upon return from the procedure, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
Partial seizures usually originate in the temporal lobe, making Answers A, B, and D incorrect because partial seizures do not usually occur in the other lobes.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Mole 2 mm in diameter on the chest
B. Tenting of the skin on the forearms
C. Patches of vitiligo around both eyes
D. Scattered brown macules on the face
Tenting of the skin on younger clients may indicate dehydration and the need for oral or IV fluid administration. The other data will be recorded but do not require any rapid interventions.
The Correct Answer is Option B
The thyroid is located anterior to the trachea; therefore, laryngeal stridor and airway obstruction is a risk following a thyroidectomy. Answer A is incorrect because this action is not necessary. The need for extra blankets is associated with hypothyroidism, but is not directly associated with thyroid surgery. Answer C is incorrect because the client can talk. Answer D is incorrect because pain medication should be offered as needed, not every four hours.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Risedronate (Actonel)
B. Alendronate (Fosamax)
C. Ibandronate (Boniva)
D. Raloxifene (Evista)
Evista should not be given to clients with liver disease because it can make the condition worse. Answers A, B, and C are not contraindicated in liver disease clients, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. 1400
B. 1500
C. 1600
D. 1700
Blood must be finished within four hours of the start time. Answers in A, B, and C are before the 4-hour time limit, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Aplastic
B. Vaso-occlusive
C. Splenic sequestration
D. Erythropoiesis
Erythropoiesis is the formation of RBCs not related to sickle cell crisis. The answers in A, B, and C are types of sickle cell anemia crises, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. The client with Cushing’s disease
B. The client with diabetes
C. The client with acromegaly
D. The client with myxedema
The client with Cushing’s disease has adrenocortical hypersecretion. This increase in the level of cortisone causes the client to be immune-suppressed. The client with diabetes poses no risk to other clients and is not immunosuppressed, so answer B is incorrect. The client in answer C has an increase in growth hormone and poses no risk to himself or others, so the answer is incorrect. The client in answer D has hyperthyroidism, or myxedema, and poses no risk to others or himself, so it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Hemarthrosis of the elbow
B. Bruise of the ankle
C. Bruise of the ankle
D. Unilateral numbness and lack of movement of arm
The neurological symptoms could mean an intracranial bleed has occurred. The answers in A, B, and C are reasons for concern, but they are not the priority, so they are incorrect.
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 Option D
A. Eliminates the neurotransmitter acetylcholine
B. Increases the perception of external stimuli
C. Decreases levels of cortisol from the adrenal cortex
D. Produces a seizure that temporarily alters brain chemicals
Electroconvulsive therapy produces a tonic-clonic seizure that temporarily increases brain chemicals, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Answers A, B, and C are not true statements; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
Use the medication formula:
Desired / Available x Volume = 1,000,000units / 1,200,000units x 2mL = 1.66666666667 mL
Rounded off to two decimal places: 1.67 mL
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Surgical ANTT
B. Standard ANTT
C. Sterile ANTT
D. Clean procedure
Simple procedures requiring asepsis will require Standard ANTT. These procedures include simple wound dressings, IV medication preparation and administration, removal of surgical drains, and changing of IV fluids.
Surgical ANTT is for invasive procedures such as IV cannulation and Urinary catheterization
Clean procedures are for non-invasive, non-sterile skills such as NGT insertion or colostomy care.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Wear protective clothing and sunglasses when she is outside
B. Avoid using dietary supplements and over the counter medications
C. Make sure that she consumes adequate fluids each day
D. Increase her intake of iron, including liver and lentils
Nardil, an MAOI, should not be used with dietary supplements or over the counter medications. Answer A refers to care of the client receiving antipsychotic medication; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer C refers to the client taking lithium; therefore, it is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect because liver is high in tyramine and should be avoided by the client taking Nardil.
