Question 2 of 5
Becky has been NPO since midnight in preparation for a blood test. The adreno-cortical response is activated. Which of the following is an expected response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The adrenocortical response, triggered by fasting (NPO status), activates stress hormones like cortisol and aldosterone, conserving resources during deprivation. Decreased urine output results from aldosterone's promotion of sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, maintaining fluid volume and blood pressure. This adaptation counters the stress of fasting, ensuring homeostasis. Low blood pressure would oppose this, as the response aims to stabilize circulation, not reduce it. Warm, dry skin isn't typical; stress might cause cool, clammy skin from vasoconstriction, but fasting alone doesn't dictate this. Decreased serum sodium levels contradict aldosterone's sodium-retaining effect, which elevates or stabilizes sodium. Decreased urine output aligns with the body's conservation mechanism, making it the expected physiological response in this scenario, critical for nurses to recognize during patient monitoring.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statement best describe collaboration in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Collaboration is working with others for care (
B), per nursing e.g., team goals. Not alone (
A), not competitive (
C), not one-time (
D) joint effort. B best defines collaboration's teamwork, making it correct.
Question 4 of 5
In what phase of Nurse patient relationship does a nurse review the client's medical records thereby learning as much as possible about the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the Pre-Orientation phase (
A), the nurse reviews records to gather data about the client before meeting, preparing for interaction. Orientation (
B) begins with the first encounter, building trust. Working (
C) involves goal-focused collaboration, and Termination (
D) ends the relationship. Pre-Orientation is distinct as it's preparatory, not interactive, aligning with Peplau's model where understanding the client starts pre-contact, making A correct.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following meal choices is suitable for a 6-month-old infant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rice cereal, apple juice, and formula suit a 6-month-old, aligning with early solid introduction gluten-free, digestible, and safe, per pediatric guidelines. Egg whites risk allergies, whole milk isn't recommended before 1 year, and melba toast is a choking hazard. Nurses advise this menu to support growth, avoiding allergens or hard foods, ensuring nutritional balance for this developmental stage.
