Question 1 of 5
A 6-year-old child is hospitalized following an acute asthmatic episode. Which statement by the parents indicates that further teaching is needed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Saying the child must quit swimming (B) indicates a teaching need. Exercise-induced asthma, likely here (C), is manageable with pre-exercise cromolyn (A) or albuterol, and an inhaler on hand (D) correct parental insights. Swimming, a low-impact sport, benefits asthmatics by strengthening lungs in humid air, not triggering attacks like running might. Quitting suggests misunderstanding asthma control; activity should be encouraged with proper prophylaxis. Further teaching should clarify that asthma, even exercise-induced, allows sports participation with management, critical for the child's physical and social development, a key nursing role in chronic illness support.
Question 2 of 5
A study of persons with atopic asthma reveals that they develop pathologic changes in their airways with repeated bouts. These changes include smooth muscle and mucus gland hypertrophy. It is observed that the late-phase inflammatory response to allergens potentiates epithelial cell cytokine production that promotes airway remodeling. Which of the following immune cells is most important in this excessive inflammatory response to allergens?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: TH2 lymphocytes (D) drive atopic asthma's late-phase inflammation . IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 boost eosinophilia and remodeling (smooth muscle 50% thicker), per Table 12-2. B cells (A) produce IgE via TH2. Cytotoxic (B) and NK (C) cells target infections. D's cytokine storm unlike A's secondary role potentiates airway changes, per document.
Question 3 of 5
The interstitium contains:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
43 male patient present to the physician with dyspnea excessive sputum and blue lips and extremities chest radiography showed large heart and prominent blood vessels, which of the following is most likely the diagnosis:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following structures is NOT part of the upper respiratory tract?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The lung (C) isn't upper respiratory . The upper tract nose, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis filters and warms air. The larynx (A) vibrates for speech, epiglottis (D) guards the trachea (B), which links to lower airways. Lungs (C), distal to the trachea, perform gas exchange (300 million alveoli), not air conduction. C's role in exchange unlike A's phonation or B's conduit function excludes it from the upper tract, per anatomy (Page 2).
