Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting education classes for parents of infants. The nurse plans to discuss sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Which risk factors should the nurse include as increasing an infant's risk of a sudden infant death syndrome incident? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: - Low Apgar scores: Infants with low Apgar scores (scores of 3 or lower at 5 minutes after birth) are at an increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Low Apgar scores may indicate underlying health issues in the newborn that could contribute to the risk of SIDS.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a patient admitted for an asthma exacerbation. Which breath sounds does the nurse expect to assess?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Wheezes are high-pitched, musical sounds heard during inspiration or expiration due to the constriction or narrowing of the airways, commonly associated with asthma exacerbations. The presence of wheezes indicates airway obstruction, making it the expected breath sound in a patient admitted for an asthma exacerbation. Rubs, rattles, and crackles are associated with different conditions such as pleural friction rubs, respiratory secretions, and fluid in the alveoli, respectively.

Question 5 of 5
Antibodies are made of which of the following types of substances?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by the immune system in response to the presence of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. These proteins are specifically designed to recognize and bind to antigens, which are molecules that the immune system identifies as foreign or harmful. Antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by marking pathogens for destruction by other immune cells and signaling the immune system to attack the invaders. Therefore, antibodies are primarily made up of proteins.
