Question 1 of 5
A nurse makes the decision to apply a topical anesthetic to a child's skin before drawing blood. Which ethical principle is the nurse demonstrating?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse is demonstrating the ethical principle of beneficence by applying a topical anesthetic to the child's skin before drawing blood. Beneficence refers to the obligation to act in the best interest of the patient, promoting their well-being and preventing harm. In this case, the nurse is taking proactive steps to minimize the child's discomfort and potential pain during the blood draw procedure, thus upholding the principle of beneficence.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is aware that the shift of body fluids associated with the intravenous administration of albumin occurs by the process of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to equalize concentrations on both sides of the membrane. When albumin is administered intravenously, it creates an osmotic pressure in the bloodstream that draws water from the interstitial space into the blood vessels. This shift of body fluids associated with the intravenous administration of albumin occurs through the process of osmosis.
Question 3 of 5
Alveolar type of rhabdomyosarcoma accounts for approximately 1/3 of all cases of pediatric RMS and carries the poorest prognosis. Of the following, the MOST common site of involvement by alveolar type RMS is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Extremities are the most common site for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma.
Question 4 of 5
A classic full blown AIDS case is identified by clinical manifestations such as:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A classic full-blown AIDS case is characterized by the presence of tumors and opportunistic infections due to the severe immunodeficiency caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As the immune system becomes progressively weakened, the individual becomes highly susceptible to various infections and malignancies, which are typically not seen in individuals with a healthy immune system. The presence of tumors and opportunistic infections in an individual signifies the advanced stage of HIV infection and the progression to AIDS. The other options (A, B, D) are more general symptoms that can be seen in various stages of HIV infection and are not specific to a full-blown AIDS case.
Question 5 of 5
All the following are Test results seen in JRA EXCEPT :
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), previously known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects children. In JIA, common test results include an increase in ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), positive RF (Rheumatoid Factor), and positive IgM & IgG antibodies. However, a positive CA 9 result is not typically associated with JRA. CA 9 (Carbonic Anhydrase 9) is not a commonly used marker for diagnosing or monitoring JIA, so it would not be expected to be seen in test results for this condition.
