Question 1 of 5
A patient develops hypotension, laryngeal edema, and bronchospasm after eating peanuts. Which medication should the nurse prepare to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient is exhibiting symptoms of anaphylaxis triggered by a peanut allergy, which is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The appropriate medication for anaphylaxis is epinephrine. Epinephrine acts quickly to reverse the symptoms by constricting blood vessels, relaxing bronchial muscles, and reducing laryngeal edema, making it the drug of choice for this situation. Promethazine, diphenhydramine, and hydroxyzine are not the first-line treatments for anaphylaxis and may not address the severe manifestations seen in this case.
Question 2 of 5
A patient taking isotretinoin (Accutane) for acne vulgaris. Which statement indicates that the patient teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Isotretinoin is highly teratogenic, which means it can cause birth defects. Therefore, it is crucial for patients, especially females of childbearing potential, to use effective forms of birth control to prevent pregnancy while taking this medication. This is a key component of patient teaching to ensure the safe use of isotretinoin.

Question 4 of 5
What is the corrected age of a child born at 30 weeks gestation on May 2, 2014, who is being tested on August 5, 2014?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the corrected age of a premature child, you need to adjust for the weeks of prematurity. In this case, the child was born at 30 weeks gestation. From May 2, 2014, to August 5, 2014, is a span of 14 weeks. Subtracting the 30 weeks of gestation from the total time passed (14 weeks) gives the corrected age, which is 14 - 30 = -16 weeks. Since negative weeks are not relevant here, the corrected age is 0 weeks, which is equivalent to 2 weeks.
Question 5 of 5
Which question does not provide information regarding the family's cultural values?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Asking for the child's date of birth is a factual question that does not directly relate to the family's cultural values. The other choices (A, C, D) explore aspects that could provide insights into the family's cultural values and beliefs, such as decision-making dynamics, daily routines, mealtime rules, and views on disability.
