Question 1 of 5
Anastacia Giron-Tupas was the first Filipino nurse to occupy the position of chief nurse in this hospital.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas became PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, a landmark in local leadership post-American rule. Unlike St. Paul, Iloilo, or St. Luke's, PGH's prominence amplified her impact e.g., elevating Filipino roles. Her tenure advanced professional recognition, influencing nursing's national identity and autonomy in the early 20th century.
Question 2 of 5
When John has been given paracetamol, his fever was brought down dramatically from 40 degrees Celsius to 36.7 degrees in a matter of 10 minutes. The nurse would assess this event as:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Paracetamol dropping 40°C to 36.7°C in 10 minutes fully meets fever reduction goals e.g., normal range (36.6-38°C). Partial or unmet implies residual fever; undesired criteria suggest issues (none here). Nurses document this e.g., success per outcome standards.
Question 3 of 5
All of the following factors correctly influence respiration except one. Which of the following is incorrect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hydrocodone depresses respiration e.g., slowing RR in pain relief making it correct. Stress, heat, and altitude (low O2) raise RR e.g., panting. No incorrect factor; hydrocodone aligns with nursing pharmacology for monitoring.
Question 4 of 5
In collecting a urine from a catheterized patient, Which of the following statement indicates an accurate performance of the procedure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clamping above port 30-60 minutes e.g., pools fresh urine ensures accuracy, unlike below (stagnant), short times (insufficient). Nurses perform e.g., sterile for reliability, per standards.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse expects which of the following symptoms from a client suspected with appendicitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: McBurney's point pain e.g., RLQ tenderness is expected in appendicitis, unlike umbilical (early), diarrhea (variable), heartburn (unrelated). Nurses expect e.g., palpation for confirmation, per classics.
