Question 1 of 5

Anopheles balabacensis breeds in?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Temporary water in jungles. Anopheles balabacensis is a species of mosquito known to breed in temporary water sources found in jungles. They typically lay their eggs in small, shallow pools of water that form after rainfalls. This choice is correct because it aligns with the known breeding habits of this particular mosquito species. A: Artificial containers - Incorrect. Anopheles balabacensis typically does not breed in artificial containers but prefers natural water sources. B: Drains - Incorrect. This species does not usually breed in drains but rather in natural water bodies. D: Rock pools - Incorrect. Anopheles balabacensis prefers temporary water in jungles over rock pools for breeding due to the specific environmental conditions required for egg-laying and larval development.

Question 2 of 5

How does rivaroxaban (Xarelto) work?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because rivaroxaban is a direct factor Xa inhibitor that works by inhibiting thrombin formation. Thrombin is a key enzyme in the blood coagulation pathway, and by inhibiting it, rivaroxaban prevents the formation of fibrin clots. Choices B and D are incorrect because rivaroxaban does not directly inhibit fibrinogen or work against vitamin K. Choice C is also incorrect as rivaroxaban does not actually "thin" the blood but rather prevents the formation of clots by inhibiting thrombin.

Question 3 of 5

Age-related changes altering assessment techniques include all the following except?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because changes in dentition with cavities are not directly related to aging; they can occur at any age due to poor oral hygiene. Progressive hair loss, thickened/discolored nail beds, and dry skin are common age-related changes. Hair loss is linked to hormonal changes, nail bed changes may indicate poor circulation, and dry skin is a result of decreased oil production. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it does not specifically relate to age-related changes.

Question 4 of 5

A client has come into the free clinic asking to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection. The client asks the nurse how the test works. The nurse responds that if the testing shows that antibodies to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus are present in the blood, this indicates that the client has which of the following?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: An HIV infection. The presence of antibodies to the AIDS virus in the blood indicates that the client has been exposed to HIV and their immune system has produced antibodies against it. This does not mean the client is immune to HIV (choice A) as HIV infection can still occur. It also does not necessarily mean the immune system is intact (choice B) as the presence of antibodies can indicate exposure to the virus. Additionally, the presence of antibodies does not indicate the client has an AIDS-related complication (choice C) as AIDS is a later stage of HIV infection.

Question 5 of 5

A client is in the primary infection stage of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Which statement regarding this client's current health status is most accurate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because during the primary infection stage of HIV, the virus replicates rapidly without significant antibody production. This results in a high viral load but a lack of detectable HIV-specific antibodies. This stage is also known as the window period. Choice A is incorrect because the client's antibodies are not yet successful in killing the virus during the primary infection stage. Choice C is incorrect because the risk for opportunistic infections typically increases during the later stages of HIV when the immune system is severely compromised, not during the primary infection stage. Choice D is incorrect because once a person is infected with HIV, they will always have the virus, it does not spontaneously clear on its own.
