Question 1 of 5
Choose how many times at least the nurses conducts physical assessment to school children.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: It is recommended for nurses to conduct physical assessments on school children at least three times a year, or thrice a year. This frequency allows nurses to monitor the children's growth and development, assess any changes in their health status, and provide early intervention if needed. Regular physical assessments help ensure that any health issues are identified promptly and addressed appropriately, promoting the overall well-being and academic performance of the students.
Question 2 of 5
In her capacity to teach, the nurse describes the changes of the uterus after childbirth to return to a nonpregnant state as _____
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Involution refers to the process of the uterus returning to its nonpregnant state after childbirth. During pregnancy, the uterus undergoes significant changes and enlarges to accommodate the growing fetus. After childbirth, the uterus begins to contract, leading to a decrease in its size and a return to its pre-pregnant state. This process involves the shedding of the excess endometrial tissue and the reduction of the size of the uterine muscle fibers. It is a normal and essential process for postpartum recovery. Failure of the uterus to undergo proper involution is known as subinvolution, which can lead to complications such as postpartum hemorrhage.
Question 3 of 5
After washing her hands and gently cleaning any discharge that can be removed easily from the outer ear, Nurse Selma positions the child. Which of the following steps follows?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct next step after positioning the child is to drop the medicine into the ear canal. This is typically the next step in administering ear drops for a child. The cleaning and positioning steps are to prepare the ear for receiving the medication. Dropping the medicine into the ear canal ensures that the medication can reach the affected area effectively. Once the medicine is dropped into the ear canal, it is important to follow any additional instructions provided by the healthcare provider regarding keeping the ear in a certain position or any other post-administration care steps.

The patient during labor would anticipate some emotional support. Which of the following nursing interventions should Nurse Sarah provide to keep the patient calm?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Support in maintaining a sense of control is essential in keeping the patient calm during labor. Giving the patient a sense of control allows them to feel empowered and more in charge of their experience. This can help reduce anxiety and fear, ultimately promoting a more positive and calm labor experience. Providing emotional support by assisting the patient in maintaining control can greatly benefit their overall emotional well-being during this stressful time.
Question 5 of 5
Nurse Crissel also asked the participants if they got to know the transmission of HIV based from her lecture? Which is NOT correct?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nurse Crissel likely informed the participants that HIV is not casually transmitted through activities like kissing. HIV transmission primarily occurs through activities that involve the exchange of bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Accidental blood exposure, unprotected sex, and mother to child transmission are known routes of HIV transmission due to the direct exchange of bodily fluids containing the virus. However, the virus is not spread through saliva, including activities like kissing, which do not involve the exchange of significant amounts of bodily fluids.
