Question 2 of 5
Which occurs in septic shock?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In septic shock, vasoconstriction is a common phenomenon. This occurs as part of the body's response to the infection, where blood vessels constrict in an attempt to maintain blood pressure and perfusion to vital organs. The vasoconstriction leads to increased systemic vascular resistance and contributes to the hypotension seen in septic shock. The body's natural response to infection also involves a release of inflammatory mediators, which can cause vasodilation in some areas while concurrent vasoconstriction occurs in others, resulting in uneven blood flow distribution and contributing to organ dysfunction. Therefore, vasoconstriction is a key factor in the pathophysiology of septic shock.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is observing a client receiving antiplatelet therapy for adverse reactions. Antiplatelet drugs most commonly produce which hypersensitivity reaction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antiplatelet drugs most commonly produce bronchospasm as a hypersensitivity reaction. This adverse reaction occurs due to the release of bronchoconstrictive mediators, leading to narrowing of the airways and potentially causing respiratory distress. It is important for nurses to closely monitor clients receiving antiplatelet therapy for signs of bronchospasm, such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, and to intervene promptly to prevent further complications. Difficulty hearing, confusion, and agranulocytosis are not typically associated with antiplatelet therapy.
Question 4 of 5
A mother brings her children into the clinic and they are diagnosed with chickenpox. The mother had chickenpox as a child and is not concerned with contracting the disease when caring for her children. what type of immunity does this mother have?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The mother in this scenario had chickenpox as a child, which means she was exposed to the virus and developed immunity through her own immune response. This type of immunity acquired as a result of natural exposure to an infectious agent is called active natural immunity. In this case, the mother's immune system "learned" how to recognize and fight off the chickenpox virus when she was previously infected, leading to the development of memory cells that provide long-lasting protection against future infections.
