Considered as Safest and most non invasive method of temperature taking

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Axillary temperature is safest and least invasive no mucosal entry e.g., armpit placement avoids risks of rectal (perforation), oral (biting), or tympanic (ear damage). Ideal for infants or frail patients, nurses favor it for safety, per non-invasive assessment guidelines.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Functional nursing thrives with many patients and few nurses by assigning specific tasks e.g., one nurse gives meds, another checks vitals maximizing efficiency. Team nursing uses groups, primary nursing prioritizes one nurse's oversight, and total care demands one-on-one, less feasible here. In busy wards, this task-oriented approach ensures coverage, though it risks fragmentation. Its repetitive nature builds expertise, making it practical when staffing is stretched thin, a common reality in high-demand settings.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Intuitive Period (prehistory-6th century) used trephining skull drilling to expel evil spirits, per Egyptian beliefs e.g., treating seizures as possession. Unlike Dark (religious decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal training), this era relied on instinct, shaping nursing's early, superstition-driven care approaches.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Roy's Adaptation Model (1970s) includes physiologic (body), self-concept (identity), role function (social), and interdependence (relationships) e.g., adjusting diet, esteem, work, support. Subjective data (patient reports) isn't a mode, but a tool. Nurses use this framework e.g., holistic plans for adaptive care.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Neutropenia contraindicates rectal temp e.g., infection risk from low immunity unlike unconsciousness (manageable), NPO (irrelevant), or kids (common). Nurses avoid it e.g., immunocompromised opting for axillary, per infection control.
