Question 1 of 5

Contraindications to Lumbar puncture include all except:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Lumbar puncture (LP) risks complications if contraindicated. Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) (choice A) can cause herniation post-LP, a fatal risk. Neoplasm (choice B) or hematoma (choice C) may increase ICP or bleeding risk, making LP dangerous. Headache (choice D) is a symptom, not a contraindication, and may even prompt LP (e.g., meningitis diagnosis). D is correct, as headache doesn't preclude LP. Nurses assess for ICP signs (e.g., papilledema), ensure safety, and manage post-LP headaches, supporting diagnostic accuracy.

Question 2 of 5

Imelda is in the recovery stage after the incident. As a nurse, you know that the diet that will be prescribed to Miss Imelda is

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During recovery from massive tissue loss, Imelda needs a high protein, high calorie diet with vitamins A and C (B). Protein supports tissue repair and collagen synthesis, vital for wound healing. High calories provide energy for metabolic demands of recovery. Vitamins A and C enhance epithelialization and collagen formation. Low calorie options (A, D) lack energy for healing, while low protein (C, D) hinders tissue regeneration. This nutrient-rich diet matches the needs of second intention healing, where extensive repair occurs, making B the correct choice.

Question 3 of 5

What type of relaxation technique does Lyza uses if a machine is showing her pulse rate, temperature and muscle tension which she can visualize and assess?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Biofeedback (A) uses machines to display pulse, temperature, and muscle tension, allowing Lyza to visualize and control them. Massage (B) is physical, not machine-based. Autogenic training (C) involves self-suggestion, not devices. Visualization (D) is mental imagery, not monitored. Biofeedback trains self-regulation via real-time data, per psychology, matching the description and making A correct.
