Question 1 of 5
Correct method of mouth to mouth respiration is that the victim's chin is held:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When performing the correct method of mouth-to-mouth respiration, it is essential to ensure that the victim's chin is held downward. This helps to properly open the airway, allowing for effective ventilation. By tilting the head back and holding the chin downward, you are able to align the victim's airway to allow the entry of air into the lungs during rescue breathing. Holding the chin in a downward position also helps prevent any obstruction that may hinder the flow of air. Remember to also pinch the victim's nose closed while giving breaths to ensure that the air goes into their lungs.
Question 2 of 5
A 5 months child is brought for routine care. During auscultation of heart you find a short systolic murmur at left upper sternal border with soft 2nd heart sound. The most likely diagnosis is?

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for an adolescent who had an external fixator placed after suffering a fracture of the wrist during a bicycle accident. Which statement by the adolescent should be expected about separation anxiety?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Separation anxiety is a common response in adolescents who have had to be separated from their family and friends due to hospitalization or medical treatment. In this situation, the adolescent expressing a desire for their parents to spend the night with them in the hospital is indicative of separation anxiety. They may feel comforted and secure by having their parents close by during this challenging time. The other statements do not directly reflect separation anxiety but rather focus on preferences for visitors and concerns about embarrassment.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the ff should qualify as an abnormal result in a Romberg test?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: During a Romberg test, the individual is asked to stand with feet together, arms at sides, and eyes closed. The tester then observes for swaying, losing balance, or arm drifting, which are signs of a positive Romberg test, indicating a potential issue with proprioception or vestibular function. Hypotension (choice A) refers to low blood pressure and is not directly assessed during a Romberg test. Sneezing and wheezing (choice C) are unrelated symptoms. Excessive cerumen in the outer ear (choice D) does not affect the results of a Romberg test focused on balance and proprioception.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the ff would help a client with an allergic skin reaction to reduce itching and maintain skin intact? Choose all that apply
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing cotton gloves, especially during sleep, would help protect the skin from further irritation caused by scratching during the night. Cotton is a breathable fabric that is gentle on the skin and can help prevent further damage or itching. It also helps in maintaining the skin intact by creating a barrier between the skin and external irritants, thus reducing the chances of exacerbating the allergic reaction.
