Question 1 of 5
Glomerulonephritis is the complication of impetigo due to...?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis follows Streptococcus (A) infection (e.g., impetigo), causing immune-mediated kidney damage. Other bacteria (B, C, D) are less commonly implicated.

World Cancer day is ...?

Rationale: World Cancer Day is February 4 (C), focusing on cancer awareness and prevention.
Question 3 of 5
A client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted with an acute exacerbation. Which oxygen delivery method should the nurse expect to use for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: COPD patients require low-flow oxygen like a nasal cannula at 2 L/min (B) to avoid suppressing hypoxic drive. High-flow options (A, D) risk CO2 retention, and Venturi (C) is precise but not initial.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a nasogastric tube in place for decompression. Which action should the nurse take if the tube becomes occluded?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flushing with 30 mL of sterile saline (A) clears an occluded NG tube safely. Repositioning (B) won’t unclog it, removal (C) is unnecessary, and increasing suction (D) risks injury.
Question 5 of 5
Which client report of pain would indicate to the nurse the possibility of persistent pain rather than acute pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Persistent pain is often diffuse and hard to localize unlike acute pain which is typically well-defined. Pain starting immediately after an injury (B) and improving daily (D) suggest acute pain. Pain reminding the client to protect the area (C) can occur in both types but is less specific.
