Hyperpyrexia is a condition in which the temperature is greater than

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Hyperpyrexia is a temperature above 40°C (104°F) e.g., in severe infections beyond normal fever (38-39°C). Lower thresholds (39°C, 100°F) or extreme (105.8°F) don't define it. Nurses recognize this critical level, triggering urgent cooling measures to prevent organ damage, per emergency protocols.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: 24-hour urine collection e.g., total daily output assesses glucose and albumin accurately, unlike midstream (spot), postprandial (post-meal), or second void (random). Nurses use this e.g., in diabetes for cumulative protein/sugar levels, per diagnostic protocols.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Schulman and Mekler's moral theory (20th century) measures morality by intent and just acts e.g., Robin Hood's theft is immoral despite intent. Zderad's humanism, Benner's expertise, and Fowler's faith differ. Their focus on kindness and fairness guides nurses e.g., equitable care shaping ethical patient treatment and moral education.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy (1940s) crowns self-actualization realizing potential as mental health's essence e.g., a nurse finding purpose in care. Self-awareness (base), esteem (confidence), and worth (value) build to it. Nursing promotes this peak e.g., meaningful recovery aligning with psychological well-being goals.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Remittent fever fluctuates above normal (38.5-40°C) e.g., typhoid without dropping to baseline. Relapsing (normal intervals), intermittent (to normal), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses track this e.g., six swings for diagnosis, per fever patterns.
