Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The articulation of the mandible and the temporal bone is known as the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Temporomandibular joint. This joint connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone of the skull. It allows for the movement of the jaw for functions like chewing and speaking. A: Intervertebral foramen is incorrect as it is a passage between vertebrae for spinal nerves. B: Condyle of the mandible is incorrect as it is the rounded end of the mandible bone. D: Zygomatic arch of the temporal bone is incorrect as it is a bony arch on the side of the skull.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on preventing osteoporosis to a group of perimenopausal women. Which of these actions is the best way to prevent or delay bone loss in this group?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Performing physical activity, such as fast walking. Physical activity, particularly weight-bearing exercises like fast walking, helps to strengthen bones and prevent bone loss. Weight-bearing activities increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Regular physical activity also improves balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements (choice A) is important but should be combined with physical activity for optimal bone health. Taking medications (choice B) is typically reserved for those at high risk or already diagnosed with osteoporosis. Assessing bone density annually (choice D) is important for monitoring bone health but does not directly prevent bone loss.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has completed the musculoskeletal examination of a patient's knee and has found a positive bulge sign. The nurse interprets this finding to indicate:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Swelling from fluid in the suprapatellar pouch. The bulge sign involves displacing fluid from one side of the knee to the other, indicating fluid accumulation in the suprapatellar pouch. This suggests a possible effusion within the joint. Choices A and B are incorrect as they do not directly relate to fluid accumulation. Choice C is incorrect as the epicondyle is not typically associated with fluid accumulation in the knee joint.
Question 5 of 5
A woman who has had rheumatoid arthritis for years is starting to notice that her fingers are drifting to the side. The nurse knows that this condition is commonly referred to as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ulnar deviation. In rheumatoid arthritis, ulnar deviation occurs due to inflammation and damage to the joints, causing the fingers to drift towards the ulnar side. This deviation is a hallmark feature of rheumatoid arthritis. Radial drift (A) is not a term used in this context. Swan-neck deformity (C) refers to hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal joint and flexion of the distal interphalangeal joint. Dupuytren contracture (D) involves thickening and contracture of the palmar fascia, not finger drift.
