Question 1 of 5
In a patient receiving pressure support ventilation, pressure support breaths are triggered by which of the following preset factors?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse explains the pain relief measures available after surgery during preoperative teaching for a surgical patient. Which comment from the patient indicates the need for additional education on this topic?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it demonstrates a misconception about pain management after surgery. Anesthesia wears off, and patients may experience pain postoperatively. Choice A shows understanding of pain assessment. Choice C indicates following the provider's instructions. Choice D highlights the importance of pain management before engaging in activities.
Question 3 of 5
When treating an adult patient for a mild allergic reaction, with no respiratory distress or dyspnea, which medication is routinely administered either IM or IV for the treatment of an allergic reaction?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Diphenhydramine. In mild allergic reactions without respiratory distress, antihistamines like diphenhydramine are commonly administered to relieve symptoms such as itching, hives, and swelling. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions. Epinephrine (choice A) is typically reserved for severe allergic reactions with respiratory distress. Methylprednisolone (choice B) is a corticosteroid used for more severe allergic reactions or inflammation. Albuterol (choice C) is a bronchodilator used for asthma or respiratory distress, not typically indicated for mild allergic reactions.
Question 4 of 5
You suspect your adult chest pain patient may be experiencing the onset of a myocardial infarction. Which of the following medical conditions may mask the severity of the infarction by suppressing the normal ST elevation often seen in onset myocardial infarctions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Diabetes. In patients with diabetes, the autonomic neuropathy can suppress the normal ST elevation seen in myocardial infarctions by affecting the transmission of pain signals from the heart. This can delay or mask the symptoms of a heart attack, leading to a potential delay in seeking medical treatment. Pleurisy (A) is inflammation of the lining of the lungs and chest that typically presents with sharp chest pain worsened by breathing or coughing, which is different from the symptoms of a heart attack. Chronic hypertension (C) can lead to heart disease but does not typically mask ST elevation in myocardial infarctions. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (D) can cause chest pain but does not directly suppress the ST elevation seen in heart attacks.
Question 5 of 5
When forced to deal with a fire, which type of fire extinguisher would be most effective for suppressing ordinary combustible material that smells like gasoline?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Type B fire extinguisher. Gasoline falls under Class B fires, involving flammable liquids such as gasoline. Type B fire extinguishers are specifically designed to suppress fires involving flammable liquids and gases. They typically contain dry chemical agents like sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate, which work by smothering the fire and interrupting the chemical reaction. A: ABC all-purpose fire extinguisher is suitable for multiple types of fires but may not be as effective for Class B fires involving flammable liquids like gasoline. C: Class C fire extinguisher is designed for electrical fires, not for fires involving flammable liquids. D: Type A fire extinguisher is not a standard classification and does not exist in fire extinguisher ratings.
