Stage Theories of Health Behavior Questions
Question 1 of 5
In massive blood loss, prompt replacement of compatible blood is crucial. What department needs to be alerted to coordinate closely with the patient's family for immediate blood component therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, the Pathology department. They are responsible for blood banking and transfusion services. They coordinate closely with the patient's family for immediate blood component therapy in cases of massive blood loss. Security Division (A) ensures safety, Chaplaincy (B) provides spiritual support, and Social Service Section (C) assists with social needs, but they do not directly handle blood component therapy coordination in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
It is the responsibility of the pre-op nurse to do skin prep for patients undergoing surgery. If hair at the operative site is not shaved, what should be done to make suturing easy and lessen chance of incision infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clipped. Clipping the hair at the operative site is crucial as it reduces the risk of infection by minimizing bacteria harboring in hair follicles. It also makes suturing easier by providing a clean and clear surgical field. Draping (A) refers to covering the patient with a sterile sheet, which is important but not directly related to hair removal. Pulling (B) can cause trauma to the skin and increase infection risk. Shampooing (D) is not necessary for hair removal before surgery and may not effectively remove hair from the operative site.
Question 3 of 5
Overdosage of medication or anesthetic can happen even with the aid of technology like infusion pumps, sphygmomanometer and similar devices/machines. As a staff, how can you improve the safety of using infusion pumps?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct Answer: D Rationale: 1. Verify the flow rate against your computation: This is crucial to ensure the correct dosage is being administered and prevents overdosage. 2. Checking the functionality of the pump before use (Option A) is important, but directly verifying the flow rate is more specific and critical for safety. 3. Selecting a brand of infusion pump (Option B) is irrelevant to the actual safety procedures of using the pump. 4. Allowing the technician to set the pump (Option C) may lead to errors if the settings are not double-checked by the staff administering the medication.
Question 4 of 5
Skin care around the stoma is critical. Which of the following is not indicated as a skin care barriers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Apply liberal amount of mineral oil to the area. Mineral oil can interfere with the adhesion of the skin barrier, leading to leakage and skin irritation. Using karaya paste and rings (choice B) helps protect the skin around the stoma. Cleaning the area daily with soap and water (choice C) is important for maintaining skin integrity. Talcum powder (choice D) can help absorb moisture and prevent skin irritation, making it a suitable skin care barrier.
Question 5 of 5
You decided to include 5 barangays in your municipality and chose a sampling method that would get representative samples from each barangay. What should be the appropriate method for you to use in this case?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct method to use in this case is C: Stratified sampling. This method divides the population into subgroups (strata) based on certain characteristics (in this case, barangays) and then samples randomly from each stratum. This ensures representation from each barangay, leading to a more accurate overall estimate. Cluster sampling (A) involves dividing the population into clusters and then randomly selecting entire clusters, which may not guarantee representation from each barangay. Random sampling (B) involves selecting individuals randomly from the entire population without considering strata, leading to potential bias. Systematic sampling (D) involves selecting every nth individual from a list, which may not ensure representation from each barangay.
