Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most common site of cancer for a female is the uterine cervix. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. It is primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Regular Pap smears can help detect precancerous changes in the cervix early, making it a preventable and treatable cancer if caught early. It is important for nurses to educate their clients on the importance of routine screenings and HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer.
Question 2 of 9
Veronica's parents were told that their daughter needs ribavirin (Virazole). This drug is used to treat which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ribavirin (Virazole) is an antiviral medication used to treat severe cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in infants, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. RSV is a common virus that causes respiratory infections in people of all ages, but it can be particularly severe in young children and individuals with weakened immune systems. Ribavirin works by preventing the virus from replicating and spreading further in the body, helping to reduce the severity and duration of RSV infection. It is not used to treat cystic fibrosis, otitis media, or bronchitis.

Question 7 of 9
A client has undergone a nephrectomy and is placed under observation after a urethral catheter insertion. As part of the nursing care plan, the nurse records the color of drainage from each tube and catheter. Which of the ff is the reason for this?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Recording the color of drainage from each tube and catheter is crucial in the nursing care plan as it provides a means for further comparison and evaluation. Changes in the color of drainage can indicate potential issues such as infection, bleeding, or other complications post-surgery. By monitoring the color of drainage, the nurse can identify any abnormal changes early on and take appropriate actions to address them promptly. This practice helps in assessing the patient's condition and ensuring optimal recovery and healing after the surgery.
Question 8 of 9
Mr. Ramos consulted at the health center for follow up after one month of Isoniazid and Rifampicin. Which diagnostic test will have an abnormal result if the client is taking these medications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The client is taking Isoniazid and Rifampicin, which are two common first-line medications prescribed for the treatment of tuberculosis. Both of these drugs can potentially cause liver toxicity as a side effect. Therefore, the diagnostic test that is most likely to have an abnormal result if the client is taking these medications is the liver function tests. These tests include parameters such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and bilirubin levels, which can indicate liver damage or dysfunction. Monitoring liver function is essential during treatment with these medications to detect any hepatic adverse effects early and make appropriate management decisions.
Question 9 of 9
When a child injures the epiphyseal plate from a fracture, the damage may result in which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is the area of growing tissue near the ends of the long bones in children and adolescents. It is crucial for bone growth and development. When a child injures the epiphyseal plate from a fracture, the damage can disrupt the normal growth process of the bone. This disruption can lead to unequal limb length, angular deformities, or other growth abnormalities. Therefore, the damage resulting from an injury to the epiphyseal plate may lead to bone growth disruption. Choices A, B, and C are not directly associated with epiphyseal plate injuries.
