Question 1 of 5
In planning for the admission of this infant, the nurse's highest priority should be to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When planning for the admission of an infant, the nurse's highest priority should be to turn on the apnea and cardiorespiratory monitors. Monitoring the baby's breathing and heart rate is crucial for assessing the infant's overall condition and detecting any signs of distress. This allows for early intervention if any issues arise and helps ensure the infant's safety and well-being. Once the monitors are on and the baby is stable, other interventions like providing oxygen or setting up an IV line can be addressed. However, monitoring the baby's vital signs takes precedence in ensuring immediate and continuous assessment.
Question 2 of 5
Which tool measures body fat most accurately?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calipers are considered the most accurate tool for measuring body fat percentage when used properly. Calipers work by measuring skinfold thickness at various locations on the body, and this measurement is then used in specific equations to calculate body fat percentage. While the other tools mentioned can provide some insights into body composition, they are not as precise as calipers when it comes to accurately measuring body fat percentage.
Question 3 of 5
Assume you are evaluating the specificity of the indirect fluorescence antibody test for rapid diagnosis of Campylobacter enteritis. The number of normal persons tested is 150 and the test is positive in 30 persons. The specificity of this test is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Specificity = (True negatives / Total normals) * 100 = [(150 - 30) / 150] * 100 = 80%.
Question 4 of 5
all the following are major signs of DM except :
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hyporeflexia (reduced deep tendon reflexes) and bradycardia (slow heart rate) are not typical signs of diabetes mellitus (DM). The major signs of DM are the classic "3 Ps": polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive urination), and polyphagia (excessive hunger). These symptoms are usually due to elevated blood glucose levels leading to increased thirst, frequent urination, and hunger. Additionally, unexplained weight loss can also be a common symptom of DM. Other complications related to DM, such as neuropathy, can lead to issues like hyporeflexia, but they are not considered major signs of DM itself.
Question 5 of 5
Hemolytic disease is suspected in a mother's second newborn. Which factor is important in understanding how this could develop?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemolytic disease of the newborn, also known as erythroblastosis fetalis, is a condition in which a mother's antibodies attack the red blood cells of the unborn baby. This most commonly occurs due to Rh incompatibility. The mother produces Rh antibodies during her first pregnancy with an Rh positive baby. During subsequent pregnancies with an Rh positive baby, these antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the baby's red blood cells, leading to hemolytic disease. Therefore, if the mother's first child was Rh positive, it increases the risk of hemolytic disease in subsequent pregnancies if the babies are also Rh positive.
