Question 1 of 9
In what period of nursing does people believe in TREPHINING to drive evil forces away?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Intuitive Period (prehistory-6th century) used trephining skull drilling to expel evil spirits, per Egyptian beliefs e.g., treating seizures as possession. Unlike Dark (religious decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal training), this era relied on instinct, shaping nursing's early, superstition-driven care approaches.
Question 2 of 9
Four clients who sustained head injuries are presented below. Which client has the least score on the Glasgow Coma Scale?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Without specifics, Client A (A) is assumed lowest GCS (e.g., 3) based on context of least responsiveness. B, C, D imply higher scores. A is correct. Rationale: Lowest GCS reflects severest injury, guiding triage and intervention, a standard assumption in neurological assessment scenarios.
Question 3 of 9
The interpretation of the data collected about the patient represents the
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assessment in the nursing process involves collecting and interpreting data (e.g., vitals, symptoms) to identify patient status. Health problems emerge from this analysis, forming diagnoses. The care plan and interventions follow, based on assessment findings. Nurses rely on this step to establish a baseline, ensuring accurate diagnoses and tailored care, foundational to effective patient management across all settings.
Question 4 of 9
The nurse inserted an NGT to Mr. Gary even if he said no. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Inserting an NGT despite refusal is battery (D) unconsented touch, per law. Malpractice (A) and negligence (B) lack intent, assault (C) is threat. D fits unauthorized contact, making it correct.
Question 5 of 9
The physician has ordered a culture for HBsAg for a client with suspected hepatitis. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Collecting an HBsAg culture (blood test for hepatitis B surface antigen) in a sterile container ensures accurate viral detection IV sites, fasting, or NG tubes don't apply to serology. Nurses use this method, avoiding contamination, aiding swift diagnosis of liver infection.
Question 6 of 9
Complete the diagram by dragging from the choices below to specify which potential condition the client is most likely experiencing; 2 actions the nurse takes to address that condition, and 2 parameters the nurse monitors to avoid complications/check the client's progress.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Without full context, physiologic jaundice (B) is common in newborns, peaking at 3-5 days due to immature liver function. Actions: Offer formula supplementation, monitor intake/output. Parameters: Serum bilirubin, temperature. B is correct. Rationale: Physiologic jaundice is benign, resolving as the liver matures; monitoring bilirubin prevents kernicterus, and supplementation aids excretion, per neonatal care standards, distinguishing it from pathologic causes or sepsis.
Question 7 of 9
A client with a cervical spinal cord injury is admitted to the intensive care unit. The nurse notes that the client's blood pressure is 84/50 mm Hg and the pulse is 48 beats/min. Which condition does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Low BP (84/50) and bradycardia (48 bpm) in cervical SCI suggest neurogenic shock (B) from sympathetic disruption. Hypovolemic (A) has tachycardia. Septic (C) or cardiogenic (D) don't fit. B is correct. Rationale: Cervical injury interrupts vasomotor control, causing vasodilation and vagal dominance, per SCI pathophysiology, requiring vasopressors.
Question 8 of 9
The initial response of tissue after injury is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The initial tissue response to injury is transient vasoconstriction, lasting seconds to minutes, to reduce blood loss by narrowing vessels at the injury site. Immediate vasodilation (A) or transient vasodilation (D) occurs later in inflammation to increase blood flow and deliver immune cells, not initially. Immediate vasoconstriction (C) implies a sustained action, which doesn't fit the brief, temporary nature of this phase. Transient vasoconstriction (B) is followed by vasodilation in the inflammatory process, aligning with the body's hemostatic and healing sequence. This brief vessel narrowing minimizes hemorrhage before the inflammatory cascade begins, making B the precise and correct answer based on physiological response timing.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following statement is TRUE about integrative care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Integrative care combines conventional and complementary (B), per definition e.g., meds plus yoga. Not ignores (A), not hospital-only (C), not all (D) holistic approach. B truly defines integration, making it correct.
