Question 1 of 5
__________ is warmth,itching or tingling from a body part that has been amputated.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Phantom sensation. Phantom sensation refers to the warmth, itching, or tingling felt in a body part that has been amputated. This phenomenon occurs due to the brain still receiving signals from the nerves that used to be connected to the now missing body part. Osteoporosis (A) is a condition characterized by weakening of bones, not related to sensations in amputated limbs. Bursitis (B) is inflammation of the bursae, not associated with phantom sensations. Osteoarthritis (D) is a degenerative joint disease, not related to sensations in amputated limbs.

What is one type of autoimmune disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rheumatoid arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation and joint damage. Hypothyroidism (Choice A) is a thyroid disorder, not an autoimmune disease. Hepatitis (Choice C) is a viral infection affecting the liver. Gonorrhea (Choice D) is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection, not an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthritis fits the criteria of an autoimmune disease as it involves the immune system attacking the body's own tissues.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gastric suctioning. Gastric suctioning involves removing toxins from the stomach by inserting a tube through the nose or mouth. This method is effective in removing ingested poisons before they are absorbed into the bloodstream. Bladder suctioning (A), endotracheal suctioning (C), and intravenous suctioning (D) are not appropriate methods for removing toxins from the body. Bladder suctioning is for draining urine, endotracheal suctioning is for clearing secretions from the airway, and intravenous suctioning does not exist as a valid medical procedure.

This can help in developing coping strategies and creating a healthier work environment. Talking to a resident about her stress (choice A) may not be appropriate as it can blur professional boundaries. Multitasking excessively (choice C) can lead to increased stress and decreased efficiency. Increasing caffeine intake (choice D) is not a healthy or sustainable way to manage stress.
