John has a fever of 38.5 Deg. Celsius. It surges at around 40 Degrees and go back to 38.5 degrees 6 times today in a typical pattern. What kind of fever is John having?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Remittent fever fluctuates above normal (e.g., 38.5-40°C) without returning to baseline common in infections like typhoid. Relapsing (normal intervals), intermittent (spikes to normal), and constant (stable high) differ. Nurses track this pattern e.g., six daily swings for diagnosis and treatment, per fever classification.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Clamping above the port 30-60 minutes e.g., pooling fresh urine ensures an accurate sample, unlike below (stagnant) or short times (insufficient). Nurses perform this e.g., sterile syringe for reliable catheter specimens, per infection control and lab standards.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: James Fowler's faith development theory (1980s) views faith as a spiritual, relational force giving meaning e.g., trust in a nurse reflects this. Gilligan's care, Westerhoff's behavior, and Freud's drives differ. Fowler's stages intuitive to universalizing aid nurses in addressing spiritual needs, like meaning in illness, enriching patient care.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Nightingale was born 1820, not 1840 living to 90, she founded St. Thomas' in 1860 (age 40), wrote 'Notes on Nursing' (1859), and 'Notes on Hospitals.' The 1840 birth is false; her early work shaped her Crimean impact, cementing her as nursing's pioneer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Intermittent fever spikes (38.9°C) and drops to normal (36.5°C) daily e.g., malaria. Relapsing (days apart), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses time this e.g., 10-hour normalcy for treatment, per fever periodicity.
