Question 1 of 5

John has a fever of 39.5 degrees 2 days ago, But yesterday, he has a normal temperature of 36.5 degrees. Today, his temperature surges to 40 degrees. What type of fever is John having?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Relapsing fever features high temps (39.5-40°C) with normal periods (36.5°C) e.g., recurring every few days, as in borrelia infections. Intermittent (daily normal), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses note this e.g., two-day gap for infectious disease management, per fever types.

Question 2 of 5

A community health nurse should be resourceful and meet the needs of the client. A villager ask him, Can you test my urine for glucose? Which of the following technique allows the nurse to test a client's urine for glucose without the need for intricate instruments.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Benedict's test e.g., boiling urine with solution, color change detects glucose simply, unlike acetic acid (protein), nitrazine (pH), or litmus (acid/base). Nurses use this e.g., in rural settings for resourcefulness, per basic diagnostic techniques.

This institution shaped early standards e.g., hygiene focus marking a key historical step in Filipino nursing's development.

What country did Florence Nightingale train in nursing?

Correct Answer: C

The characteristic fever in Dengue Virus is characterized as:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Dengue's biphasic fever spike (days 1-3), drop, then rash-phase rise e.g., 39°C, normal, 38°C sets it apart. Tricyclic, bicyclic (undefined), and triphasic (three peaks) don't fit. Nurses monitor this e.g., day 4 drop for critical phase care, per disease profiles.
