Question 1 of 5
Laboratory findings consistent with acute glomerulonephritis include all of the following except :
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to kidney dysfunction. Common laboratory findings consistent with acute glomerulonephritis include hematuria (blood in the urine), proteinuria (protein in the urine), and white cell casts (indicative of inflammation in the kidney tubules). Polyuria, which refers to excessive urination, is not a typical laboratory finding associated with acute glomerulonephritis. Instead, patients with acute glomerulonephritis often present with oliguria or reduced urine output due to impaired kidney function. Therefore, polyuria is not consistent with the typical laboratory findings of acute glomerulonephritis.
Question 2 of 5
the vital sign that the nurse should most certainly check before administering digoxin is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Before administering digoxin, it is crucial for the nurse to check the patient's pulse rate. Digoxin is a medication commonly used to treat heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure by increasing the strength and efficiency of the heart's contractions. However, digoxin can also cause adverse effects such as bradycardia (slow heart rate) or heart block. Therefore, it is important to assess the patient's pulse rate to ensure that it is within the safe range before administering digoxin.
Question 3 of 5
At the time of birth, what is the grayish white, cheeselike substance that normally covers the newborn's skin called?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vernix caseosa is the grayish white, cheeselike substance that normally covers a newborn's skin at the time of birth. It is a natural substance produced by the baby's skin glands while in the womb. Vernix caseosa helps protect the baby's delicate skin from the amniotic fluid in the uterus and acts as a moisturizer as well. It also has antimicrobial properties, providing a barrier against infection. After birth, healthcare providers typically wipe off or gently wash the vernix from the baby's skin during the first bath.

Question 5 of 5
Which is usually the only symptom of pediculosis capitis (head lice)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most common symptom of pediculosis capitis, also known as head lice infestation, is itching of the scalp. Head lice feed on blood from the scalp, leading to irritation and allergic reactions, causing itching. Itching is often more prominent behind the ears and at the nape of the neck where head lice tend to lay their eggs (nits). While secondary symptoms such as scalp rash, vesicles, and localized inflammatory responses can occur due to scratching or allergic reactions, itching is typically the initial and predominant symptom of head lice infestation.
