Question 1 of 5
Nocturia
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nocturia is the condition of waking up during the night to urinate. The factors associated with it are usually related to Increased nocturnal urine production (2), aging and hormonal changes (3), underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease (5), and medications that can increase urine production or cause fluid retention (6). Therefore, the correct choices are 2, 3, 5, and 6 which align with B.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following tests would the nurse use as an initial screening test to determine hearing loss?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse would use the whisper voice test as an initial screening test to determine hearing loss. This test involves the nurse whispering a series of words or numbers from a distance behind the patient to assess their ability to hear and repeat the whispered words accurately. This test is quick, easy, and can be performed in a quiet environment without the need for special equipment, making it an effective initial screening tool for hearing loss. The Romberg test assesses balance, the caloric test evaluates vestibular function, and the otoscopic examination is used to assess the external ear canal and eardrum, but none of these tests specifically assess hearing loss.
Question 3 of 5
A client is in isolation after receiving an internal radioactive implant to treat cancer. Two hours later, the nurse discovers the implant in the bed linens. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should first pick up the internal radioactive implant with long-handled forceps and place it in a lead-lined container. This action ensures the safety of the nurse and prevents further exposure to radiation. Handling the implant with forceps helps minimize direct contact, and placing it in a lead-lined container containing the radiation will effectively shield any further exposure. Once the implant is secured, proper authorities should be notified to take further action and ensure the client's safety.
Question 4 of 5
is type of hydrocephalus which there no obstructive to pass CSF but malformation of arachnoid villi :
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Communicating hydrocephalus is a type of hydrocephalus where there is no obstruction to the passage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but rather a malfunction or malformation of the arachnoid villi, which are responsible for the reabsorption of CSF. In communicating hydrocephalus, the flow of CSF within the ventricular system is disrupted, leading to an accumulation of fluid and resulting in increased intracranial pressure.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a newborn whose mother is diabetic. Which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to see?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Infants born to mothers with diabetes, especially uncontrolled diabetes, are at risk for hypoglycemia due to exposure to high glucose levels in utero. The infant's pancreas may have been producing high levels of insulin in response to the mother's high blood glucose levels, leading to hypoglycemia after birth. Additionally, these infants are typically smaller for gestational age (SGA) due to the effects of high blood sugar levels on fetal growth. Therefore, the nurse should expect the newborn of a mother with diabetes to exhibit signs of hypoglycemia and be small for gestational age.
