Question 3 of 5
Which is the person/service that can successfully care for a bedbound dependent person at home?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A bedbound patient requires comprehensive medical oversight, which a home medical team (doctors, nurses) provides. Caregivers or interim services lack the clinical scope, and nursing alone may not suffice.
Question 4 of 5
An eleven-month-old infant is brought to the pediatric clinic. The nurse suspects that the child has iron deficiency anemia. Because iron deficiency anemia is suspected, which of the following is the most important information to obtain from the infant's parents?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Iron deficiency anemia occurs commonly in children 6 to 24 months of age. For the first 4 to 5 months of infancy iron stores laid down for the baby during pregnancy are adequate. When fetal iron stores are depleted, supplemental dietary iron needs to be supplied to meet the infant's rapid growth needs. Iron deficiency may occur in the infant who drinks mostly milk, which contains no iron, and does not receive adequate dietary iron or supplemental iron.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following drugs does NOT cause enhanced activity of the GABA receptor?
