Question 5 of 9
Which vaccine is contraindicated in pregnancy :
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vaccines in pregnancy balance maternal-fetal safety. Rubella vaccine (choice A), a live attenuated virus, is contraindicated due to theoretical risks of congenital rubella syndrome if the virus crosses the placenta, though no cases are definitively linked. Diphtheria (choice B) and tetanus (choice C) vaccines, as inactivated toxoids (e.g., Td), are safe and recommended to protect mother and newborn. Hepatitis B vaccine (choice D), an inactivated subunit vaccine, poses no fetal risk and is given if the mother is at risk. A is correct because rubella's live nature excludes it from routine prenatal use. Nurses must counsel pregnant women on vaccine safety, ensuring tetanus protection while avoiding live vaccines like rubella to safeguard fetal development.

Question 7 of 9
Which of the following is TRUE about respiration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Respiratory rate is lowest during sleep (B) due to decreased metabolic demand, per normal physiology. Higher temperature (A) increases rate to meet oxygen needs, not universally true in all contexts. Elderly may have altered breathing (C), but rate doesn't consistently decrease elasticity loss affects depth more. 'All' (D) fails as A and C aren't absolute. B's sleep-related drop is a consistent truth, making it correct based on circadian respiratory patterns.

Rationale: Increased ICP from head trauma manifests as decreased level of consciousness (D), a key sign of brain compression. Vomiting (A) and irritability (B) are early indicators. Hypotension (C) is late, not initial. D is correct for CSV. Rationale: LOC decline reflects worsening ICP, a critical progression requiring immediate action like imaging or decompression, per neurotrauma standards, distinguishing it from earlier symptoms.
