Nursing Process Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Rehabilitation plans for Mr. Gabatan;
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer B: Rehabilitation plans for Mr. Gabatan should be considered and planned for early in his care to optimize his recovery and quality of life. Planning early allows for tailored interventions to address his specific needs and goals, promoting better outcomes. Early rehabilitation can also prevent complications and improve functional abilities. By proactively addressing rehabilitation needs, Mr. Gabatan can have a smoother transition back to his daily activities. Summary of Incorrect Choices: A: Leaving the rehabilitation plans solely up to Mr. Gabatan and his family may not consider all aspects of his recovery and could lead to suboptimal outcomes. C: Assuming that Mr. Gabatan will return to his former activities without a rehabilitation plan overlooks the individualized care needed for his recovery. D: Dismissing the need for rehabilitation based on the assumption that he may not be able to work again is premature and does not account for potential improvements in his condition through appropriate rehabilitation interventions.
Question 2 of 5
Which part of the body is supplied by nerves form the thoracic cord?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Trunk. The thoracic cord supplies nerves to the trunk region of the body. The thoracic spinal nerves innervate the chest, abdomen, and back. They control sensation and movement in these areas. The head (A) is mainly supplied by cranial nerves, the pelvis (B) is innervated by lumbar and sacral nerves, and the coccyx (D) is supplied by the sacral nerves. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it aligns with the anatomical distribution of the thoracic spinal nerves.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff. medications might be ordered to help control symptoms of multiple sclerosis, and possibly induce a remission?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct Answer: C - ACTH Rationale: 1. ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) can help control symptoms and induce remission in multiple sclerosis by reducing inflammation. 2. ACTH stimulates the production of cortisol, a natural anti-inflammatory hormone. 3. By reducing inflammation in the central nervous system, ACTH can help manage symptoms and promote remission. Summary of other choices: A: Acyclovir - Antiviral medication used to treat herpes infections, not effective for multiple sclerosis. B: Thyrotropin - Hormone that stimulates thyroid function, not used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. D: Benadryl - Antihistamine used for allergies and itching, not indicated for multiple sclerosis management.
Question 4 of 5
The clinical manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (bradykinesia rigidity and tremors) is directly related to a decreased level of:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Parkinson's disease is characterized by dopamine deficiency in the brain, leading to motor symptoms like bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremors. Dopamine is crucial for controlling movement. Acetylcholine (A) is not directly related to Parkinson's symptoms. Serotonin (B) is involved in mood regulation, not movement control. Phenylalanine (D) is an amino acid and not directly related to Parkinson's pathology. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the emergency room diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. The client has been taking acetaminophen (Tylenol), and acetaminophen overdose is suspected. The nurse anticipates that the antidote to be prescribed is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) is the antidote for acetaminophen overdose. It works by replenishing glutathione, which helps neutralize the toxic metabolite of acetaminophen. Pentostatin, Fludarabine, and Auranofin are not antidotes for acetaminophen overdose and are used for different conditions. Acetylcysteine is the correct choice as it directly counteracts the toxic effects of acetaminophen.
