She dies of yellow fever in her search for truth to prove that yellow fever is carried by a mosquitoes.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Clara Louise Maas, in 1901, died proving yellow fever's mosquito transmission by volunteering for bites, advancing epidemiology. Unlike Tucker, Robb (educator), or Hampton Robb (surgical pioneer), her sacrifice dying at 25 directly impacted public health, a heroic legacy in nursing research history.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas founded the Philippine Nurses Association in 1922, advancing Filipino nursing's professional status e.g., advocating licensure. Sotejo, Octaviano, and Dionisio contributed differently. Her leadership at PGH and PNA shaped national standards, a key historical milestone in local nursing.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the body raises its setpoint. Hot, flushed skin (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this initial response e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per fever physiology.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Defervescence, fever's decline, involves vasodilation and sweating e.g., cooling as heat dissipates. Delirium (high fever), goose flesh (chills), or cyanosis (hypoxia) don't fit. Nurses anticipate sweating e.g., damp sheets in Marianne, adjusting care for comfort, per fever resolution stages.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Females over 65 often have higher BP e.g., post-menopause than males, not lower, contradicting Aida's rise. Diabetes (vessel damage), morning peaks (circadian), and African risk (genetics) align. Nurses note this e.g., in elderly diabetics for accurate hypertension management.
