Question 2 of 5
What is cellulitis often caused by?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cellulitis is a common skin infection that is often caused by bacteria, primarily Streptococcus or Staphylococcus organisms. These bacteria typically enter the skin through a crack or break, such as a cut, insect bite, or scratch. Once inside the skin, they can cause inflammation and infection, leading to symptoms such as redness, warmth, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is essential to clear the infection and prevent complications.
Question 3 of 5
An African client has been diagnosed with Osteomyelitis. The nurse expects to assess which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone often caused by bacteria. When a client is diagnosed with Osteomyelitis, the nurse would expect to assess for positive wound cultures. This means that the wound site is likely to show growth of infectious organisms, confirming the presence of infection in the bone. A positive wound culture result helps guide appropriate antibiotic therapy to treat the infection effectively. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate assessment finding to expect in a client diagnosed with Osteomyelitis.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is conducting a staff in-service on newborn defects of the genitourinary system. Which describes the narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Phimosis is the term used to describe the narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin in males. This condition does not allow the foreskin to be fully retracted over the head of the penis, which can cause issues with hygiene and potentially lead to infections. Phimosis can occur in newborns and also persist into adulthood if not treated. It is important for healthcare providers, including nurses, to be aware of this condition in order to provide appropriate education and intervention when needed.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the ff. would the nurse explain to the patient is the triad of symptoms associated with Meniere's disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by the triad of symptoms including hearing loss, vertigo (a spinning sensation), and tinnitus (ringing in the ear). These symptoms can occur episodically and may be associated with a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. Other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may sometimes accompany the episodes of vertigo, but the classic triad of Meniere's disease consists of hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. Nystagmus, headache, and pain are not typically part of the classic presentation of Meniere's disease.
