Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The cause of death of most AIDS patients who develop multiple opportunistic infections can be attributed to a combination of factors.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Postoperatively in a client with a nasal fracture, a nurse would assess for airway obstruction. Nasal fractures can cause swelling, bleeding, and obstruction of the nasal passages, which could potentially compromise the client's ability to breathe. Monitoring for signs of airway compromise, such as difficulty breathing, stridor, or other respiratory distress, is crucial in the postoperative period to ensure prompt intervention if necessary. Assessing for airway patency is a priority to prevent any serious complications related to impaired breathing. While allergic reaction, extreme sense of smell, or stridor may occur in some cases, airway obstruction is the most critical concern that requires immediate attention to maintain the client's respiratory function.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Egocentric thinking is characteristic of preschool-age children.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse would use the whisper voice test as an initial screening test to determine hearing loss. This test involves the nurse whispering a series of words or numbers from a distance behind the patient to assess their ability to hear and repeat the whispered words accurately. This test is quick, easy, and can be performed in a quiet environment without the need for special equipment, making it an effective initial screening tool for hearing loss. The Romberg test assesses balance, the caloric test evaluates vestibular function, and the otoscopic examination is used to assess the external ear canal and eardrum, but none of these tests specifically assess hearing loss.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can cause a variety of symptoms, including seizures, nausea, and vomiting. When the pressure inside the skull rises, it can put pressure on the brain tissue, leading to changes in normal brain function. Seizures may occur as a result of the altered brain activity. Nausea and vomiting can also be triggered by increased ICP, as the body's natural response to the disturbance in the brain's normal functioning. Therefore, all of the listed options (seizure, nausea, vomiting) can be caused by increased intracranial pressure.
