Question 1 of 5
The ________ cerebral hemisphere of the brain controls the motor activity on the right side of the body.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Left. The left cerebral hemisphere controls the motor activity on the right side of the body due to contralateral organization in the brain. This means that the left hemisphere is responsible for controlling the opposite side of the body. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. The other choices (A: Right, B: Middle, C: Spinal) are incorrect as they do not align with the known lateralization of motor functions in the brain.
Question 2 of 5
When a joint is extended beyond its normal motion it is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a joint is extended beyond its normal motion, it is termed as hyperextension. This occurs when the joint is moved past its anatomical position in extension. Flexion (choice A) is the bending of a joint, opposed (choice B) is not a term related to joint movement, and pronation (choice C) refers to the rotation of the forearm or foot. Therefore, the correct answer is D as it accurately describes the situation where a joint is extended beyond its normal range of motion.
Question 3 of 5
The term _______________ means an examination by a pathologist to determine cause of death
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Autopsy. An autopsy is a thorough examination of a body by a pathologist to determine the cause of death. Atrophy (A) refers to a decrease in cell size or tissue, not related to a postmortem examination. Anatomy (B) is the study of the structure of living organisms, not specific to determining cause of death. Avulsion (D) is the tearing away of a body part, also not related to a postmortem examination. Autopsy is the only term directly linked to the process of examining a body after death to determine the cause of death.
Question 4 of 5
Employers are required to provide _____________ vaccines free of charge to employees.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Hepatitis B is a workplace hazard due to potential exposure to blood and bodily fluids. 2. OSHA requires employers to offer Hepatitis B vaccines to at-risk employees free of charge. 3. This is to prevent occupational transmission of the virus. 4. Measles, Ebola, and Malaria are not typically transmitted in the workplace. Summary: Choice C (Hepatitis B) is correct as it aligns with OSHA regulations and workplace safety. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are not mandatory vaccines in the workplace setting.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to assist the patient in using the incentive spirometer. Which nursing intervention should the nurse provide first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform hand hygiene. This should be the first intervention because it ensures patient safety by preventing the spread of infection. Before any patient interaction, proper hand hygiene is essential. Choice B, explaining the use of the mouthpiece, can come after hand hygiene to ensure aseptic technique. Choice C, instructing the patient to inhale slowly, is important but should come after the initial hand hygiene step. Choice D, placing the patient in the reverse Trendelenburg position, is not necessary for using an incentive spirometer and is not the priority at this time.
