Question 1 of 5
The characteristic fever in Dengue Virus is characterized as:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dengue fever's biphasic pattern initial spike (days 1-3), brief normalcy, then rash-phase rise e.g., 39°C, drop, 38°C distinguishes it. Tricyclic, bicyclic (undefined), and triphasic (three peaks) don't fit. Nurses monitor this e.g., day 4 drop for critical phase intervention, per infectious disease profiles.
Question 2 of 5
What best describes nurses as a care provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nurses as care providers begin by determining client needs, the cornerstone of the nursing process. This involves assessing conditions such as identifying dehydration in a feverish patient before delivering care like fluids. Providing direct care is an outcome of this, while psychological support and collaboration are specific aspects, not the defining role. For example, a nurse first assesses shortness of breath to decide on oxygen therapy, ensuring interventions are tailored. This foundational step, rooted in frameworks like Gordon's, ensures care is systematic and effective, distinguishing nursing from reactive or uncoordinated efforts in healthcare delivery.
Question 3 of 5
She was the daughter of Hungarian kings, who feed 300-900 people everyday in their gate, builds hospitals, and care of the poor and sick herself.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Saint Elizabeth of Hungary (13th century), a princess, fed hundreds daily and built hospitals e.g., using wealth for charity. Unlike Catherine (lamp lady), Nightingale (modern nurse), or Gamp (fictional), she's nursing's patron saint, her altruism inspiring early caregiving traditions in Christian nursing history.
Question 4 of 5
One of the expectations is for nurses to join professional association primarily because of
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Professional associations like the PNA promote growth e.g., training, certifications enhancing skills and standards. Fundraising, networking, or job aid are secondary. This focus, rooted in nursing's professionalization, ensures competence and leadership, vital for career and patient care quality.
Question 5 of 5
What can you expect from Marianne, who is currently at the ONSET stage of fever?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the setpoint rises. Hot/flushed (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per physiology.
