Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, decreased body temperature and cold intolerance, because these are classic signs of hypothyroidism due to decreased thyroid hormone levels. The body's metabolism slows down, leading to a lower core body temperature and reduced ability to tolerate cold. Exophthalmos and conjunctival redness (choice A) are associated with hyperthyroidism. Flushed, warm, moist skin (choice B) is indicative of hyperthyroidism as well, due to increased metabolic rate. A systolic murmur at the left sternal border (choice C) is not a common finding in hypothyroidism.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Passive immunization. This involves administering pre-formed antibodies to provide immediate protection. In the case of a pregnant client needing temporary protection from chickenpox, passive immunization is necessary as it offers immediate immunity without stimulating the client's immune system. - A (Naturally acquired active immunization): This involves exposure to the pathogen and the body producing its antibodies, which takes time and is not suitable for immediate protection. - B (Artificially acquired passive immunization): This option doesn't involve providing pre-formed antibodies, which are needed for immediate protection. - C (Artificially acquired active immunization): This method requires time for the body to develop its immunity, not providing immediate protection as needed in this scenario.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because asking if the client has strained their voice recently is the most relevant question to assess the issue of hopelessness. Voice strain can be a symptom of underlying emotional distress or mental health concerns, which could be contributing to the client's feelings of hopelessness. Choices A, B, and D are unrelated to the client's presenting issue and would not provide valuable information in addressing the problem at hand.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Balance. Loss of ability in balance can indicate neurological, musculoskeletal, or sensory issues affecting mobility. Speech (B) is related to communication, judgment (C) to decision-making, and endurance (D) to stamina, not specifically to loss of ability. Balance is crucial for mobility and overall function, making it a priority area for assessment in healthcare settings.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because in Addisonian crisis, the client experiences adrenal insufficiency leading to decreased cortisol levels and impaired stress response. Offering extra blankets and raising room temperature helps prevent hypothermia, as clients in crisis are unable to regulate body temperature. Encouraging independence with ADLs (choice A) and ambulation (choice B) are not priorities as the client is in a critical state. Placing the client in a private room (choice D) is not directly related to managing Addisonian crisis.
