Question 1 of 5
The client is on NPO post midnight. Which of the following, if done by the client, is sufficient to cancel the operation in the morning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: NPO (nothing by mouth) post-midnight ensures an empty stomach for surgery to prevent aspiration. Smoking at 3:00 A.M (D) violates NPO, as it involves inhalation and can stimulate gastric secretions, posing risks. Eating at 10:00 P.M (A) or drinking at 11:50 P.M (B) occur before midnight, adhering to NPO. Brushing teeth (C) doesn't involve ingestion. Smoking's timing and physiological impact breach NPO, potentially necessitating cancellation, making D the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5
Exchange of gases takes place in which of the following organ?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gas exchange refers to the physiological process where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is expelled from it, occurring primarily in the lungs (B). This happens in the alveoli, tiny air sacs where oxygen diffuses into pulmonary capillaries and carbon dioxide moves out to be exhaled. The kidneys (A) regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, not gas exchange. The liver (C) metabolizes nutrients and detoxifies substances but has no role in respiration. The heart (D) pumps blood, facilitating circulation, but does not perform gas exchange. The lungs' unique structure alveoli surrounded by capillaries enables efficient diffusion driven by concentration gradients, making B the correct answer. This process is vital for oxygenation of tissues and removal of metabolic waste, underscoring the lungs' respiratory function.
