Hypoxia (D) is a condition of low oxygen levels in the body, not related to coughing up blood.
Question 2 of 5
A(n) _____________ disease is a disease in which the body is unable to recognize its own tissue.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Autoimmune. In autoimmune diseases, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, considering them as foreign invaders. This leads to inflammation and damage to the body's own cells and tissues. This is different from opportunistic diseases (A), which take advantage of a weakened immune system, progressive diseases (B) that worsen over time but do not involve immune system dysfunction, and infectious diseases (D) caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Therefore, the inability of the body to recognize its own tissue characterizes autoimmune diseases specifically, making C the correct choice.

Rigor mortis (choice A) is the stiffening of muscles after death, Livor mortis (choice C) is the pooling of blood in the dependent parts of the body, and Algae mortis (choice D) is not a valid term in forensic science. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it specifically relates to the cooling process after death.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the surgical consent with the patient during preoperative education and finds the patient does not understand what procedure will be completed. What is the nurse's best next step?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Notify the health care provider about the patient's question. The nurse's best next step is to ensure that the patient fully understands the procedure before proceeding with obtaining consent. By notifying the healthcare provider, the nurse can facilitate clear communication between the provider and the patient to address any misunderstandings and clarify information. This step promotes patient autonomy, informed decision-making, and patient safety. Summary: - B: Explaining the procedure directly may not address the underlying issue of the patient's lack of understanding. - C: Continuing preoperative education without addressing the patient's misunderstanding may lead to further confusion. - D: Asking the patient to sign the form without resolving the misunderstanding would not align with informed consent principles.
