The country where SHUSHURUTU originated

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Shushurutu, an ancient surgical text, originated in India around 1000 BCE, detailing procedures like cataract surgery. Unlike China, Egypt, or Babylonia, India's Ayurvedic tradition birthed this, shaping early medical knowledge. Nursing traces such roots, as ancient practices inform modern care techniques and historical context.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Axillary temperature is safest and least invasive no mucosal entry e.g., armpit placement avoids risks of rectal (perforation), oral (biting), or tympanic (ear damage). Ideal for infants or frail patients, nurses favor it for safety, per non-invasive assessment guidelines.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The right arm is preferred e.g., standard practice unless contraindicated (e.g., IVs). Contraptions (interference), left arm post-right CVA (weakness), or left default don't apply. Nurses choose this e.g., in routine checks for consistency, per clinical guidelines.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Functional nursing thrives with many patients and few nurses by assigning specific tasks e.g., one nurse gives meds, another checks vitals maximizing efficiency. Team nursing uses groups, primary nursing prioritizes one nurse's oversight, and total care demands one-on-one, less feasible here. In busy wards, this task-oriented approach ensures coverage, though it risks fragmentation. Its repetitive nature builds expertise, making it practical when staffing is stretched thin, a common reality in high-demand settings.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Intuitive Period (prehistory-6th century) used trephining skull drilling to expel evil spirits, per Egyptian beliefs e.g., treating seizures as possession. Unlike Dark (religious decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal training), this era relied on instinct, shaping nursing's early, superstition-driven care approaches.
