Question 1 of 5
The following best describes the method of action of
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct method of action for medications used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease is to reduce acid secretions. Peptic ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between the stomach acid and the protective mechanisms of the gastrointestinal lining. By reducing acid secretions, these medications help to promote healing of the ulcer and prevent further damage to the stomach lining. Neutralizing acid (choice B) can also be a method of treatment, but reducing acid secretions is a more direct approach. Stimulating gastrin release (choice D) would increase acid production, which is not desired in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Protecting the mucosal barrier (choice E) is important for preventing ulcers, but it is not the primary method of action for medications used in treatment.

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer routine, recommended
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most important information to know before administering a vaccination is whether the child has any contraindications or precautions to receiving the vaccine. As a healthcare provider, it is essential to assess the child's medical history, including allergies, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, current health status, and any recent treatments or medications that could interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness or pose a risk. By understanding this information, the nurse can ensure the safe and appropriate administration of the vaccine and help prevent any potential negative outcomes for the child.
Question 4 of 5
It would be of greatest priority to notify the health care provider if a live vaccine was prescribed for a person in which situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: It would be of greatest priority to notify the health care provider if a live vaccine was prescribed for a patient undergoing chemotherapy. Live vaccines contain weakened forms of the virus or bacteria they are targeting, which can potentially cause an infection in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy. Administering a live vaccine to a patient undergoing chemotherapy could lead to serious complications, as the patient's weakened immune system may not be able to handle the live virus or bacteria in the vaccine. Therefore, it is crucial to inform the healthcare provider about the patient's ongoing chemotherapy treatment to avoid any unnecessary risks and ensure the patient's safety.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse, working with a preconceptional couple at an infertility clinic, advises the woman to take which supplement for at least 3 months before becoming pregnant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse is advising the woman to take folic acid for at least 3 months before becoming pregnant. Folic acid is a B vitamin that is crucial for the healthy development of the baby's neural tube, which eventually becomes the brain and spinal cord. Adequate folic acid intake before pregnancy and during early pregnancy can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the baby. Therefore, it is recommended for women to start taking folic acid supplements or consume foods rich in folic acid before conception to ensure optimal levels are present in the body when the baby's neural tube is forming.
