The last expected process in the stages of inflammation is characterized by

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The stages of inflammation vascular, cellular, and resolution culminate in tissue repair. The last process involves exudates flowing from the site (D), as fluid, immune cells, and debris are cleared to facilitate healing. Sudden redness (A) and increased heat (B) occur early in the vascular phase due to vasodilation. Loss of function (C) may persist but isn't the final step; it's a symptom throughout. Exudate flow (D) marks resolution as inflammation subsides, signaling the transition to repair. This aligns with inflammation's progression from injury response to recovery, making D the correct choice for the terminal phase.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: This must be difficult'¦ for your own good' (A) is non-therapeutic; it dismisses Erik's fear with justification, not empathy. B reflects feelings, C clarifies, and D explores all therapeutic. A's paternal tone, per Rogers, risks shutting down dialogue, making it the incorrect response.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Kardex isn't the primary basis of endorsement (C); it supports, but verbal/written reports lead, per practice. It provides info (A), aids shift reports (B), and lists allergies (D) all true. C's 'primary' overstates, making it untrue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Lydia Hall (D) coined 'nursing process' with three steps observation, ministration, validation per nursing history. Nightingale (A) focused environment, Johnson (B) behavior, Rogers (C) unitary humans. D matches Hall's contribution, making it correct.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Highest temperature occurs late day, 8 P.M.-midnight (A), per circadian rhythm. Lowest is early morning, not noon (B). Thyroxin increases temperature (C), elderly risk hypothermia, not hyperthermia (D). A aligns with biology, making it correct.
