Oxygen is taken in, and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body through breathing. Carbon dioxide is a waste product produced by cells during cellular respiration. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because nitrogen is not directly involved in the respiratory process, hydrogen is not a major component of respiration, and carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that interferes with oxygen transport in the body.
Question 2 of 5
Which mineral required for proper thyroid gland function is found in common table salt?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. 2. Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, growth, and development. 3. Common table salt is often iodized to prevent iodine deficiency. 4. Potassium, Magnesium, and Copper do not play a direct role in thyroid function. Summary: - Choice A, Potassium, is important for heart and muscle function. - Choice B, Magnesium, is crucial for nerve and muscle function. - Choice D, Copper, is needed for red blood cell production.
Question 3 of 5
A type of device used to help a disabled person perform activities of daily living is a(n)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assistive device. Assistive devices are designed to help disabled individuals perform daily tasks independently. They can range from simple tools to complex technology. Orthotic devices (A) provide support or correct alignment, not necessarily for daily tasks. Restorative devices (C) aim to restore function rather than assist in daily living. Range of motion devices (D) focus on improving mobility, not specifically aiding in daily activities. Therefore, B is the best choice for devices that facilitate activities of daily living for disabled individuals.
Question 4 of 5
What is the period of time following a loss in which mourning occurs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Bereavement. Bereavement refers to the period of time following a loss during which mourning occurs. It is a natural process of grieving and adjusting to the loss. Breakthrough (A) refers to a sudden significant development or discovery, unrelated to mourning. Burnout (B) is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion due to prolonged stress or overwork. Blackout (D) refers to a loss of consciousness or memory, not related to mourning. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it specifically relates to the period of mourning following a loss.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse and the nursing assistive personnel (NAP) are caring for a group of postoperative patients who need turning, coughing, deep breathing, incentive spirometer, and leg exercises. Which task will the nurse assign to the NAP?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it involves a task appropriate for the nursing assistive personnel (NAP) that aligns with their scope of practice. Here's the rationale: 1. NAP can inform the nurse if the patient is unwilling to perform exercises as it requires observation and communication, fitting their role. 2. Teaching postoperative exercises (choice A) involves providing instructions and guidance, which is typically within the nurse's scope of practice. 3. Doing nothing associated with postoperative exercises (choice B) is not appropriate and goes against the principles of patient care. 4. Documenting in the medical record (choice C) requires critical thinking and decision-making skills, typically done by nurses rather than NAP.
