Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Respondent superior is a legal doctrine that holds an employer (such as a nurse) responsible for the actions of their employees (such as a barangay health worker) performed within the scope of their employment. In the scenario provided, the nurse delegated tasks to the barangay health worker, making the health worker an agent of the nurse. By closely monitoring the delegated work, the nurse is fulfilling her legal responsibility under the principle of respondent superior to ensure that the health worker performs their duties properly and in accordance with professional standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Reed-Sternberg cells are large, abnormal lymphocytes that are characteristic of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. They are typically found in the affected lymph nodes of individuals with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when examined under a microscope. Identifying Reed-Sternberg cells in a lymph node biopsy is a key diagnostic feature of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. This distinguishes Hodgkin's Lymphoma from other types of lymphomas that do not have Reed-Sternberg cells.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client should be assisted to lie in bed on the unaffected side for a thoracentesis procedure. This position allows for better access to the pleural space for the insertion of a needle to aspirate the fluid or air. Gravity helps to separate the fluid or air, making it closer to the chest wall for easier removal. Additionally, this position reduces the risk of injury to the lung or other structures, as the needle is directed away from these vital structures. Lying on the unaffected side also helps in preventing potential complications and ensures the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Amitriptyline, being a tricyclic antidepressant, commonly causes anticholinergic side effects. These effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, and confusion. Anticholinergic effects are due to the drug's inhibition of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which can lead to the symptoms mentioned above. These side effects can be bothersome for patients taking amitriptyline, but they are generally manageable and often improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. In the case of bulimia treatment, the benefits of using amitriptyline to address the underlying psychological issues often outweigh the side effects.
