Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with a history of a fractured pelvis. Six months after the injury, the client continues to complain of pain at the site. This is most likely due to:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Improper alignment during healing likely causes persistent pain six months post-pelvic fracture, as misalignment stresses healed bone scar tissue, infection, or psychosomatic pain are less common. Nurses assess, suggesting imaging, aiding pain management in recovery.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is preparing to administer heparin via subcutaneous injection. The nurse should:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Using a 1-inch needle ensures heparin reaches subcutaneous tissue aspiration risks bleeding, massage disperses drug (avoided), and upper arm isn't ideal (abdomen is). Nurses use proper depth, minimizing bruising, key for anticoagulation therapy.

Question 3 of 5

Bell's palsy is due to the injuries of which cranial nerve :

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Bell's palsy causes unilateral facial weakness due to cranial nerve dysfunction. The trigeminal nerve (choice A, CN V) controls sensation and chewing, not facial movement. The trochlear nerve (choice B, CN IV) moves the eye, irrelevant here. The facial nerve (choice C, CN VII) innervates facial muscles; its injury (often idiopathic or viral) leads to Bell's palsy, with symptoms like drooping mouth or eye. The hypoglossal nerve (choice D, CN XII) moves the tongue. C is correct, as facial nerve damage is the established cause. Nurses assess symmetry, support eye care (due to incomplete closure), and educate on recovery, typically spontaneous within months.

Question 4 of 5

Among the following all are the components of GOBI F3; EXCEPT:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: GOBI F3 (UNICEF) promotes child health: Growth monitoring, Oral rehydration, Breastfeeding, Immunization (choice C), Female education (choice B), Family planning, Food supplements (choice D). Female feticide (choice A), illegal and harmful, isn't part of this initiative. A is correct, the exception. Nurses advocate GOBI F3, deliver vaccines, and teach nutrition, enhancing child survival.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following WBC component proliferates in cases of Anaphylaxis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, eosinophils (C) proliferate due to their role in combating allergens and parasites via histamine release and inflammation modulation. Neutrophils (A) focus on bacterial infections, not allergies. Basophils (B) release histamine too, but their numbers don't surge as eosinophils do in allergic states; they initiate the response. Monocytes (D) handle chronic inflammation, not acute hypersensitivity. Eosinophils rise in blood and tissues during anaphylaxis, reflecting their specialization in allergic conditions, making C the correct answer based on immunological specificity.
