Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: Including all relevant information in the teaching plan ensures comprehensive education for the patient. Step 2: By selecting all applicable information, the nurse covers a wide range of essential topics related to combined hormonal contraceptives. Step 3: This approach promotes patient understanding, adherence, and empowerment in managing their health. Summary: - Choice B: While important, this option only lists specific symptoms to report, which is not as comprehensive as including all relevant information. - Choice C: Incorrect because combined hormonal contraceptives are generally not recommended for smokers over 35 years due to increased risk of complications. - Choice D: Incorrect as combined hormonal contraceptives do not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
Question 2 of 5
A patient is receiving the drug somatropin. Which drug action will the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Somatropin stimulates growth in long bones at epiphyseal plates by promoting cell division and growth of cartilage in bones. This drug is a synthetic form of human growth hormone, which plays a crucial role in bone growth during childhood and adolescence. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because somatropin does not have antiinflammatory properties, does not directly affect metabolic rate and oxygen consumption, and does not promote water reabsorption from the renal tubules.
Question 3 of 5
A patient is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nurse is aware that which statement is true about this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Heredity and obesity are major causative factors. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is commonly associated with genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors such as obesity. Genetics play a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes, and individuals with a family history of the disease are at higher risk. Obesity can lead to insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Choices A and B are incorrect as type 2 diabetes is more prevalent in adults than in teenagers or young children. Choice D is incorrect as viral infections are not the primary cause of type 2 diabetes.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a patient how to recognize
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it asks which symptoms should be included in the teaching, allowing the patient to recognize various symptoms. Headache (B), nervousness (C), and bradycardia (D) are potential symptoms, but without selecting all that apply (A), the patient might miss important symptoms. Educating on all potential symptoms ensures comprehensive understanding and early recognition of any developing issues.
Question 5 of 5
A type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patient whom you’ve been treating for a couple of years now presents to your clinic complaining about a recent episode of “unexplained†symptoms as stated by your patient. He tells you that he took his daily insulin shot, but was on a hurry so rushed his way to work without eating anything afterwards. When you ask him about the symptoms he experienced, he says that he is not really sure. What do you expect those symptoms to be based on this clinical scenario?
Correct Answer: A+B
Rationale: The correct answer is A (Palpitations) and B (Tremulousness and shaking). In this scenario, the patient took insulin without eating, leading to hypoglycemia. Palpitations occur due to the body's response to low blood sugar, and tremulousness and shaking are common signs of hypoglycemia. Choice C (Decreased sweating) is not typically associated with hypoglycemia. Choice D (None of the above) is incorrect because the patient's symptoms align with hypoglycemia due to skipping a meal after insulin administration.
