Questions on Immune System Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing nutritional guidance to the parents of a toddler. Which comment by the parent would prompt the nurse to provide additional education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: 1. Leaving meat red in the center indicates undercooked meat, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. 2. Red juices are not a reliable indicator of meat doneness, as harmful bacteria can still be present. 3. Properly cooked meat should reach a safe internal temperature to kill bacteria and prevent foodborne illnesses. Summary: - Choice A is correct as raw oysters can contain harmful bacteria. - Choice C is correct as proper handwashing is essential to prevent the spread of bacteria. - Choice D is correct as using separate utensils for raw meat and other foods reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse should recognize that congestive heart failure (CHF) is which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because congestive heart failure (CHF) is typically a consequence of an underlying cardiac defect, such as hypertension or coronary artery disease, leading to impaired cardiac function. This choice accurately reflects the cause-and-effect relationship between CHF and an existing cardiac issue. Choice A is incorrect because CHF itself is not a disease related to cardiac defects but a condition resulting from them. Choice C is incorrect as CHF is not primarily an inherited disorder. Choice D is incorrect as CHF is not a result of diminished workload but rather an inability of the heart to effectively pump blood.
Question 3 of 5
The parents of a 3-year-old child with congenital heart disease are afraid to let their child play with other children because of possible overexertion. The nurse’s reply should include which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it emphasizes the importance of social development and play for the child's overall well-being. Playing with peers helps the child develop social skills, emotional regulation, and physical abilities. It also promotes a sense of belonging and normalcy. The other choices are incorrect because: - A: Parents meeting all the child's needs may lead to overprotection and hinder the child's independence. - C: Constant parental supervision may limit the child's autonomy and hinder their social interactions. - D: Telling the child that peers' activities are too strenuous may create unnecessary fear and isolation.
Question 4 of 5
An 8-year-old child is hit by a motor vehicle in the school parking lot. The school nurse notes that the child is responding to verbal stimulation but is not moving his extremities when requested. What is the first action the nurse should take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Have someone notify the emergency medical services (EMS) system. This is the most appropriate action because the child's lack of movement in response to requests indicates a potential serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. Calling EMS ensures that the child receives prompt and appropriate care from trained medical professionals. Choice A (Wait for the child’s parents to arrive) is incorrect because in an emergency situation like this, time is crucial, and waiting for parents may delay necessary medical intervention. Choice B (Move the child out of the parking lot) is incorrect because moving the child without proper assessment and stabilization could worsen any potential spinal cord or other injuries. Choice D (Help the child stand to return to play) is incorrect as it ignores the seriousness of the situation and risks further harm to the child. In summary, notifying EMS is the best course of action to ensure the child's safety and well-being in this emergency scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The most abundant type of leukocyte in human peripheral blood is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: neutrophil. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of leukocyte in human peripheral blood, constituting about 40-60% of total leukocytes. They are key players in the innate immune system, involved in phagocytosis and killing of pathogens. Eosinophils (A) and basophils (B) are less abundant than neutrophils. Monocytes (D) are also important in immune responses but are present in lower numbers than neutrophils in peripheral blood.
