Question 1 of 5
The nurse planning a safety program for high school students should understand that most accidental deaths in adolescence are related to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Automobiles (C) are the leading cause of adolescent accidental death due to driving risks. Firearms (A), diving (B), and drowning (D) are less frequent. Document: 'The chief safety hazard for the adolescent is automobiles.'
Question 2 of 5
The period that refers to the initial stage of a disease between the earliest symptoms and the appearance of the rash or fever is the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prodromal period (C) is the early symptomatic phase before rash/fever. Incubation (A) is pre-symptomatic, infectious (B) overlaps, and stage one (D) is unrelated. Document: 'The prodromal period… between the earliest symptoms and… rash or fever.'
Question 3 of 5
What is the inheritance pattern of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is caused by mutations in the AR gene on the X chromosome, following an X-linked recessive pattern (Choice D). Phenotypic females (46,XY) inherit a mutated X from carrier mothers, with males unaffected as they have one X. Autosomal dominant (Choice A) and recessive (Choice B) don’t apply to X-linked traits. Mitochondrial (Choice C) involves maternal transmission, unrelated here. X-linked recessive fits CAIS’s genetics.
Question 4 of 5
An 11-year-old girl with systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis appears with fever, lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly. The blood test reveals anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. This is most likely due to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Macrophage activation syndrome is a severe complication of systemic JIA, marked by fever, organomegaly, and cytopenias from hemophagocytosis (EULAR criteria). Viral syndrome lacks specificity, hemolytic anemia doesn’t fit all findings, spleen failure is unclear, and DIC requires coagulopathy evidence.
Question 5 of 5
Phosphorus moves into the intracellular space resulting in hypophosphatemia in the following condition:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Respiratory alkalosis shifts phosphorus intracellularly due to alkalemia, lowering serum levels (UpToDate). Acidosis (A, D) shifts it out, and B, E have minimal effect.
