Question 2 of 5
The adrenal cortex is responsible for producing which substances?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The adrenal cortex is the outer portion of the adrenal glands and is responsible for producing hormones known as corticosteroids. Within the corticosteroids, the adrenal cortex produces glucocorticoids (such as cortisol) which are involved in regulating metabolism and the immune response. Additionally, the adrenal cortex produces androgens which are male sex hormones, although they are present in both males and females. Therefore, the correct substances produced by the adrenal cortex are glucocorticoids and androgens (Choice A).
Question 3 of 5
A healthy, stable, preterm newborn will soon be discharged. The nurse should recommend which position for sleep?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should recommend placing the healthy, stable, preterm newborn in the supine position for sleep. This is the current recommendation to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) per the American Academy of Pediatrics. Placing the infant on their back to sleep helps ensure an open airway and reduces the risk of suffocation or SIDS. It is important to adhere to safe sleep practices to promote the infant's well-being and reduce the risk of sleep-related incidents.
Question 4 of 5
The nursing staff has a team conference on AIDS and discusses the routes of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HSV). The discussion reveals that an individual has no risk of exposure to HIV when that individual;
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. An individual has no risk of exposure to HIV when they limit sexual contact to those without HIV antibodies. This is because HIV is primarily transmitted through contact with body fluids such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk of an infected person. If an individual only engages in sexual activities with people who do not have HIV antibodies, the risk of exposure to the virus is significantly reduced. It is important to note that although this reduces the risk, it does not completely eliminate it, as there is still a chance of transmission through other means such as sharing needles or from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
