Question 1 of 5
The physician's orders for a client with acute pancreatitis include the following: strict NPO, NG tube to low intermittent suction. The nurse recognizes that these interventions will:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: NPO and NG suction reduce pancreatic enzyme secretion in acute pancreatitis by minimizing gut stimulation insulin needs, gastric acid, and pain persist. Nurses implement this, resting the pancreas, critical for reducing inflammation and pain in this acute condition.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following foods are recommended for mania patients:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mania, a feature of bipolar disorder, involves hyperactivity and impulsivity, affecting eating habits. Finger foods (choice A) are portable, easy to eat, and suit restless patients who may not sit for meals, providing nutrition without utensils. Liquid foods (choice B) are less practical for high-energy states, better for sedation or dysphagia. Semi-solid foods (choice C) require more effort, while favourite foods (choice D) may encourage intake but aren't specific to mania's needs. A is correct, as finger foods match the patient's behavior, ensuring caloric intake amidst agitation. Nurses must offer such foods, monitor lithium levels if prescribed, and adapt care to mood swings, supporting nutritional stability.
Question 3 of 5
Key features of kangaroo mother care are all of the following EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) supports preterm/low-birth-weight infants. Skin-to-skin contact (choice A) regulates temperature and bonding. Exclusive breastfeeding (choice B) ensures nutrition. Facility initiation with home continuation (choice C) promotes accessibility. Doing it only for cyanotic babies (choice D) is false; KMC benefits all stable preterm infants, not just those with cyanosis (oxygenation issues). D is correct, as it's the exception. Nurses teach KMC, monitor infant stability, and encourage its broad use, enhancing survival and development.
Question 4 of 5
The initial response of tissue after injury is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The initial tissue response to injury is transient vasoconstriction, lasting seconds to minutes, to reduce blood loss by narrowing vessels at the injury site. Immediate vasodilation (A) or transient vasodilation (D) occurs later in inflammation to increase blood flow and deliver immune cells, not initially. Immediate vasoconstriction (C) implies a sustained action, which doesn't fit the brief, temporary nature of this phase. Transient vasoconstriction (B) is followed by vasodilation in the inflammatory process, aligning with the body's hemostatic and healing sequence. This brief vessel narrowing minimizes hemorrhage before the inflammatory cascade begins, making B the precise and correct answer based on physiological response timing.
Question 5 of 5
Nurse Irma saw Roger and told Nurse Aida 'Oh look at that psychotic patient' Nurse Aida should intervene and correct Nurse Irma because her statement shows that she is lacking?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nurse Irma lacks positive regard (B). Labeling Roger as 'that psychotic patient' dehumanizes him, showing judgment, not acceptance. Empathy (A) involves understanding feelings, not absent here. Comfortable sense of self (C) and self-awareness (D) relate to Irma's confidence and reflection, not her attitude toward Roger. Positive regard, per Rogers, requires unconditional acceptance, which Irma violates, prompting Aida's correction, making B correct.
