Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The global program that aims to end poverty and protect the planet is known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The goals address a wide range of social, economic, and environmental challenges that the world faces, including poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water, and energy. By achieving the SDGs, countries can work together to create a more sustainable and equitable world for present and future generations.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following dental conditions is characterized by inflammation and destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Periodontitis is the dental condition characterized by inflammation and destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. It is usually caused by untreated gingivitis, where plaque buildup along the gumline leads to bacterial infection and inflammation, resulting in destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and other complications. Gingivitis, on the other hand, is inflammation of the gums without involvement of the supporting structures, while dental caries refer to tooth decay or cavities in the enamel. Dental abscess is a localized collection of pus caused by a bacterial infection.

Cultural competence is the process of
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cultural competence is the process of acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes to effectively work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. It involves understanding and respecting the values, beliefs, languages, and practices of different cultures in order to provide appropriate care and services. Cultural competence goes beyond just learning about different cultures; it requires the development of skills and attitudes that promote effective communication, understanding, and collaboration with individuals of diverse backgrounds. This includes being aware of one's own biases, being open-minded, and adapting practices to be inclusive and respectful of cultural differences. Ultimately, cultural competence is essential in providing high-quality, respectful, and effective care to clients from various cultural backgrounds.
Question 4 of 9
Which of the following is usually involved in Multiple myeloma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that develops in plasma cells, which are a type of white blood cells involved in the body's immune response. As a result, multiple myeloma primarily affects the hematologic system, which includes the blood and blood-forming tissues. This cancer typically arises in the bone marrow and can lead to an overproduction of abnormal plasma cells, which can crowd out healthy blood cells. Symptoms of multiple myeloma can include anemia, bone pain, recurrent infections, fatigue, and kidney problems, all of which are related to the hematologic system.
Question 5 of 9
The nurse knows that the diagnosis of contact latex allergy is based on history and ____.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The diagnosis of contact latex allergy is primarily based on the patient's history of exposure to latex-containing products and the development of symptoms upon contact with latex. To confirm the diagnosis, skin patch testing is performed. Skin patch testing exposes the skin to small amounts of latex allergens to observe for any localized allergic reaction, such as redness, swelling, or itchiness. This test helps determine if the individual has developed a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to latex. Latex-specific IgE testing (choice A) and finding IgE in serum (choice B) are methods used in diagnosing immediate-type latex allergy but are not sufficient for confirming contact latex allergy specifically. ELISA (choice D) is a type of laboratory technique used for various purposes, including measuring the levels of specific substances in the blood, but it is not typically used as a diagnostic tool for contact latex allergy.
Question 6 of 9
In three year's tie, Nurse Florence needs to attain certain number of continuing Professional Development units to be able to renew her __________.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nurse Florence needs to attain a certain number of continuing Professional Development units in order to renew her Professional License. Continuing Professional Development ensures that nurses stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and best practices in the field, ultimately leading to improved patient care outcomes. Renewing the Professional License is crucial for Nurse Florence to legally practice nursing and demonstrate her commitment to ongoing learning and development in the profession.
Question 7 of 9
Nurse Angie added that oral contraceptives also contains progesterone. Which of the following is the action of progesterone in contraception? It inhibits _______.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Progesterone in oral contraceptives works primarily by inhibiting ovulation. It suppresses the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which is essential for triggering the release of an egg (ovulation) from the ovary. By blocking ovulation, progesterone helps prevent pregnancy by making it less likely for a mature egg to be available for fertilization. This mechanism of action is a key factor in the effectiveness of progesterone-containing contraceptives in preventing pregnancy.
Question 8 of 9
A patient presents with a unilateral, painless enlargement of the thyroid gland. Fine-needle aspiration cytology reveals numerous microfollicles and psammoma bodies. Which of the following conditions is most likely responsible for this presentation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common type of thyroid cancer and is known for presenting as a painless unilateral enlargement of the thyroid gland. Fine-needle aspiration cytology typically reveals classic features such as numerous microfollicles and psammoma bodies. Thyroglossal duct cyst, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and thyroid adenoma would not typically present with these cytological features or with painless thyroid enlargement as seen in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Question 9 of 9
A patient presents with multiple grouped vesicles on an erythematous base, affecting the genital area. The patient reports a history of similar lesions in the past, occurring during periods of stress. Which of the following conditions is most likely responsible for this presentation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The presentation described, involving multiple grouped vesicles on an erythematous base in the genital area, is classic for herpes simplex genitalis. This condition is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and is characterized by recurrent outbreaks of painful vesicles in the genital or perianal area. The history of similar lesions occurring during periods of stress is also suggestive of herpes simplex virus reactivation. Genital warts (condyloma acuminata) typically present as painless, fleshy growths in the genital area caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Syphilis manifests as a painless ulcer known as a chancre, which is not described in the presentation. Molluscum contagiosum presents with pearly, dome-shaped papules with central umbilication, rather than vesicles.
