Question 1 of 5
This global program aims to end poverty and protect the planet?
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 5
Which of the following statements is NOT true of Pneumothorax?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In pneumothorax, air enters the normally negative pressure space between the lung and chest wall, leading to loss of negative intra-pleural pressure. However, this loss of negative pressure typically does not directly result in lung collapse. Instead, the accumulation of air in the pleural space can lead to a pressure imbalance, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely, which is known as atelectasis. Therefore, it is more accurate to state that the loss of negative intra-pleural pressure can result in lung collapse due to the presence of air in the pleural space, rather than the loss of negative pressure itself causing the collapse.
Question 3 of 5
To grow as a person, the student nurse can attend lecture-demonstration on which of the following procedures?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Attending a lecture-demonstration on doing first aid is essential for the growth of a student nurse as it equips them with crucial knowledge and skills to respond effectively in emergency situations. First aid training teaches basic life-saving techniques and how to provide immediate care until medical professionals arrive. This knowledge is vital in the healthcare field, allowing the student nurse to provide immediate assistance and potentially save lives. By learning first aid procedures, the student nurse can enhance their skills, confidence, and overall capability to care for patients in various settings. This continuous learning and improvement are key to personal growth and professional development in the healthcare industry.
Question 4 of 5
While taking nursing history on Annie, what will be the response of the patient that indicates her present condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The response indicating Annie's present condition would be option A. This is because the symptoms mentioned in option A, such as experiencing vertigo, nausea, and nystagmus when sitting, point towards a vestibular disorder. These are symptoms commonly associated with conditions like Meniere's disease or vestibular neuritis, which can cause balance issues and feelings of dizziness. These symptoms are more indicative of Annie's current health status compared to the other options which focus on past or unrelated issues, such as ear pain during travel or impaired hearing since birth. The information provided in option A gives a more direct insight into Annie's present condition, making it the most appropriate response.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is the cause of Somogyi effect, which occurs during sleep in patients with diabetes mellitus?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Somogyi effect, also known as rebound hyperglycemia, is a phenomenon observed in patients with diabetes mellitus during sleep. It is characterized by a low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) followed by high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in the morning. This occurs due to limited insulin in the body during the night, leading to high blood sugar levels in the morning as a response to the hypoglycemia episode. Too much globulin or albumin are not directly associated with the Somogyi effect. Increasing insulin in the body would rather help prevent the hypoglycemia episode that triggers the rebound hyperglycemia in the Somogyi effect.
