Rationale: To obtain a license to practice, the individual must follow certain steps and fulfill specific requirements. Option A states that she must take the path to any government official, which is not accurate or necessary in the process of obtaining a professional license. The other options provided are correct in the usual process of getting a license: registering in the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), taking the oath of professionals before a member of the Professional Regulatory Board of Nursing (PRBON), and being issued a certificate of Registration (COR) and a profession identification card (PIN).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Radical abdominal hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus, ovaries, ligaments (including round ligaments and uterosacral ligaments), and fallopian tubes. This extensive procedure is typically done for cases of invasive gynecologic cancers, most commonly cervical or ovarian cancer. The goal of radical hysterectomy is to remove as much of the cancerous tissue as possible to improve the chances of successful treatment and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A severe headache is a classic sign of a hemorrhagic stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding. This bleeding can lead to increased pressure within the skull, resulting in a sudden and severe headache. Other symptoms of a hemorrhagic stroke may include nausea, vomiting, sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and loss of coordination. It is important to seek immediate medical attention if someone is experiencing symptoms of a stroke, including a severe headache, as prompt treatment is crucial in minimizing damage and improving outcomes.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When someone is bitten by a dog, the most important first aid step is to wash the wound thoroughly with running water. This helps to remove any dirt or bacteria from the wound, reducing the risk of infection. Washing the wound with garlic (choice A) is not recommended as it can irritate the skin and may not effectively clean the wound. Feeding the dog (choice B) is not relevant to treating the bite wound. Bleeding the bitten area (choice C) is also not necessary and can actually increase the risk of infection. Therefore, the best advice the nurse should give in case of a dog bite is to wash the wound thoroughly with running water.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The healthcare team should prioritize performing endoscopic hemostasis with mechanical or thermal techniques in a patient with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) requiring urgent intervention. This approach involves directly visualizing the bleeding site and applying methods such as clipping, coagulation, or band ligation to stop the bleeding. Endoscopic hemostasis is considered the gold standard for managing acute GIB as it allows for both diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in real-time, offering a targeted and effective way to control bleeding and prevent recurrent episodes. Administering proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may help in reducing gastric acid secretion and promoting ulcer healing but is not the primary intervention for actively bleeding patients. Implementing strict bed rest may be necessary in some cases to minimize physical exertion, but it is not the primary intervention to manage acute GIB. Transfusion of fresh frozen plasma to correct coagulopathy may be necessary if
