Question 1 of 5
Urine production is increased when a resident drinks
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Caffeinated beverages. Caffeine is a diuretic that increases urine production by promoting the excretion of water from the body. When consumed, caffeine inhibits the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, leading to increased urine output. Choices B, C, and D do not have diuretic properties like caffeine and therefore do not directly increase urine production. Warm milk, yogurt, and high-sodium fluids may affect hydration status but do not have the same direct impact on urine production as caffeine.
Question 2 of 5
What piece of extra equipment is important for a resident using an oxygen concentrator?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nasal cannula. A resident using an oxygen concentrator needs a nasal cannula to deliver the oxygen from the concentrator to their lungs effectively. The nasal cannula is a lightweight, flexible tube that is placed in the nostrils to provide a continuous flow of oxygen. It ensures proper oxygen delivery and improves the resident's breathing. A portable oxygen tank (Choice A) is not necessary when using an oxygen concentrator, as the concentrator generates oxygen continuously. An irrigation catheter (Choice B) and a specimen container (Choice C) are not relevant to oxygen therapy and are not needed for a resident using an oxygen concentrator.
Question 3 of 5
The type of aphasia that refers to difficulty communicating through speech or writing is called
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Expressive. Expressive aphasia, also known as Broca's aphasia, is characterized by difficulty in producing speech or writing. This is due to damage in the brain's language centers affecting the ability to communicate verbally. Choice B, Cognitive, is incorrect as it pertains to general mental processes rather than specifically communication difficulties. Choice C, Validating, is unrelated to aphasia and refers to confirming or verifying something. Choice D, Receptive, is also incorrect as it refers to difficulty understanding spoken or written language, not difficulty expressing oneself verbally or in writing.
Question 4 of 5
Male testes secrete this hormone:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale for why the correct answer is D (Testosterone): 1. Testes are male reproductive glands. 2. They secrete testosterone, a male sex hormone. 3. Testosterone plays a crucial role in male sexual development and function. 4. It is responsible for the development of male reproductive tissues. Summary: A: Potassium - Not a hormone secreted by the testes. B: Progesterone - Female sex hormone, not secreted by the testes. C: Epinephrine - Hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, not the testes.
Question 5 of 5
What is a benefit of regular activity and exercise for the respiratory system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A reduced chance of pneumonia. Regular activity and exercise strengthen the respiratory muscles, improve lung function, and enhance overall respiratory health. This reduces the risk of infections such as pneumonia by improving the body's ability to fight off respiratory illnesses. Incorrect choices: A: An increased chance of infection - This is incorrect as regular activity and exercise actually boost the immune system, reducing the likelihood of infections. C: Diminished oxygen level - This is incorrect as exercise increases oxygen intake and improves oxygen delivery to the body's tissues. D: Decreased circulation - This is incorrect as exercise improves circulation, leading to better oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body.
