Question 1 of 9
Use the scenario to answer questions 13-18. A patient has come to the OPD with complaints of anaesthesia and paresthesia of the lower limbs. After laboratory investigations, the doctor has diagnosed the patient with Diabetes Mellitus but failed to specify whether it is type 1 or type 2. Onset of Type 1 diabetes is characterized by:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Type 1 diabetes typically occurs after pubertal onset. This form of diabetes is most commonly diagnosed in individuals under the age of 30, with a peak incidence in the mid-teens to early 20s. Puberty is a period of hormonal changes and growth, which can trigger the onset of type 1 diabetes due to the stress it places on the body's insulin-producing cells.
Question 2 of 9
What is the appropriate amount of fluid to be administered per hour using an infusion pump?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 9
Which of the following are classical clinical manifestations that a patient with diabetes mellitus will exhibit EXCEPT?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 9
Which of the following is an indication of lower respiratory infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inability to lie supine is a significant indication of lower respiratory infection. This symptom often occurs due to breathing difficulties and discomfort experienced by individuals with lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. It can be caused by lung inflammation, consolidation, or fluid buildup in the lungs, making lying flat uncomfortable or difficult. Monitoring a patient's ability to lie flat can provide valuable information about the severity and progression of a lower respiratory infection.
Question 5 of 9
When educating the mother of a child with respiratory disease who needs a lot of fluids, the mother tells the nurse that when she offers her 24-month-old son juice, he always shakes his head and says, 'No'. The nurse suggests that the mother:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Offering a choice can help the child feel more in control and willing to drink. By providing the child with options, the mother empowers him to make a decision, which can increase his willingness to drink fluids. This approach promotes a sense of autonomy and may lead to a more positive response from the child, ultimately contributing to better fluid intake, especially important for a child with a respiratory disease.
Question 6 of 9
What is the main cause or association of Type 2 diabetes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 7 of 9
A 7-year-old child named Kanjaga exhibits symptoms like fatigue, slow heart rate, dry skin, slower growth, and delayed puberty. Which of the following is the appropriate diagnosis for this deficiency that slows body processes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
What advice should a school-age child with type 1 diabetes mellitus follow to prevent hypoglycemia during soccer practice?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Drinking orange juice before soccer practice is recommended to prevent hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Orange juice contains fast-acting carbohydrates that can quickly raise blood sugar levels if they drop during physical activity. Eating twice the amount normally eaten at lunchtime can lead to hyperglycemia, which is high blood sugar, rather than preventing hypoglycemia. Adjusting insulin doses should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Taking insulin at noontime rather than in the morning does not directly address preventing hypoglycemia during afternoon soccer practice.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following is not a clinical type of diarrhea?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bloody diarrhea is not typically classified as a clinical type of diarrhea. The clinical types of diarrhea commonly include acute, persistent, and secretory diarrhea, which are characterized by different mechanisms and durations. Bloody diarrhea usually indicates the presence of blood in the stool, which can be a sign of various underlying conditions but is not a specific clinical type of diarrhea.
