Question 1 of 5
Vasoconstriction lowers blood pressure While vasodilatation elevates blood pressure.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Vasoconstriction narrows blood vessels, increasing resistance to blood flow, leading to higher blood pressure. 2. Vasodilation widens blood vessels, reducing resistance, resulting in lower blood pressure. 3. Therefore, the statement that vasoconstriction lowers blood pressure and vasodilation elevates blood pressure is accurate. Summary: - Choice A is incorrect because it states the opposite of the correct relationship between vasoconstriction and blood pressure. - Choices C and D are irrelevant as they do not provide any information to support or refute the given statement.
Question 2 of 5
Bone fracture, bone is exposed to the skin, causes bleeding.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Treat the bleeding first. In the case of a bone fracture where the bone is exposed to the skin and causes bleeding, it is crucial to address the bleeding as a priority to prevent excessive blood loss and potential complications. By treating the bleeding first, you can stabilize the patient's condition and reduce the risk of shock. Immobilizing the bone is important but secondary to controlling the bleeding. Choice C and D are incorrect as they do not address the immediate concern of managing the bleeding in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
Refers to the passage of small, dry, hard stools For a period of time.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Constipation. Constipation refers to the passage of small, dry, hard stools due to difficulty in bowel movements. It is a common condition that can be caused by various factors such as inadequate fiber intake, dehydration, or lack of physical activity. In contrast, fecal impaction (choice B) is a more severe condition where a large mass of dry, hard stool gets stuck in the rectum and cannot be passed easily. Choices C and D are incorrect as they are not relevant to the description provided in the question.
Question 4 of 5
Private room, curtain on fire
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Rescue patient. This is the priority because the patient's safety is paramount when a fire occurs in a private room. Rescuing the patient should be the first action to prevent injury or harm. Swiftly turning off the oxygen tank (choice B) can be important to prevent the fire from spreading but should come after ensuring the patient's safety. The other choices (C and D) are not relevant to the immediate response needed in this emergency situation.
Question 5 of 5
Patient says 'hindi ako makahinga'
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Symptom. The statement "hindi ako makahinga" indicates a subjective experience reported by the patient, suggesting difficulty in breathing. Symptoms are subjective manifestations reported by the patient, reflecting their perception of their condition. In contrast, objective findings (choice A) are measurable and observable signs assessed by healthcare providers. Choices C and D are likely incorrect as they are blank, indicating they do not align with the patient's reported experience of breathing difficulty.
