Question 1 of 5

What condition should a patient on long-term steroid therapy be monitored for?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct! Patients on long-term steroid therapy should be monitored for osteoporosis. Prolonged use of steroids can lead to decreased bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Hyperglycemia is more commonly associated with steroid-induced diabetes rather than long-term steroid use. Hypothyroidism is not a typical complication of long-term steroid therapy. While steroids can contribute to hypertension, osteoporosis is a more prominent concern in this scenario.

Question 2 of 5

Which laboratory data indicate the client's pancreatitis is improving?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Amylase and lipase are specific markers for pancreatitis. A decrease in their serum levels indicates improvement in pancreatitis. Choice B, a decreased white blood cell count (WBC), is more indicative of an improvement in infection rather than pancreatitis. Choices C and D, decreased bilirubin levels and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels respectively, are not specific markers for pancreatitis improvement.

Question 3 of 5

The hypertonicity of the muscles in an infant with cerebral palsy causes scissoring of the legs. The nurse teaches the mother that the preferred way to carry the infant is in a sitting position:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Carrying the infant astride one of her hips helps keep the legs apart and can help reduce muscle tightness. This position allows for better support and alignment, preventing further muscle contractures. Strapping the infant in an infant seat, wrapping tightly in a blanket, or using the football hold under the arm would not provide the same benefits and may even exacerbate muscle tightness in a child with cerebral palsy.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following is a specialized medical treatment and teaching facility that provides general and specialized medical and dental care and treatment?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, MEDCEN, which stands for Medical Center. A MEDCEN is a specialized medical treatment and teaching facility that provides general and specialized medical and dental care and treatment. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. CONUS refers to the continental United States and is not a medical facility. MEDCOM stands for Medical Command, which is an organization rather than a specific facility for medical treatment. MEDDAC stands for Medical Department Activity and is also an organization responsible for medical care delivery, not a specific treatment facility.

Question 5 of 5

The system used at the division level and forward is comprised of six basic modules. Which module is composed of a dental officer, dental specialist, x-ray specialist, laboratory specialist, and needed equipment?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Dental squad. The Dental squad is composed of a dental officer, dental specialist, x-ray specialist, laboratory specialist, and necessary equipment. This module specifically focuses on dental care and services. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not include the specific specialists mentioned in the question or focus on dental services.
