Question 1 of 5
What size of suction catheter would Wilma use for James, who is 6 feet 5 inches in height and weighing approximately 145 lbs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct size of a suction catheter is usually determined by the patient's weight, rather than height. For James, who weighs approximately 145 lbs, a Fr. 10 suction catheter would be suitable. Suction catheter sizes typically range from Fr. 5 (smaller) to Fr. 18 (larger), with Fr. 10 being a common size for an adult patient of James' weight. Using a catheter that is too small may not effectively clear secretions, while one that is too big may cause discomfort or damage to the airways.

Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff symptoms is associated with AIDS related distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: AIDS related distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is a common neurological complication in individuals living with HIV or AIDS. One of the hallmark symptoms associated with DSP is the presence of abnormal sensations such as burning pain, tingling, numbness, and hypersensitivity in the distal extremities. These abnormal sensations are typically described as a feeling of pins and needles or electric shocks. Patients may also experience a loss of proprioception, leading to difficulties in coordination and balance. Staggering gait and muscle incoordination (choice A) may be seen in patients with advanced stages of DSP, but the primary symptom associated with the condition is the presence of abnormal sensory perceptions. Delusional thinking (choice C) and incontinence (choice D) are not typical symptoms of AIDS related distal sensory polyneuropathy.
