Fundamentals of Nursing Nursing Process Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which food is recommended for the patient who must increase intake of potassium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Potato. Potatoes are high in potassium, which is essential for various bodily functions. Potatoes can help increase potassium intake in patients who require it. Bread, eggs, and cereal are not as rich in potassium as potatoes. Increasing intake of these foods won't provide the necessary boost in potassium levels needed for the patient.
Question 2 of 5
A patient asks how to avoid lung cancer. The following are risk factors, except:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: Crowded living conditions do not directly increase the risk of lung cancer. Step 2: Passive smoke (choice A) and air pollution (choice C) contain carcinogens linked to lung cancer. Step 3: Diet low in fruits and vegetables (choice D) may lead to poor immune function, potentially impacting cancer risk. Step 4: In summary, crowded living conditions do not contribute to lung cancer risk compared to the other choices.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff information should the nurse provide to clients who are prescribed rifampin?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because rifampin can cause discoloration of bodily fluids, including tears. If clients wear contact lenses, they need to be informed that the lenses may become colored due to this medication. This is important for the client's awareness and to prevent any potential harm to their eyes. A: Taking medication with meals is not necessary for rifampin administration. C: Avoiding wearing glasses is not relevant to rifampin treatment. D: Avoiding tuna, aged cheese, and red wine is not specifically related to rifampin use.
Question 4 of 5
Autoimmunity is defined as a phenomenon involving which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Autoimmunity is when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells. Choice D is correct because it reflects this key feature - the inability to differentiate self from nonself. This leads to the immune system targeting healthy tissues. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe autoimmunity. Choice A refers to endotoxins destroying B cells, which is not the definition of autoimmunity. Choice B mentions overproduction of reagin antibody, which is not related to autoimmunity. Choice C is incorrect as autoimmunity does not involve depression of the immune response but rather an inappropriate immune response.
