Introduction to Nursing Profession Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which foods should a client practicing Islam avoid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pork products like bacon. In Islam, consuming pork is strictly forbidden as it is considered impure. This prohibition is clearly stated in the Quran. Muslims are required to avoid all forms of pork, including bacon, ham, and any products derived from pigs. Shrimps and crabs (choice A) are permissible seafood according to Islamic dietary laws. Wine and alcoholic drinks (choice B) are also prohibited in Islam. Fish with scales (choice C) are allowed to be consumed by Muslims as long as they are Halal. In summary, the other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific dietary restrictions outlined in Islamic teachings.
Question 2 of 5
What nursing measure is most helpful for eliminating intestinal gas before inserting a rectal tube?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ambulate the client in the hall. Ambulating the client helps to stimulate peristalsis and promote the movement of gas through the intestines, making it easier to eliminate gas before inserting a rectal tube. Walking also helps in releasing trapped gas. B: Providing a carbonated beverage may actually increase gas production, making it counterproductive in this situation. C: Restricting the intake of solid food may not directly help in eliminating gas, as gas is mainly produced during digestion. D: Administering a narcotic analgesic may have a constipating effect, which can further exacerbate the issue of gas retention.
Question 3 of 5
What does a lab report showing bilirubin 5 mg/dL, S. Potassium 4, and S. Sodium 140 most likely indicate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, biliary obstruction. A bilirubin level of 5 mg/dL indicates liver dysfunction, which can be caused by biliary obstruction. The normal range for bilirubin is 0.3-1.2 mg/dL. S. Sodium and S. Potassium levels are within normal range, ruling out hypernatremia and renal failure. Thrombocytopenia is a decrease in platelet count and is unrelated to the given lab values.
Question 4 of 5
Terlipressin was prescribed to Erlita due to bleeding esophageal varices. The nurse is preparing to administer the medication to the client. Which essential item is needed during the administration of this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A suction setup. When administering Terlipressin for bleeding esophageal varices, the patient may experience vomiting due to the increased pressure in the portal venous system. A suction setup is essential to manage and prevent aspiration in case of vomiting. An airway (choice A) may be needed in case of airway obstruction but is not specific to Terlipressin administration. A cardiac monitor (choice C) may be used to monitor the patient's cardiac status but is not directly related to Terlipressin administration. A tracheotomy set (choice D) is unnecessary for administering Terlipressin and is used for emergency airway access, not for managing potential vomiting during medication administration.
Question 5 of 5
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is a preventable disease. The primary cause of COPD is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cigarette smoking. Cigarette smoking is the primary cause of COPD as it leads to chronic inflammation and damage to the airways and alveoli in the lungs. This damage results in airflow limitation and breathing difficulties characteristic of COPD. High cholesterol diet (A) is not a direct cause of COPD. Bronchitis (B) is a type of COPD but not the primary cause. Asthma (C) is a separate respiratory condition with different underlying mechanisms than COPD.
