Question 1 of 9
Which hormone is secreted by the Islets of Langerhans?
Correct Answer: C

These specialized cells are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by releasing insulin in response to high blood glucose levels. Insulin helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following clusters of data belong to Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that categorizes human needs into five levels. These levels, from the most fundamental to the highest, are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness, esteem needs, and self-actualization. Therefore, all the clusters listed in the choices - love and belonging, physiological needs, and self-actualization - correspond to different levels within Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Choosing 'All of the above' (option D) is the correct answer as it includes all the clusters associated with Maslow's theory.
Question 3 of 9
A client had oral surgery following a motor vehicle accident. The nurse assessing the client finds the skin flushed and warm. Which of the following would be the best method to take the client's body temperature?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In cases where the oral route is not recommended due to oral surgery or altered consciousness, the rectal method is preferred for the most accurate body temperature reading. This method is particularly useful when the skin is flushed and warm, as it provides a reliable reflection of core body temperature despite external factors affecting the skin temperature. Axillary temperature may not be as accurate, and arterial line temperature monitoring is invasive and not typically used for routine temperature assessment.

During a client's first hospitalization, which of the following actions ensures the safety of the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During a client's first hospitalization, it is essential to keep unnecessary furniture out of the way to prevent obstacles and ensure a safe environment. This action helps reduce the risk of accidents or falls, promoting the client's safety and well-being. Keeping the lights on at all times may not be necessary and can disrupt the client's rest.
