Question 1 of 5
Which is a common side effect of short-term corticosteroid therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increased appetite is a common side effect of short-term corticosteroid therapy. Corticosteroids can affect the areas of the brain that control appetite, leading to an increase in hunger and potentially weight gain. While weight loss can occur with long-term corticosteroid use, short-term therapy is more likely to cause increased appetite as a side effect. Fever and hypertension are less commonly associated with short-term corticosteroid therapy.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following symptoms is a classic sign of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs in the body. One of the classic signs of SLE is the presence of a facial rash in the shape of a butterfly over the cheeks and bridge of the nose. This rash is known as a malar rash and is often one of the first visible symptoms of the disease. Weight loss and difficulty urinating are not typical signs of SLE.
Question 3 of 5
Which laboratory test value is elevated in clients who smoke and can't be used as a general indicator of cancer?

Smoking leads to increased alkaline phosphatase production in the liver, and elevated levels can be attributed to liver damage caused by smoking. However, a high alkaline phosphatase level alone cannot be used as a general indicator of cancer because it is not specific to cancer and can be influenced by several other factors. Therefore, it is not a reliable marker for the presence of cancer in individuals who smoke or in the general population.

Correct Answer: B

In such units, patients like Mr. Boy are typically placed in semi-private rooms. This setting allows for close monitoring, infection control, and privacy for the patient to receive specialized care. Semi-private rooms also facilitate the management of burn injuries, including wound care, dressing changes, and overall patient care. Additionally, the environment in a semi-private room helps in preventing the spread of infections and ensures that the patient's specific care needs are met effectively.
