Integumentary System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which method for putting out flames is most effective and would be discussed by a nurse teaching campfire safety to a group of community members?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Log-roll the victim in the grass. This method is effective as it deprives the flames of oxygen and helps smother the fire. By rolling the victim in the grass, the flames are extinguished without the need for additional equipment or resources. Slapping at the flames (choice A) can actually worsen the situation by spreading the fire. Pouring cold liquid over the flames (choice C) can cause the flames to spread or the liquid to evaporate quickly. Removing the victim's burning clothes (choice D) can be dangerous as it can further expose the victim to the flames.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following intracellular structures is part of the cytoskeleton of a human cell?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Microtubules. Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton in human cells, providing structural support, aiding in cell division, and serving as tracks for intracellular transport. They are composed of tubulin protein subunits. A: Golgi complex is responsible for processing and packaging proteins for secretion, not part of the cytoskeleton. B: Cell wall is a rigid structure found in plant cells, not present in human cells. C: Flagella are motile structures used for cell movement, not part of the cytoskeleton. In summary, microtubules are the correct answer as they are a key component of the cytoskeleton, while the other choices are not part of the cytoskeleton in human cells.
Question 3 of 5
What are some of the common skin diseases?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all the other choices mention specific skin diseases that fall under the broader category of common skin diseases. Eczema, psoriasis, acne (A), melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (B), and warts, herpes, shingles (C) are all prevalent skin conditions that affect many individuals. By selecting choice D, you encompass all the mentioned skin diseases, providing a comprehensive overview of common skin conditions.
Question 4 of 5
A patient with cancer is receiving a dose of an oral radioactive isotope. What should the nurse keep in mind to ensure personal safety when caring for this patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: The distance between the patient and caregivers. This is important in radiation safety as increasing distance reduces radiation exposure. As radiation intensity decreases with distance, keeping a safe distance minimizes the risk of radiation exposure for the nurse. Options A and B are irrelevant to radiation safety. Option D, using a barrier, is not as effective as increasing distance in reducing radiation exposure.
Question 5 of 5
A client has peripheral arterial disease (PAD). What statement by the client indicates misunderstanding about self-management activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because using a heating pad can worsen PAD by dilating blood vessels, leading to reduced blood flow. Step 1: Heating pad increases blood flow, potentially worsening PAD symptoms. Step 2: Choices B, C, and D promote proper self-management by avoiding leg crossing, wearing warm socks for circulation, and quitting smoking to improve blood flow.
