Which of the following is more life threatening?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: BP 80/50 is most life-threatening e.g., hypoperfusion risks organ failure versus 180/100 (hypertension), 160/120 (severe), or 90/60 (borderline). Low pressure (shock) demands urgent intervention nurses prioritize this e.g., fluids per hemodynamic stability principles.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas became PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, a landmark in local leadership post-American rule. Unlike St. Paul, Iloilo, or St. Luke's, PGH's prominence amplified her impact e.g., elevating Filipino roles. Her tenure advanced professional recognition, influencing nursing's national identity and autonomy in the early 20th century.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Halbert Dunn's High-Level Wellness (1950s) frames health as maximizing potential within limits e.g., thriving with arthritis. Unlike Erikson's stages, Madaw (unknown), or Peplau's relations, Dunn's concept influences nursing's focus on optimal functioning, shaping wellness programs beyond disease absence.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Paracetamol dropping 40°C to 36.7°C in 10 minutes fully meets fever reduction goals e.g., normal range (36.6-38°C). Partial or unmet implies residual fever; undesired criteria suggest issues (none here). Nurses document this e.g., success per outcome standards.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Hydrocodone depresses respiration e.g., slowing RR in pain relief making it correct. Stress, heat, and altitude (low O2) raise RR e.g., panting. No incorrect factor; hydrocodone aligns with nursing pharmacology for monitoring.
