Nursing Process Quizlet Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medications can be used to quickly reduce SOB in a crisis situation for a patient with end-stage respiratory disease?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Step 1: IV morphine is the correct choice as it is a potent analgesic and has a rapid onset of action to reduce shortness of breath (SOB) in a crisis situation. Step 2: Oral cortisone (A) is not suitable for quick relief of SOB as it has a slower onset of action. Step 3: IM meperidine (C) is an opioid analgesic but not commonly used for managing SOB in end-stage respiratory disease. Step 4: IV propranolol (D) is a beta-blocker and not indicated for immediate relief of SOB in a crisis situation.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the medication of choice for anaphylaxis that the nurse should anticipate would be ordered?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Epinephrine. In anaphylaxis, epinephrine is the medication of choice due to its rapid onset of action and ability to reverse severe allergic reactions. It acts by constricting blood vessels, increasing heart rate, and opening airways. This helps counteract the dangerous drop in blood pressure and airway constriction seen in anaphylaxis. Digoxin, theophylline, and furosemide are not appropriate for anaphylaxis as they do not address the immediate life-threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff should a client with auto immune disorder be advised to avoid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Being in crowds during the periods of immunosuppression. Clients with autoimmune disorders have compromised immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections. Being in crowds increases the risk of exposure to various pathogens, potentially leading to infections. Avoiding crowds during periods of immunosuppression helps minimize the risk of infections. A: Resting during the periods of severe exacerbation is important for managing symptoms and conserving energy, but it is not specifically related to avoiding triggers for autoimmune disorders. B: Regular exercise during the periods of remission is beneficial for overall health and can help manage autoimmune disorders, as long as it is appropriate and not excessive. D: Humid environments during the periods of remission do not directly impact autoimmune disorders unless the individual has a specific sensitivity to humidity.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the ff is the main reason why older clients with AIDS need more care than their younger counterparts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because older clients with AIDS have a faster progression of the disease due to age-related changes in the immune system, making them more vulnerable to complications. This results in a greater need for care compared to younger counterparts. Choice A is incorrect as lack of balanced diet and activity does not directly relate to the progression of AIDS. Choice B is incorrect as knowledge about disorders is not the main factor affecting the level of care needed. Choice D is incorrect as adherence to therapy is important but not the main reason older clients need more care.
Question 5 of 5
Which white blood cells are involved in releasing histamine during an allergic reaction?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Basophils. Basophils are a type of white blood cell that release histamine during allergic reactions. They contain granules filled with histamine, which is released when they encounter an allergen. Monocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophils do not release histamine during allergic reactions. Monocytes are involved in immune response and inflammation, eosinophils are responsible for combating parasitic infections, and neutrophils are primarily involved in fighting bacterial infections.
