Question 4 of 5
A tendency to view one's own way of life as the most desirable, acceptable, or best and to act in a superior manner toward another culture is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ethnocentrism is judging other cultures by one's own standards, often leading to bias or superiority, like assuming Western medicine trumps traditional practices. Cultural imposition forces one's beliefs on others, a related but distinct act. Cultural taboos are specific prohibitions, and acculturation is adapting to another culture. In nursing, ethnocentrism hinders culturally competent care, risking mistrust. Recognizing it promotes respect for diverse health beliefs, enhancing patient cooperation and outcomes.
Question 5 of 5
36. What is the primary purpose of administering potassium chloride infusion to patient with diabetic ketoacidosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In diabetic ketoacidosis, potassium shifts extracellularly due to acidosis, masking depletion as it's lost in urine. Insulin therapy drives it back into cells, risking hypokalemia. Potassium chloride infusion replaces these losses, maintaining levels for muscle and cardiac function. Hyperpnea is acidosis-driven, not potassium-related. Flaccid paralysis and arrhythmias occur with severe imbalance, but replacement is proactive. Nurses monitor levels, preventing complications like weakness or dysrhythmias during treatment.
