Health Assessment Questions for Nursing Practice Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which organ in the body always receives the most percentage of blood (% cardiac output) flow? (AIIMS, ME, BPSC)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The lungs receive 100% of cardiac output (D) via pulmonary circulation for oxygenation. Other organs (A, B, C) receive fractions of the total output.
Question 2 of 5
Glomerulonephritis is the complication of impetigo due to...?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis follows Streptococcus (A) infection (e.g., impetigo), causing immune-mediated kidney damage. Other bacteria (B, C, D) are less commonly implicated.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse administers furosemide (Lasix) to treat a client with heart failure. Which adverse effect must the nurse watch for most carefully?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Furosemide, a potassium-wasting diuretic, risks hypokalemia (C), which can cause arrhythmias. It lowers BP (not A), reduces volume (not B), and may lower sodium (not D).
Question 4 of 5
World Cancer day is ...?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: World Cancer Day is February 4 (C), focusing on cancer awareness and prevention.
Question 5 of 5
A client with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is admitted with an acute exacerbation. Which oxygen delivery method should the nurse expect to use for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: COPD patients require low-flow oxygen like a nasal cannula at 2 L/min (B) to avoid suppressing hypoxic drive. High-flow options (A, D) risk CO2 retention, and Venturi (C) is precise but not initial.
