Rationale: Levothyroxine suppression therapy is standard in differentiated thyroid cancer.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The appropriate nursing intervention for a 19-year-old student experiencing symptoms of respiratory alkalosis related to an anxiety attack is to have him breathe into a paper bag. Breathing into a paper bag can help increase the level of carbon dioxide in the body, which can help correct respiratory alkalosis. This technique helps to rebalance the level of carbon dioxide in the blood and alleviate the symptoms of alkalosis caused by hyperventilation during the anxiety attack. It is important to monitor the student's condition and ensure that he is using the paper bag correctly to avoid any potential risks associated with this intervention. Additionally, providing reassurance and support during this episode can also be beneficial in helping the student to manage his anxiety and respiratory alkalosis.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Oxygen therapy for patients with emphysema aims to maintain adequate oxygen levels in the blood while avoiding toxic levels of oxygen. The recommended flow rate for oxygen administration in patients with emphysema is typically 1-3 liters per minute. Increasing the flow rate above this range may lead to oxygen toxicity in these patients. Therefore, a safe and appropriate oxygen flow rate for a patient with emphysema would be around 6 L/min, making option C, 6 L/min, the correct choice from the provided options.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is a non-specific marker for inflammation and can be elevated in conditions like rheumatic fever. A decrease in ESR suggests a reduction in the inflammatory response in the body, indicating an improvement in the condition. While the other parameters (WBC count, ASOT, and hemoglobin level) may be affected in rheumatic fever, a decrease in ESR is a more direct indicator of improvement in the inflammatory process associated with the disease.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Risk for obesity does not necessarily fall by 6 years.
