Question 4 of 5
A nurse and a newly licensed nurse are providing care for a client who has distributive shock related to an anaphylactic reaction. How should the nurse explain the pathophysiology of distributive shock to the newly licensed nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Distributive shock, as seen in anaphylaxis, is caused by systemic vasodilation, leading to decreased vascular resistance and impaired organ perfusion. Increased vascular resistance is seen in other types of shock, blood volume loss defines hypovolemic shock, and loss of myocardial contractility is characteristic of cardiogenic shock.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who was admitted with suspected rheumatic fever. The provider prescribes an anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer. The parent asks the nurse the purpose of the test. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An elevated ASO titer confirms a recent streptococcal infection, which is a key factor in diagnosing rheumatic fever, as it indicates the body's immune response to streptolysin O produced by group A Streptococcus. It does not measure aminoglycoside levels, directly diagnose rheumatic fever, or confirm immunity.
