Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A professional nurse is searching for information on vaccination among children in a nursing database. The nurse enters two key words (vaccines, children) into the search interface of the database. However, the nurse is unable to retrieve many records during the search. Which of the following Boolean Operators would be appropriate for the nurse to use with the key words to expand the search?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The 'OR' operator expands the search by retrieving records that contain either keyword ('vaccines' or 'children'), increasing the number of results. 'Not' would exclude records containing a specific term, further reducing the results. 'And' would narrow the search by retrieving only records that contain both keywords, which may not help in this situation. 'Don't know' is not a Boolean operator.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement describes the action of a beta-adrenergic agent for a patient with a respiratory disorder such as asthma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Beta-adrenergic agents stimulate beta-2 receptors, relaxing airway muscles and causing bronchodilation, improving airflow in asthma.
Question 3 of 5
During an EHR implementation project, a lack of which of the following in particular can discourage trust and confidence among users and team members?

Question 4 of 5
A 2-year-old is being treated for a pneumonia. The health care provider orders 15mg/kg of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid to be administered every 12 hours. The child weighs 25 pounds. The elixir comes in a strength of 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid should the nurse administer to this child per dose? mL (Round to the nearest tenth)
Correct Answer: 3.4 mL/dose
Rationale: Calculation: 25 lbs = 11.34 kg, 15 mg/kg * 11.34 kg = 170.1 mg/dose, 170.1 mg / (250 mg/5 mL) = 3.4 mL/dose.
