Question 1 of 5
After undergoing gastric resection, which of the following meals is most likely to cause rapid emptying of the stomach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After gastric resection, meals high in carbohydrates are more likely to cause rapid emptying of the stomach. Carbohydrates stimulate the release of gastrin, which accelerates gastric emptying. In contrast, high-fat and high-protein meals tend to delay gastric emptying. While a large meal can slow down gastric emptying, the specific nutrient content, such as high carbohydrates, plays a significant role in promoting rapid emptying.
Therefore, a high-carbohydrate meal is the correct choice as it is most likely to lead to rapid gastric emptying compared to the other options.
Question 2 of 5
A client who is immobilized secondary to traction is complaining of constipation. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to be ordered?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is Colace. Colace is a stool softener that helps relieve constipation by drawing more water into the bowel, making the stool softer and easier to pass. This is beneficial for an immobilized client as it can help prevent constipation due to decreased mobility. Options A, B, and C (Advil, Anasaid, Clinocil) are not indicated for constipation relief. Advil and Anasaid are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used for pain relief, while Clinocil is a fictional medication.
Question 3 of 5
A healthcare professional is reviewing the health care record of a client who has just undergone an examination of the internal genitalia. Which documented finding indicates an abnormality?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Clear secretions with a foul odor are noted on the cervix.' Normally, the cervix is pink, midline, and about 1 inch in diameter. Depending on the day of the menstrual cycle, secretions may vary. However, they should always be odorless and nonirritating. Secretions with a foul odor are indicative of an infection, making this finding abnormal.
Choices A, B, and C describe normal cervix characteristics, so they do not indicate an abnormality in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
What is the primary theory that explains a family's concept of health and illness?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is the Health Belief Model. The Health Belief Model is a widely recognized theory that explains individuals' perceptions and behaviors related to health and illness. It considers factors such as perceived susceptibility, severity of health issues, benefits of action, and barriers to taking action.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
Choice B, 'Education Factor,' is too general and does not specifically address a family's concept of health and illness.
Choice C, 'Family Health Belief Model,' is a combination of terms and not a recognized theory.
Choice D, 'Family Dynamics Model,' focuses on family interactions rather than explaining a family's concept of health and illness.
Question 5 of 5
What is the primary theory that explains a family's concept of health and illness?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is the Health Belief Model. This model explains a family's concept of health and illness by focusing on readiness factors, perceived susceptibility, and seriousness of health problems, and positive motivation for wellness. The Health Belief Model is widely used in healthcare to understand and predict health behaviors.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not specifically address how a family perceives health and illness. The Health Belief Model is the most appropriate choice as it is specifically designed to explain individual and family beliefs and behaviors related to health and illness.
