Question 1 of 5
An ulcer caused by H. pylori can be successfully treated with which classification of drugs?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Antibiotics eradicate H. pylori, the primary cause of many ulcers, allowing healing. H2-receptor blockers, antacids, and PPIs manage symptoms but do not treat the infection.
Question 2 of 5
A client asks the nurse what ventilation is. What is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ventilation is the mechanical process of moving air into and out of the lungs, encompassing both inhalation and exhalation. Other options describe parts of respiration or perfusion.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a school-age child who has asthma. Which of the following medications should the nurse instruct the child to use to abort an ongoing attack?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Albuterol, a short-acting beta agonist, rapidly relieves acute asthma symptoms by relaxing airway muscles. Montelukast, fluticasone, and cromolyn are maintenance medications, not suitable for aborting an ongoing attack.
Question 4 of 5
What is the earliest sign of shock that the nurse would monitor for during a routine assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Restlessness is an early sign of shock, reflecting sympathetic nervous system activation due to decreased tissue perfusion. Pale skin, thirst, and nausea appear later.
Question 5 of 5
An adult patient presents to the emergency department with complaints of shortness of breath and increased work of breathing. The patient has a past medical history of asthma, hypertension. The nurse anticipates which of the following medications will be initially administered to the patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Albuterol is the first-line treatment for acute asthma exacerbations, rapidly relieving bronchoconstriction. Theophylline, montelukast, and salmeterol are for long-term management.
