The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Checking the client’s blood sugar
B. Administering intravenous dextrose
C. Intubation and ventilator support

A. Vaccination with a live virus
B. Weakened immune system
C. Inoculation with BCG vaccine
D. Poor testing technique
Inoculation with BCG vaccine will produce a false positive TB skin test. Vaccination with a live virus, weakened immune system, and poor testing technique are factors that can produce a false negative TB skin test, therefore Answers A, B, and D are incorrect.

A. One to two weeks after surgery
B. Four to six weeks after surgery
C. Six months after surgery
D. One year after surgery
The final best vision will not be present until four to six weeks following cataract removal. Answer A is incorrect because sufficient healing has not taken place. Answers C and D are incorrect because the best vision is present four to six weeks after surger
The Correct Answer is Option A
To calculate for the rate in mL/hr:
Drug wanted x Conversion Factor (mcg/mg) / Drug on hand (in mg/mL) x flow rate in volume over time (mL/hr)
15mcg x 1mg x 250mL x 60mins = 9mL/hr
min 1000mcg 25mg 1 hour
The Correct Answer is Option A
Total Volume / Time x Drip Factor = 1000 mL / 24 hours x 15drops/mL = 625 drops/hour
625drops/hour x 1hour/60minutes = 10.4166667 = 10 drops/minute (rounded off to a whole number)
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. 10
B. 15
C. 20
D. 25

Both Kernig’s and Brudsinski’s signs are indications of meningeal irritation found in meningitis.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Magnetic resonance imaging
B. Ultrasonography
C. Noncontrast helical computerized tomography
D. X-ray of the kidneys, ureter, and bladder
Noncontrast helical computerized tomography is the most sensitive means for diagnosing renal calculi. Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and x-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder are not as sensitive; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.

The Correct Answer is Option A
You are working on the 3pm-11pm shift. Estimate the patients 8 hour intake when administered with the following: IVF @ 25cc/hr continuous; TPN @ 50cc/hr continuous; Lipids at 10cc/hr for 12 hours (8pm-8am); NGT feeds @ 25 cc/hr continuous; 2 units of blood – 250ml/unit – first unit at 10am/ second unit at 4pm; IV Vancomycin – 250ml every 12 hours at 8am/8pm.
REMEMBER: cc = mL
IVF = 25 mL x 8 hours = 200 mL
TPN = 50 mL x 8 hours = 400 mL
Lipids = 10 mL x 3 hours (consider only 3hours 8pm-11pm as shift ends at 11pm) = 30 mL
NGT feeds = 25 mL x 8 hours = 200 mL
Blood - x1 unit given at 4pm included in 3pm-11pm shift = 250 mL
IV Vancomycin = 250 mL (given at 8pm, 8am shift not included)
TOTAL INTAKE = 1330 mLs
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Blood or body fluid exposure to the virus
B. Emptying her cat’s litter box

A. Metabolic alkalosis
B. Metabolic acidosis
C. Respiratory alkalosis
D. Respiratory acidosis
The client with anorexia nervosa is in a state of negative nitrogen balance. She is likely experiencing metabolic acidosis. Answer A is incorrect because metabolic alkalosis is reflected as an increase in HCO3. Clients with anorexia will show a deficit in HCO3. Answers C and D are incorrect because anorexia nervosa clients have a metabolic disorder, not a respiratory disorder
