Welcome to the Demo Quiz! Below, you will find numerous sample questions. This demo quiz is set up with questions and the question's answer with Answer reason.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. A 42-year-old with dyspnoea and chest asymmetry
B. A 17-year-old with a fractured arm
C. A 4-year-old with facial lacerations
D. A 30-year-old with blunt abdominal trauma
Following the ABCDs of basic emergency care, the client with dyspnea and asymmetrical chest should be cared for first because these symptoms are associated with flail chest. Answer D is incorrect because he should be cared for second because of the likelihood of organ damage and bleeding. Answer B is incorrect because he should be cared for after the client with abdominal trauma. Answer C is incorrect because he should receive care last because his injuries are less severe.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. TSH levels (thyroid-stimulating hormone levels)
B. AST levels (aspartate aminotransferase levels)
C. HCG levels (human gonaditropin levels)
D. LDH levels (lactic dehyrogenase levels)
Liver enzymes such as AST should be assessed along with renal function (creatinine levels) and cardiac function. Answer A is not correct because this medication does not alter thyroid function. Answer C is not correct because HCG levels are not affected by rosiglitazone (Avandia). This hormone is associated with pregnancy. Answer D is incorrect because an elevated LDH is associated with muscle trauma. It is, however, elevated in a myocardial infarction.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Tracheal deviation toward the affected side
B. Symmetry of the thorax and equal breath sounds
C. Tracheal deviation toward the unaffected side
D. Decreased heart rate and decreased respirations
Assessment of the client with a tension pneumothorax reveals tracheal deviations towards the unaffected side. Answer A is incorrect because the deviation is toward the unaffected, not the affected side. Answer B is incorrect because the thorax is asymmetrical and breath sounds are absent on the affected side. Answer D is incorrect because the heart rate and respiratory rate are not decreased.
The Correct Answer is Option B
A. Place a tourniquet proximal to the laceration
B. Elevate the leg above the level of the heart
C. Cover the laceration and apply an ice compress
D. Apply pressure to the femoral artery
If bleeding does not subside with direct pressure, the nurse should elevate the extremity above the level of the heart. Answers A and D are done only if other measures are ineffective, so they are incorrect. Answer C would slow the bleeding, but will not stop it, so it’s incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Recent cardio thoracic surgery
B. Diabetes mellitus
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Emphysema
Recent abdominal or thoracic surgery are contraindications for chest physiotherapy. Chest physiotherapy includes the use of percussion, vibration and postural chest drainage. Chest physiotherapy is not contraindicated for the client with diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, or emphysema, therefore answers B, C, and D are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. AV node
B. Purkinje fibers
C. SA node
D. Bundle of His
The pacemaker of the heart is the SA node. The impulse moves from the SA node to the AV node on to the right and left bundle branches and finally to the Purkinje fibers. This makes answers A, B, and D incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Amevive (alefacept)
B. Folex (methotrexate)
C. Famvir (famciclovir)
D. Raptiva (efalizumab)
Famvir (famciclovir), an antiviral medication, is used to shorten the outbreak of herpes zoster. Amevive, Folex, and Raptiva are used in the treatment of the client with psoriasis; therefore, answers A, B, and D are incorrect.
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 D
A. 1400
B. 1500
C. 1600
D. 1700
Blood must be finished within four hours of the start time. Answers in A, B, and C are before the 4-hour time limit, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. The client receiving radium linear accelerator radiation therapy for cancer
B. The client with a radium implant for vaginal cancer
C. The client who has just been administered radioactive isotopes for cancer
D. The client who returned from placement of iridium seeds for prostate cancer
The pregnant nurse should not be assigned to any client with radioactivity present. The client receiving linear accelerator therapy travels to the radium department for therapy, and the radiation stays in the department. Thus, the client is not radioactive. The client in answer B poses a risk to the pregnant client, so answer B is incorrect. Answer C is incorrect because the client is radioactive in very small doses. For approximately 72 hours, the client should dispose of urine and feces in special containers and use plastic spoons and forks. The client in answer D is also radioactive in small amounts, especially upon return from the procedure, so answer D is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Two hour post-prandial
B. Dextrostix
C. Glucose tolerance test
D. Hemoglobin A-1C
The most indicative test of diabetes is the glucose tolerance test. Answers A and B are used to detect an elevated blood glucose level, but are not the best to detect diabetes. Answer D is incorrect because this test detects compliance.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Restrict fluids 200mL/shift
B. Ice to painful joints
C. Start O2 at 3 L/min
D. Ambulate in hall every 2 hours
It is not unusual for patients to receive oxygen to prevent additional sickling of cells. The answers in A and B are incorrect because these are contraindicated in sickle cell anemia. Answer D is not recommended for patients in sickle cell crisis, so it is incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Syndenham’s chorea
B. Polymigratory arthritis
C. Splinter hemorrhages
D. Erythema marginatum
Splinter hemorrhages, dark lines beneath the nails, are associated with embolization. Answers A, B, and D are associated with rheumatic fever, not infective bacterial endocarditis; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Lub-dub sounds
B. Scratchy, leathery heart noise
C. A blowing or swooshing noise
D. Abrupt, high-pitched snapping noise
A heart murmur is an abnormal heart sound and is described as a faint or loud blowing, swooshing sound with a high, medium, or low pitch. Lub-dub sounds are normal and represent the S1 (first) heart sound and S2 (second) heart sound, respectively. A pericardial friction rub is described as a scratchy, leathery heart sound. A click is described as an abrupt, high-pitched snapping sound.
The Correct Answer is Option C
A. Stabilize clots in the vascular system
B. Decrease the chance of a blood reaction
C. Eliminate iron excess
D. Boost oxygen delivery to the cells
A chelating agent such as deferoxamine (Desferal) is given to eliminate excess iron. The answers in A, B, and D are not the action of chelating agents, so they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is True
The Correct Answer is Option A
A. Stop the blood transfusion and keep the vein open with normal saline
B. Administer epinephrine per unit protocol
C. Notify the physician
D. Obtain a set of vital signs
The nurse would first ensure that the patient doesn’t get any more of the wrong blood due to displaying symptoms of a hemolytic blood reaction. Answers B, C, and D are proper actions with a blood transfusion reaction, but none is the initial action, so they are incorrect.
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
A. Walk one to two steps ahead with the client’s hand on the nurse’s elbow
B. Walk beside the client while holding her hand.
C. Walk one to two steps behind with the nurse’s hand on the client’s elbow.
D. Walk beside the client without touching her.
When ambulating the client who is blind, the nurse should allow the client to grasp his arm at the elbow. The nurse’s arm should be kept close to the body so that the client can detect the nurse’s direction or movement. Answers B, C, and D are improper ways of ambulating the client who is blind; therefore, they are incorrect.
The Correct Answer is Option D
A. Ambu bag
B. IV controller
C. Bit drill
D. Torque screwdriver
This equipment is necessary in case the pins become loose. The family should also be instructed in this before discharge for home care. The answers in A, B, and C are not necessary are appropriate due to a halo vest application.
