1. What term is used to describe the process of preparing the bed with a new set of linens?
- A. Bed bath
- B. Bed making
- C. Bed shampoo
- D. Bed lining
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Bed making.' Bed making is the term used to describe the process of preparing the bed with a new set of linens. This includes changing the sheets, pillowcases, and adding any additional bedding to make the bed clean, fresh, and comfortable for the next use. 'Bed bath' is typically associated with washing a patient in bed, 'Bed shampoo' is not a common term related to bed preparation, and 'Bed lining' does not accurately describe the process of changing linens on a bed.
2. A nurse is caring for a client who is 3 days postoperative following a bowel resection. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
- A. Heart rate of 80/min
- B. White blood cell count of 9,000/mm3
- C. Temperature of 37.8°C (100°F)
- D. Blood pressure of 118/78 mm Hg
Correct answer: C
Rationale: A temperature of 37.8°C (100°F) should be reported to the provider as it can indicate infection, a common postoperative complication. A normal heart rate of 80/min (Choice A), white blood cell count of 9,000/mm3 (Choice B), and blood pressure of 118/78 mm Hg (Choice D) are within normal ranges and do not necessarily indicate a complication postoperatively.
3. A client with a history of pancreatitis is being taught by a nurse. Which of the following food choices should the nurse instruct the client to avoid?
- A. Noodles
- B. Vegetable Soup
- C. Baked Fish
- D. Cheddar cheese
Correct answer: Cheddar cheese
Rationale: Patients with pancreatitis should avoid high-fat foods like cheddar cheese as they can exacerbate symptoms due to the organ's role in fat digestion. Noodles, vegetable soup, and baked fish are generally considered to be lower in fat content and are thus safer choices for individuals with pancreatitis.
4. A client is to receive thrombolytic therapy. Which of the following factors should be recognized as a contraindication to the therapy?
- A. Hip arthroplasty 2 weeks ago
- B. Elevated sedimentation rate
- C. Incident of exercise-induced asthma 1 week ago
- D. Elevated platelet count
Correct answer: Hip arthroplasty 2 weeks ago
Rationale: Thrombolytic therapy involves the use of medications to dissolve blood clots. Hip arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery) performed recently is a contraindication to thrombolytic therapy due to the risk of bleeding. Elevated sedimentation rate, exercise-induced asthma, and elevated platelet count are not contraindications to thrombolytic therapy.
5. In females, the twenty-third pair of chromosomes is labeled as __________.
- A. an autosome
- B. dizygotic
- C. XX
- D. XY
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In females, the twenty-third pair of chromosomes is indeed labeled as XX. This pair of chromosomes determines the biological sex of females. Choice A, 'an autosome,' is incorrect as autosomes refer to the non-sex chromosomes. Choice B, 'dizygotic,' is incorrect as it relates to twins. Choice D, 'XY,' is incorrect as it represents the chromosome pair found in males.
