1. The nurse notes that the fall might also cause a possible head injury. The patient will be observed for signs of increased intracranial pressure which include:
- A. Narrowing of the pulse pressure
- B. Vomiting
- C. Periorbital edema
- D. A positive Kernig's sign
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Periorbital edema is a sign of increased intracranial pressure. It is caused by fluid accumulation around the eyes due to compromised drainage. Narrowing of the pulse pressure is more indicative of shock than increased intracranial pressure. While vomiting can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, it is not as specific as periorbital edema. A positive Kernig's sign is associated with meningitis, not increased intracranial pressure.
2. According to ecological systems theory, interactions between Marina and her child, Tyler, occur in the __________. Copyright © 2018 Laura E. Berk. All Rights Reserved. 20 Test Bank for Berk, Development Through the Lifespan, 7e
- A. microsystem
- B. mesosystem
- C. exosystem
- D. macrosystem Answer: A Page Ref: 23 Skill Level: Apply Topic: Recent Theoretical Perspectives Difficulty Level: Moderate
Correct answer: A
Rationale: According to ecological systems theory, interactions between Marina and her child, Tyler, occur in the microsystem. The microsystem refers to the immediate social context in which an individual lives, such as interactions with family members, friends, and teachers. Marina and Tyler's interactions within their family unit would be considered part of the microsystem.
3. 1. Which patient action indicates good understanding of the nurse�s teaching about administration of aspart (NovoLog) insulin?
- A. The patient avoids injecting the insulin into the upper abdominal area
- B. The patient cleans the skin with soap and water before insulin administration.
- C. The patient stores the insulin in the freezer after administering the prescribed dose.
- D. The patient pushes the plunger down while removing the syringe from the injection site
Correct answer: B
Rationale:
4. Which of the following is a sign or symptom of a hemolytic reaction to a blood transfusion?
- A. Hemoglobinuria
- B. Chest pain
- C. Urticaria
- D. Distended neck veins
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Hemoglobinuria is a characteristic sign of a hemolytic reaction to a blood transfusion. Hemolytic reactions can lead to the destruction of red blood cells, causing the release of hemoglobin into the urine, which presents as hemoglobinuria. Chest pain, urticaria, and distended neck veins are not specific signs of a hemolytic reaction and may be associated with other conditions or reactions.
5. The activities of an anatomist consist of ______, whereas those of a physiologist consist of _____.
- A. observing body parts; studying functions of body parts
- B. conducting experiments; making microscopic examinations
- C. studying molecules; observing forms of the body parts
- D. sketching; dissecting
Correct answer: observing body parts; studying functions of body parts
Rationale: An anatomist focuses on observing the structure and morphology of body parts, such as organs, tissues, and cells, to understand their organization. On the other hand, a physiologist is more concerned with studying the functions and processes of these body parts, including how they work individually and together to maintain homeostasis. Therefore, the correct answer is 'observing body parts; studying functions of body parts.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the primary activities of anatomists and physiologists.
