1. What is an example of proper body mechanics when lifting?

• A. Lifting the object with your back
• B. Standing with a narrow stance
• C. Lifting excessive weight to strengthen the muscles
• D. Holding the object close to the body

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Proper body mechanics include holding objects close to the body to prevent injury.

2. What is true about antiretroviral drugs used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?

• A. A few missed doses per month are acceptable
• B. Only specific licensed drugs are effective
• C. These drugs inhibit viral replication
• D. These drugs eradicate the virus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is that antiretroviral drugs inhibit viral replication. These medications work by interfering with the ability of the HIV virus to multiply in the body, helping to control the infection. Choice A is incorrect because consistency in taking antiretroviral drugs is crucial to their effectiveness. Missing doses can lead to treatment failure and the development of drug-resistant strains of HIV. Choice B is incorrect as there are multiple licensed drugs that are effective in treating HIV. Choice D is also incorrect as antiretroviral drugs do not kill the virus but rather suppress its replication.

3. What health teaching would not help an older adult avoid a musculoskeletal injury?

• A. Avoid home modification
• B. Wear a helmet when riding a bicycle
• C. Osteoporosis screening
• D. Fall prevention

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Avoiding home modifications can increase the risk of falls and injuries in older adults.

4. Convert 30 ml to ounces. (Type the answer as numeric only)

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

5. A client is diagnosed with glaucoma. The provider needs to determine if it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. What test does the nurse anticipate?

• A. Ultrasonic imaging
• B. Gonioscopy
• C. Corneal staining
• D. Electroretinography

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gonioscopy is the appropriate test to anticipate in this scenario. It is used to distinguish between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma by examining the angle where the iris meets the cornea. Choice A, ultrasonic imaging, is not typically used to differentiate between these types of glaucoma. Choice C, corneal staining, is used to detect corneal abrasions and defects, not to differentiate between types of glaucoma. Choice D, electroretinography, is a test that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina and is not specific to differentiating between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma.
