1. Which of the following ethical principles refers to the duty to do good?

• A. Beneficence
• B. Fidelity
• C. Veracity
• D. Nonmaleficence

2. Individuals who use antiretroviral drugs frequently develop insulin resistance and _____.

• A. hypertension
• B. hypothyroidism
• C. hyperlipidemia
• D. fluid retention

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: hyperlipidemia. Antiretroviral drugs can often lead to elevated lipid levels (hyperlipidemia), which is a common side effect of this therapy. This increase in lipids can contribute to cardiovascular risk. Hypertension (choice A) is not typically associated with antiretroviral drug use. Hypothyroidism (choice B) and fluid retention (choice D) are also not commonly linked to antiretroviral therapy.

3. Which type of bath would you recommend for a patient experiencing pruritus?

• A. Saline
• B. Colloidal (oatmeal)
• C. Water
• D. Sodium bicarbonate

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The best choice for a pruritus (itching) patient is a colloidal (oatmeal) bath, as it is known for its soothing effect on itchy, irritated skin. Saline, water, and sodium bicarbonate baths may not provide the same level of relief for pruritus. The nursing care should involve comprehensive assessments and appropriate interventions to optimize patient outcomes. In this case, a colloidal bath is the most suitable intervention for a patient experiencing pruritus.
