2. Question
A 28-year-old male has been found wandering around in a
confusing pattern. The male is sweaty and pale. Which of the
following tests is most likely to be performed first?
o A. Blood sugar check
o B. CT scan
o C. Blood cultures
o D. Arterial blood gases
Correct Answer: A. Blood sugar check
With a history of diabetes, the first response should be to check
blood sugar levels.
o Option B: Performing a CT scan at this stage of
assessment is unnecessary. A computerized
tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray
images taken from different angles around the body
and uses computer processing to create cross-
sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels,
and soft tissues inside the body. CT scan images
provide more detailed information than plain X-rays
do.
o Option C: A blood culture test helps the doctor figure
out if the client has a kind of infection that is in the
bloodstream and can affect the entire body. Doctors
call this a systemic infection. The test checks a sample
of the blood for bacteria or yeast that might be
causing the infection.
o Option D: An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures
oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It also
measures the body’s acid-base (pH) level, which is
usually in balance when healthy.
, 3. Question
A mother is inquiring about her child’s ability to potty train. Which
of the following factors is the most important aspect of toilet
training?
o A. The age of the child
o B. The child's ability to understand instruction
o C. The overall mental and physical abilities of the
child
o D. Frequent attempts with positive reinforcement
Correct Answer: C. The overall mental and physical
abilities of the child.
Age is not the greatest factor in potty training. The overall mental
and physical abilities of the child are the most important factor.
o Option A: Readiness for toilet training varies with
every age of the child.
o Option B: A child who can follow simple instructions
may start toilet training. However, it is not considered
the most important factor.
o Option D: Positive reinforcement is a great tool for
toilet training, yet, it may not be the most important
one.
4. Question
A parent calls the pediatric clinic and is frantic about the bottle of
cleaning fluid her child drank for 20 minutes. Which of the
following is the most important instruction the nurse can give the
parent?
o A. This too shall pass
o B. Take the child immediately to the ER
o C. Contact the Poison Control Center quickly
o D. Give the child syrup of ipecac
, Correct Answer: C. Contact the Poison Control Center
quickly.
The poison control center will have an exact plan of action for this
child.
o Option A: Ingestion of a chemical is an emergency
and should not be delayed.
o Option B: Taking the client to the ER may be correct,
however, they will still have to contact the Poison
Control Center.
o Option D: It should not be given to someone who
swallowed chemicals that cause burns on contact or
medicines that can cause seizures very quickly. It can
be dangerous to people with some types of medical
problems. When such poisoning victims got Ipecac
anyway, they developed serious complications or even
died.
5. Question
A nurse is administering a shot of Vitamin K to a 30 day-old
infant. Which of the following target areas is
the most appropriate?
o A. Gluteus maximus
o B. Gluteus minimus
o C. Vastus lateralis
o D. Vastus medialis
Correct Answer: C. Vastus lateralis
Medications are injected into the bulkiest part of the vastus
lateralis thigh muscle, which is the junction of the upper and
middle thirds of this muscle.
o Option A: Intramuscular injections given at the
dorsogluteal and ventrogluteal sites are intended for
the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles,
respectively. However, little research has confirmed
the reliability of these sites for the presence and
thickness of the target and other muscles, and
subcutaneous fat.
