Fundamentals of Nursing [ Question No: 1 To 13 ] :
Which is the correct sequence of primary and secondary wound healing?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The correct sequence is Inflammation → Proliferation → Maturation.
After haemostasis, wound healing passes through an inflammatory phase that clears debris and bacteria, a proliferative phase in which granulation tissue, new vessels and epithelium fill the wound, and a maturation (remodelling) phase in which collagen is reorganised and the scar strengthens over months.
The order is the same for primary and secondary intention; secondary healing simply takes longer. The other options place proliferation or maturation before inflammation, or reverse the last two.
Nursing care focused on palliative care and not curative treatment is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The answer is Hospice nursing care.
Hospice care is for people with a terminal illness when cure is no longer the aim. It focuses on relieving pain and other symptoms and on emotional and spiritual support for the patient and family, so that the remaining life is as comfortable as possible.
Psychiatric nursing deals with mental illness, community nursing with health in homes and the community, and hospital nursing with acute care. All of these may include curative treatment, so none is defined by palliation alone.
Which of the following is not one of the "five rights" of medication administration?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The one that is not among the five rights is Right environment.
The classic five rights of medication administration are the right patient, right drug, right dose, right route and right time. Checking all five before giving any medicine prevents most medication errors.
Right patient, right dose and right time are therefore part of the list. Later expansions add rights such as right documentation and right reason, but 'right environment' is not one of them.
Which of the following is not one of Virginia Henderson's 14 basic needs of a patient?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The one that is not among Henderson's needs is Social work.
Virginia Henderson listed 14 basic needs that nursing helps a patient meet, beginning with breathing normally, eating and drinking adequately and eliminating body wastes, and going on to movement, sleep, clothing, temperature, hygiene, safety, communication, worship, work, recreation and learning.
Her list includes working in a way that gives a sense of accomplishment, but 'social work', a profession, is not one of the needs. The other three options come straight from the list.
Which of the following are the emotional responses to illness?
1. Overdependency
2. Stress
3. Fear
4. Feeling of helplessness
5. Feeling of hopefulness
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The emotional responses are 1, 2, 3, 4.
Illness commonly brings overdependency on others, stress, fear about the outcome and pain, and a feeling of helplessness or loss of control. Nurses are taught to recognise these responses and support the patient through them.
A feeling of hopefulness is a positive coping state that care tries to build, not a typical emotional response to falling ill. So every option including 5 is wrong.
For effective sterilization in an autoclave for 30 minutes the steam should be at :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The steam should be at 1.05 kg/cm2 pressure and 121°C.
An autoclave sterilises with saturated steam under pressure. About 15 lb per square inch above atmospheric pressure, roughly 1.05 kg/cm2, raises the boiling point of water to 121°C, and holding that temperature for the set time kills bacteria, viruses and resistant spores.
100°C is the boiling point at normal pressure, which does not reliably kill spores. A pressure of 2.05 kg/cm2 would give a much higher temperature than 121°C, so it does not pair with that figure either.
Which of the following is not the infection control practices to interrupt mode of transmission? (Choose the most appropriate option from below)
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The practice that does not interrupt transmission is Antibiotic medicines.
Infection control breaks the chain of infection at the mode of transmission by stopping microbes from passing from one person or object to another. Antibiotics act on bacteria inside an already infected person, so they treat infection rather than block its spread.
Hand washing removes organisms from the hands, personal protective equipment such as gloves, gowns and masks puts a barrier between the source and the worker, and proper disposal of contaminated objects removes a vehicle of spread. All three interrupt transmission.
Which of the following statements are true for biomedical waste?
1. Red coloured non-chlorinated plastic bags are used for disposable items like catheters, gloves etc.
2. Blue puncture proof containers are used for disposal of syringes with fixed needles.
3. Yellow coloured non-chlorinated plastic bags are used for human anatomical waste.
4. White cardboard boxes are used for disposal of medicine vials.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The true statements are 1, 3 only.
Under the Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, red non-chlorinated plastic bags take contaminated recyclable waste such as tubing, catheters, gloves and syringes without needles (1). Yellow non-chlorinated bags take human anatomical waste, soiled dressings and other infectious waste for incineration (3).
Statement 2 is wrong: syringes with fixed needles, and other sharps, go into white translucent puncture-proof containers. Statement 4 is wrong: glassware, including medicine vials, goes into blue cardboard boxes, not white ones.
Select the criteria for a good disinfectant from the following:
1. It can be toxic to domestic animals.
2. It must destroy the pathogens.
3. It must not be toxic to humans.
4. It should be costly.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The criteria are 2 and 3.
A good disinfectant must reliably destroy pathogenic organisms (2) and must not be toxic to humans when used as directed (3). Other desirable qualities are that it acts quickly, is stable, does not damage the articles treated, is easy to use and is cheap.
Being toxic to domestic animals is a hazard, not a criterion (1), and a disinfectant should be economical, not costly (4). Any option containing 1 or 4 is therefore wrong.
Bradycardia i.e. a decrease in heart rate is usually found in ______.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Bradycardia is usually found in athletes in training.
Regular endurance training strengthens the heart, so each beat pumps more blood. The heart then needs fewer beats a minute, and a resting rate below 60, sometimes in the 40s, is common and healthy in trained athletes.
The other groups tend to have faster heart rates. Newborns normally have a rate of about 120-160 a minute. In pregnancy the heart rate rises by about 10-20 beats as blood volume increases. In anaemia the heart beats faster to make up for the blood's lower oxygen-carrying capacity.
The normal adult body temperature is ______ or ______ .
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The normal adult body temperature is 98.6° F, or 37° C.
The two figures are the same temperature on two scales:
\[ \begin{aligned} F &= \tfrac{9}{5}C + 32 \\ &= \tfrac{9}{5} \times 37 + 32 = 98.6 \end{aligned} \]
The other options fail. 35° C is hypothermia, and 97.9° F is not even equal to 35° C. 39° C and 40° C are fever temperatures, and 99.2° F and 99.8° F do not convert to them either.
The process of listening to the sounds that are generated within the body for physical examination of the client is called ______.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The process is called Auscultation.
Auscultation means listening to sounds produced inside the body, such as heart, breath and bowel sounds, usually with a stethoscope.
Palpation is examining by touch, feeling for size, texture, tenderness or pulsations. Percussion is tapping the body surface and judging the sound it makes, for example the dullness over fluid. Manipulation is not one of the four classic techniques of physical examination, which are inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation.
What is health assessment?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Health assessment is evaluation of health status by performing physical examination after taking a health history.
In nursing, a health assessment is a systematic collection of data about a person's health. It has two parts: the health history (the subjective data, from what the client reports) and the physical examination (the objective data, by inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation). Both together give a picture of the person's health status.
Planning care and treatment comes later, in the planning step of the nursing process. Identifying special needs is part of what assessment yields, not its definition. Noting the health history alone leaves out the physical examination, so it is incomplete.
