Nokea
Cytomegalovirus causes:
- A. infantile bronchiolitis
- B. retinitis
- C. chronic
- D. neonatal encephalitis
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CMV retinitis blinds HIV, not bronchiolitis, vague chronic, brain hits, or Kaposi's herpes 8. Nurses eye this chronic sight thief.

Self-management is an important principle in optimal management and prevention of exacerbation. In order for the patient to self-manage appropriately, which of the following is not required?
- A. Understanding of the pathophysiology of disease, nature of inflammation and bronchoconstriction and trigger avoidance
- B. Education on medication compliance, use of devices and correct inhalation technique, as well as when to increase dosage
- C. Assessment by multidisciplinary team to address additional health concerns
- D. Development of an action plan in knowledge on when to implement and when to seek assistance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asthma self-rule needs know-how pathology, meds, triggers, action plans not a full team probe. That's extra, not must-have; core's patient-led. Nurses train this, a chronic solo skill.
The nurse is caring for a patient with an advanced stage of breast cancer and the patient has recently learned that her cancer has metastasized. The nurse enters the room and finds the patient struggling to breathe and the nurse's rapid assessment reveals that the patient's jugular veins are distended. The nurse should suspect the development of what oncologic emergency?
- A. Increased intracranial pressure
- B. Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS)
- C. Spinal cord compression
- D. Metastatic tumor of the neck
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dyspnea plus distended jugulars scream SVCS breast cancer's mets can squeeze the vena cava, blocking venous return from the head and chest. It's an oncology emergency, fast-tracking to edema and airway issues if unchecked. Intracranial pressure needs brain involvement less likely here. Spinal compression hits legs and bladder, not breathing. Neck tumors might press locally, but SVCS fits this picture. Nurses jump on this, pushing for steroids or stenting, knowing seconds count.
The pathophysiology of Asthma differs from COPD as:
- A. It is characterised by airflow limitation.
- B. There is abnormal inflammatory response to exposure to noxious particles or gases.
- C. The airflow limitation is reversible.
- D. It is considered an obstructive lung disease.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Asthma and COPD both feature airflow obstruction, but their pathophysiology diverges critically. Both have limitation, but asthma's is intermittent and reversible with bronchodilators due to bronchial hyperresponsiveness and inflammation (e.g., eosinophilic), per Farrell (2017). COPD's abnormal inflammatory response to noxious stimuli (e.g., smoking) causes progressive, irreversible damage (e.g., neutrophilic, emphysema), not asthma's profile. Reversibility defines asthma spirometry normalizes post-treatment unlike COPD's fixed obstruction (FEVâ‚/FVC <0.7 persists). Both are obstructive diseases, but this isn't the distinguishing feature. Asthma's reversible limitation stems from smooth muscle spasm and mucosal edema, responsive to therapy, contrasting COPD's structural loss (alveolar destruction), making this the key differential in clinical management and prognosis.
Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? The treatment of diabetes in traditional Chinese medicine involves
- A. Formula for Diabetes (Xiaoke Fang) for the Upper Type: Heat in the Lung which consumes Body Fluid
- B. Jade Maid Decoction (Yunu Jiang) for the Middle Type: excessive Heat in the Stomach
- C. Six Ingredients Rehmannia Pill (Liuwei Dihuang Wan) for the Lower Type: excessive of Kidney Yin and excessive of Yin and Yang
- D. Yam (Dioscorea opposita)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Traditional Chinese diabetes care Upper, Middle, Lower types nails Lung heat, Stomach fire, but Kidney's Yin deficiency, not excess Yin-Yang, flops. Xiaoke Fang, Yunu Jiang fit; Liuwei Dihuang Wan balances, doesn't overdo; yam's a lone root, not typed. Clinicians spot this, a chronic TCM misstep.
According to the World Health Organization's ICF Bio-Psycho-Social Model, which of the following factors is an environmental contextual factor?
- A. Social background
- B. Behaviour pattern
- C. Social attitudes
- D. Coping style
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ICF's environment slot social attitudes shape disability's feel, a nurse's external lens. Background, behavior, coping are personal, not outer. It's a chronic context key, world over self.
