Miss Imelda asked you, What is WET TO DRY Dressing method? Your best response is
- A. It is a type of mechanical debridement using Wet dressing that is applied and left to dry to remove dead tissues
- B. It is a type of surgical debridement with the use of Wet dressing to remove the necrotic tissues
- C. It is a type of dressing where in, The wound is covered with Wet or Dry dressing to prevent contamination
- D. It is a type of dressing where in, A cellophane or plastic is placed on the wound over a wet dressing to stimulate healing of the wound in a wet medium
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The wet-to-dry dressing method (A) is a mechanical debridement technique where a wet gauze is applied to a wound, then dries, adhering to and removing necrotic tissue when peeled off. Surgical debridement (B) involves cutting, not dressings. Option C misrepresents it as a protective dressing, ignoring debridement. Option D describes wet-to-moist dressings, not wet-to-dry. Wet-to-dry targets dead tissue removal, aiding healing in wounds like Imelda's, making A accurate and the best response.

When reading an autopsy report, the nurse encounters the term 'midsagittal plane.' This nurse understands that this means the body was viewed using a plane that matched which of the following descriptions?
- A. This plane cuts the body horizontally.
- B. This plane divides the body into front and back portions.
- C. The body is separated into left and right equal portions.
- D. The body is divided using an X across the chest.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Midsagittal plane splits the body into equal left-right halves, unlike horizontal, front-back, or X divisions. Nurses use this in anatomical understanding.
Which of the following statement best describe subjective data?
- A. Measurable by the nurse
- B. Reported by the client
- C. Always accurate
- D. A physical finding
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subjective data is reported by the client (B), per assessment e.g., pain level. Not measurable (A), not always accurate (C), not physical (D) client-based. B best defines subjective's source, making it correct.
Which of the following is responsible for the rhythm and quality of breathing?
- A. Medulla oblongata
- B. Pons
- C. Carotid bodies
- D. Aortic bodies
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The medulla oblongata's respiratory center sets breathing rhythm and depth e.g., 12-20 breaths/min via dorsal and ventral groups. Pons refines, carotid/aortic bodies adjust via chemo input. Nurses assess this e.g., in COPD for foundational respiratory function, per neurophysiology.
Which of the following statement best describe the resistance stage of GAS?
- A. Body shuts down due to stress
- B. Body adapts to stress
- C. Immediate reaction to stress
- D. Permanent damage occurs
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Resistance stage is body adapting to stress (B), per GAS sustaining effort (e.g., cortisol stabilizes). Shutdown (A) and damage (D) are exhaustion, immediate (C) alarm. B best defines resistance's coping phase, making it correct.
When assisting a client with bilateral casts on her hands with feeding, what action should the nurse take?
- A. Sit at the bedside when feeding the client
- B. Provide pureed foods
- C. Ensure feedings are provided at room temperature
- D. Offer the client a drink of fluid after every bite
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When assisting a client with bilateral casts on her hands with feeding, the nurse should sit at the bedside. This action is crucial to provide the client with the nurse's full attention during the feeding process. Sitting at the bedside helps avoid appearing rushed and ensures a safe and comfortable environment for the client. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because while they may be relevant in other situations, the priority when assisting a client with bilateral casts on her hands is to ensure proper attention and a comfortable setting during feeding.
