3. Since both A and B are accurate statements, the correct answer is D.
Summary:
- Choice A is correct because the PNS is located outside the CNS.
- Choice B is correct as the PNS includes nerves and ganglia.
- Choice C is incorrect as it refers to the CNS (Brain & Spinal cord).

- A. Treatment is supportive
- B. Only occurs with transplanted kidneys

Which of the following correctly explains an epitope?
- A. Region of antibody that binds with antigen
- B. Region of antigen that elicit secretion of specific antibody
- C. Heavy chain of an antibody
- D. V-region of the light chain of antibody
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Explanation:
An epitope is a specific region on an antigen that elicits the immune response and triggers the production of a specific antibody. Therefore, choice B is correct as it accurately defines an epitope. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe what an epitope is. Choice A refers to the paratope, the region of the antibody that binds to the epitope. Choice C refers to a component of the antibody structure, and choice D refers to a specific region of the antibody structure.
A patient had abdominal surgery 3 months ago and calls the clinic with complaints of severe abdominal pain and cramping, vomiting, and bloating. What should the nurse most likely suspect as the cause of the patient’s problem?
- A. Infection
- B. Adhesion
- C. Contracture
- D. Evisceration
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Postoperative adhesions can form after abdominal surgeries, causing obstruction and symptoms such as pain, cramping, vomiting, and bloating. Adhesions are bands of fibrous tissue that develop during the healing process.
A patient with wheezing and coughing caused by an allergic reaction to penicillin is admitted to the emergency department (ED). Which of these medications do you anticipate administering first?
- A. methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) 100 mg IV
- B. cromolyn sodium (Intal) 20 mg per nebulizer
- C. albuterol (Proventil) 0.5 mL per nebulizer
- D. aminophylline 500 mg IV over 20 minutes
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Albuterol is a bronchodilator that acts quickly to relieve wheezing and coughing caused by bronchospasm. It is the first-line treatment for acute allergic reactions affecting the airways. The other medications may be used as adjuncts but are not as immediately effective in relieving bronchospasm.
The MMR (Measles, MUMPs, Rubella) vaccine has been the object of controversy after a report (lately declared fraudulent) of an association with development of:
- A. Multiple sclerosis
- B. Autism
- C. Encephalitis
- D. Epilepsy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Autism. The controversy surrounding the MMR vaccine and autism emerged from a fraudulent report that falsely claimed a link between the two. Numerous scientific studies have since debunked this association, confirming the safety of the MMR vaccine. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex etiology, involving genetic and environmental factors, but not vaccines. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as there is no proven causal link between the MMR vaccine and multiple sclerosis, encephalitis, or epilepsy.
