The ff are the tonometer measurements of five clients. Which of them has normal intraocular pressure (IOP)? Choose all that apply
- A. 8 mm Hg
- B. 25 mm Hg
- C. 11 mm Hg
- D. 28 mm Hg
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Normal intraocular pressure (IOP) typically ranges between 10 and 21 mm Hg. For this reason, the tonometer measurements of 11 mm Hg and 20 mm Hg fall within the normal range. Therefore, clients with these IOP values (Option C and E) have normal intraocular pressure. The other options (A, B, and D) are outside the normal range for IOP and are therefore considered elevated.

While Andres is being assessed at the clinic, Nurse Shiela observed that the child appears to be small, with an immature face and chubby body build. Her parents stated that their child's rate of growth of all body parts is somewhat slow, but her proportions and intelligence remain normal. As a knowledgeable nurse, you know that the child has a deficiency of which of the following?
- A. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
- B. Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
- C. Growth hormone (GH)
- D. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child described in the scenario displays characteristics consistent with growth hormone deficiency. Growth hormone is essential for the growth and development of bones, muscles, and other tissues in the body. A deficiency in growth hormone can result in growth retardation, where the child appears small with slow growth rates of body parts. Despite the physical stunting, intelligence remains normal as growth hormone does not affect intellectual development. Treatment for growth hormone deficiency usually involves hormone replacement therapy to help the child achieve normal growth and development.
Another girl was bitten by a poisonous snake. All of the following are true except
- A. The victim of a snake bite should be made to exercise the bitten extremity to hasten circulation
- B. The bite of a poisonous snake is distinguished by two fang marks
- C. Immediate severe pain and swelling distinguished the bite of a poisonous snake
- D. The tourniquet should be tight enough to prevent superficial circulation of blood thus stopping absorption of the poison
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When it comes to snake bites, one should not exercise the bitten extremity as it can increase the spread of venom in the body. Moving the affected limb can potentially lead to the venom spreading more quickly through the lymphatic system and into the bloodstream. Therefore, it is essential to keep the victim as calm and still as possible to minimize the effects of the venom. Proper first aid for snake bites includes keeping the victim calm, immobilizing the bitten limb, and seeking immediate medical attention.
Which of the following is the most common symptoms of pericarditis?
- A. Dyspnea c.Chest pain
- B. Intermittent claudication
- C. Calf pain
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most common symptom of pericarditis is chest pain. This chest pain is typically sharp and stabbing, and it may worsen when taking deep breaths or lying down. It can also be relieved by sitting up or leaning forward. Other symptoms of pericarditis may include dyspnea (shortness of breath), but chest pain is the hallmark symptom that differentiates pericarditis from other conditions. Intermittent claudication and calf pain are not typically associated with pericarditis.
An adolescent girl asks the school nurse for advice because she has dysmenorrhea. She says that a friend recommended she try an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The nurse's response should be based on which statement?
- A. Aspirin is the drug of choice for the treatment of dysmenorrhea.
- B. Over-the-counter NSAIDs are rarely strong enough to provide adequate pain relief.
- C. NSAIDs are effective because of their analgesic effect.
- D. NSAIDs are effective because they inhibit prostaglandins, leading to reduction in uterine activity.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: NSAIDs are effective for treating dysmenorrhea because they work by inhibiting prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing increased uterine activity and thus pain during menstruation. By reducing prostaglandin levels, NSAIDs help to decrease uterine contractions and consequently alleviate menstrual cramps. This mechanism of action makes NSAIDs an appropriate and effective choice for managing dysmenorrhea.
