Explanation:
This condition man is due to cardiac arrest and the treatment that could have been done is CPR and then defibrillation.
The cardiac arrest can be defined as the condition by which there is a abrupt loss of heart function who may or may not be diagnosed with heart disease.
It can be fatal if not cured properly and immediately. It can be cured by providing CPR and defibrillation which cure this problem.
hence,the correct answer is option C
Answer:
Sudden cardiac arrest; CPR, defibrillation
Explanation:
Fetal circulation differs from the circulatory path of the newborn infant. In utero the fetus has a hole connecting the right and left atria of the heart. This allows oxygenated blood to quickly pass to the major organs of the body. What is this hole called?
Answer:
Foramen ovale
Explanation:
The foramen ovale is a hole that communicates the right side with the left side of the heart. During pregnancy, it is this communication that enables the fetus to receive its mother's oxygenated blood to develop since its lungs still do not function. Soon after birth, there is the natural closure of the foramen ovale. However, in a minority of people this natural closure does not occur and the foramen ovale remains open, ie patent, throughout life.

Parkinson disease may be defined as the neurological disorder that can cause the stiffness and shaking of the hand. This disease gets worse with the increasing age.
A nurse must take care a Parkinson's patient that has been referred to the home. The orthostatic changes like blood loss, blood pressure and pulse of the patient must be measure and necessary steps must be taken to bring the normal physiological condition of the body. The patients should remembered and should provide the adequate meals. The strengthening exercise must be prescribed to the client.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1), (3), and (5).
A woman has just received the news that she is pregnant. She is ambivalent about the pregnancy because she had planned to go back to work when her youngest child started school next year. What developmental task of pregnancy must the woman accomplish in the first trimester of pregnancy?
a. Recognize her ambivalence.
b. Accept that she is pregnant.
c. Prepare for the birth of the baby.
d. Recognize the fetus as an individual separate from the mother.
Answer: c. Prepare for the birth of the baby.
Explanation:
The tenure of the pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks. This tenure is distributed into three trimesters. The first trimester is the tenure in which the fertilization takes place by the sperms to the egg till the fetus development which ends 12 weeks of the pregnancy.
This period is initial and crucial period for the development of the fetus. The women has make up her mindset according to the situation that she has conceived and she has to prepare herself for the child birth.
A diabetes educator is teaching a group of adults about the risks to vision that result from poorly controlled blood glucose levels. Which of the following pathophysiologic processes underlies the vision loss associated with diabetes mellitus?a) Increased blood glucose levels cause osmotic changes in the aqueous humour.b) Blood vessels supplying the retina become weak and bleeding occurs.c) Diabetes is associated with recurrent corneal infections and consequent scarring.d) Diabetes contributes to increased intraocular pressure.
Answer:b) Blood vessels supplying the retina become weak and bleeding occurs.
Explanation:
Diabetes milletus affects the blood vessels of the light sensitive cells of the retina. Thus the blood supply to retina stops. This leads to the loss of vision and blindness in adults. This is because of the uncontrolled blood sugar levels in case of diabetes milletus.
The client is 32 weeks pregnant and has been referred for biophysical profile (BPP) after a nonreassuring nonstress test (NST). Which statement made by the client indicates that the nurse's explanation of the procedure was effective?a. The BPP is a screening for neural tube defects.b. The BPP is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume.c. The BPP is a blood test to detect placental problems.d. The BPP is a diagnostic procedure whereby a needle is inserted into the amniotic sac to obtain fluid.
Answer:
The BPP is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume.
Explanation:
The fetal biophysical profile, or BPP, is an exam, a type of ultrasound, that assesses the well-being of the fetus from the third trimester of pregnancy, and is able to assess the parameters and activities of the baby, from body movements. , breathing movements, proper growth, amniotic fluid volume, and heartbeat. These parameters are important because they reflect the functioning of the baby's nervous system and its oxygenation state, so that if any problem is identified, treatment can be performed as soon as possible with the baby still in the womb.
It is important that the pregnant woman undergoing this test understand what the procedure means. For this reason, we can conclude that the pregnant woman understood what BPP is when she states that "BPP is an ultrasound that measures respiration, body movement, tone and amniotic fluid volume."
The BPP is an ultrasound evaluation that includes fetal breathing, body movement, muscle tone, amniotic fluid volume assessments, and NST, which checks for fetal health.
The correct statement made by the client that indicates an effective explanation of a biophysical profile (BPP) given by the nurse is: "The BPP is an ultrasound that measures breathing, body movement, tone, and amniotic fluid volume." A BPP is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, which includes assessments of the fetus's breathing movements, gross body movements, muscle tone, and the amount of amniotic fluid, as well as the nonstress test (NST). This procedure helps check for fetal health and is typically conducted after a nonreassuring NST to provide additional information about the fetus's condition.

An infant born at 36 weeks’ gestation weighs 4 lbs 3 oz (1,899 g) and has Apgar scores of 7 and 9. Which nursing actions will be performed upon the infant’s admission to the nursery?
Answer:
Recording of vital signs. Evaluation of the neonate's health status. Supportive measures to keep the neonate's body temperature stable.Explanation:
The normal weight of a newborn (or at 36 weeks gestation) should be between 2,500g and 3,800-4,000g. Accordingly, we can see that the baby exposed in the question is slightly underweight.
In addition, the baby has the 7th and 9th Apgar test, which is a test that assesses the newborn's immediate adjustment to extrauterine life, assessing their vitality conditions. An 8 to 10 grade present in about 90% of newborns means that the baby was born in excellent condition. A score of 7 means the baby had a slight difficulty.
According to the conditions presented by the baby, it is necessary for the nurse to do some things before admitting the baby to the hospital nursery. The most appropriate procedures to be performed by the nurse in this case are:
Recording of vital signs. Evaluation of the neonate's health status. Supportive measures to keep the neonate's body temperature stable.Rashad is in the hospital and is about to undergo a brain-imaging process that involves placing him inside a magnetic field so that a computer can create three-dimensional images of his brain. What procedure is he about to undergo?
Answer:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Explanation:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most widely performed exams in the world at the most modern medical centers and has revolutionized the diagnosis, used in virtually all medical specialties and for patients of all ages, even babies.
It is an exam that does not use radiation, but acquires the information provided by the magnetic field and radiofrequency waves generated by the machine and translated by a special computer. Every day new and better techniques are launched creating detailed images for disease research and treatment follow-up. In short, magnetic resonance imaging is a procedure where a patient is placed within a magnetic field so that a computer can create three-dimensional images of his brain, or other body part that needs to be examined.
Months after she was beaten up by a robber. Courtney's heart pounds with fear merely at the sight of the place in which she was attacked. The location of her attack is most likely a(n) __________ for Courtney's anxiety.
Agoraphobia is the anxiety disorder affecting Courtney's fear of the location where she was attacked.
Agoraphobia is the condition that describes Courtney's anxiety towards the location where she was attacked. This anxiety disorder is characterized by feeling that a place is uncomfortable or unsafe, making escape difficult or embarrassing.
People suffering from agoraphobia may avoid places associated with past trauma, like Courtney's fear of the location where she was attacked. This avoidance behavior is a common feature of this anxiety disorder.
In the second hour after the client gives birth her uterus is firm, above the level of the umbilicus, and to the right of midline. What is the most appropriate nursing action at this time?
The proper nursing action when the uterus is firm, above the umbilicus, and to the right of midline post-birth is to assess for and alleviate bladder distention to facilitate uterine involution and reduce the risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Explanation:In the second hour after the client gives birth her uterus is firm, above the level of the umbilicus, and to the right of midline. The most appropriate nursing action at this time is to assess the bladder for distention. A uterus that is firm and deviated to one side, especially the right, often indicates a full bladder displacing the uterus. A full bladder can impede the process of involution, where the uterus contracts to return to its pre-pregnancy size, and can increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The nurse should encourage the client to void or, if necessary, consider catheterization to relieve bladder distention, facilitating the uterus to return to midline and promote effective involution.

A client has a diagnosis of HIV and has been admitted to the hospital with an opportunistic infection that originated with the client's normal flora. Why did this client most likely become ill from his resident microorganisms?A) the client's normal flora began producing sporesB) the client's normal flora proliferated because of nutritional deficitC) the resident microorganisms mutated and have became virulentD) the client's immune system became further weakened
Answer:
D) the client's immune system became further weakened
Explanation:
Instead of causing disease, the body's normal flora usually protects the body from other disease-causing organisms. However, under certain circumstances, microorganisms that are part of a person's normal flora can cause disease. This can happen in HIV-infected individuals. Some medicines used to treat HIV, especially lopinavir and ritonavir, may be associated with changes in bowel habits, such as a weakened immune system, normal flora may weaken it and lead to opportunistic infection.
A nurse cares for a client with megaloblastic anemia who had a total gastrectomy three years ago. What statement will the nurse include in the client's teaching regarding the condition?
A. "The condition is likely caused by a folate deficiency."
B. "The condition is likely caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency."
C. "The condition causes abnormally rigid red blood cells."
D. "The condition causes abnormally small red blood cells."
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor to be absorbed. This factor is secreted by parietal cells of the gastric mucosa. So it is common that patients who have had a gastrectomy develop this type of anemia.
Also Vitamin B12 is key to maturation of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and its deficiency leads to abnormal shapes (particularly more rounded erythrocytes). So options C and D can be rule out.
Prisha is hoping to conduct a survey at her school to find out the student body's opinion of the new cafeteria food. If she is utilizing a social science approach, what may be one of the limitations she faces by using this approach with her survey?
Answer:
It is difficult to fully assess thoughts and feelings through survey questions.
Explanation:
Social Sciences is a branch of sciences, distinct from the humanities, that studies the social aspects of the human world. Prisha wants to use social science concepts to conduct research at her school to uncover student opinion about the cafeteria's new food. The problem with this approach by Prisha is that social sciences constantly work with human thinking and it is difficult to fully evaluate thoughts and feelings through research questions.
An adult is swinging a small child by the arms, and the child screams and grabs his left arm. It is determined in the emergency department that the radial head is partially dislocated. What is this partially dislocated radial head documented as?
Answer: The partially dislocated radial head is documented as a "Subluxation."
Explanation:
Any type of partial dislocation is referred to as a subluxation. This can occur in a joint and even in an organ in the body. It is considered as structural displacement. A simple x-ray can diagnosis when a subluxation occurs. In the case listed above, it was in the shoulder. Symptoms of subluxation are visible swelling, pain in the area, unable to move the joint, and/or numbness and tingling. The subluxation may also be visible by a deformity in the shoulder area. Many times this can be fixed by using a splint, resting and using ice on the dislocated area, and elevating the arm. In some cases, surgery may be necessary, especially, if it occurs in the back.
A partially dislocated radial head in a child is known as a nursemaid's elbow or radial head subluxation, typically treated with a simple manipulation to realign the joint.
The partially dislocated radial head in a child that you've described is documented as a nursemaid's elbow or radial head subluxation. This is a common injury among young children, often resulting from a sudden pull on the extended and pronated arm, as might happen when an adult lifts or swings a child by the arms. The radial head slips partially out of the ligament that holds it in place, causing pain and a refusal to use the arm. Proper diagnosis and treatment usually involve a simple manipulation technique by a healthcare provider to reduce the subluxation and relieve discomfort.
In Austria, 30% of the population has a blood type of O+, 33% has A+, 12% has B+, 6% has AB+, 7% has O-, 8% has A-, 3% has B-, and 1% has AB-. If 15 Austrian citizens are chosen at random, what is the probability that 3 have a blood type of O+, 2 have A+, 3 have B+, 2 have AB+, 1 has O-, 2 have A-, 1 has B-, and 1 has AB-?
Answer: The probability that 3 have a blood type of O+, 2 have A+, 3 have B+, 2 have AB+, 1 has O-, 2 have A-, 1 has B-, and 1 has AB- is 0.0011%

When Marcia goes into the bedroom to check on the child she is babysitting, she observes that his eyes are rapidly moving back and forth under his eyelids. The child is also lying very still. It is likely that he is:
The child is likely in the REM sleep phase, characterized by rapid eye movement and a still body, which is normal during the active dreaming stage of sleep.
When Marcia observes the child with eyes rapidly moving back and forth under his eyelids and lying very still, it is likely that he is in the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase. During REM sleep, which is one of the stages of the sleep cycle, a person's or child's brain is active, and dreams occur. The body becomes temporarily paralyzed except for eye movements and respiration, which prevents us from acting out our dreams.

Rather than simply memorizing key terms and concepts, Jeremy focused on the meaning of the information in the chapter and tried to generate examples of concepts from his own experiences. Jeremy was using _____ to help encode information into his long-term memory.
a) contextual cues
b) elaborative rehearsal
c) the serial position effect
d) maintenance rehearsal
Answer:
Elaborative rehearsal.
Explanation:
Memory may be defined as the ability of the brain to memorize the incident or any other information. Two types of memory are short term memory and long term memory.
The long term memory can be converted to the short term memory by multiple rehearsal and memorizing the things again and again. Jeremy must be using elaborative rehearsal to memorize the chapter and generate examples to create his own experience.
Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
Jeremy was using elaborative rehearsal to help encode information into his long-term memory.
Explanation:Jeremy was using elaborative rehearsal to help encode information into his long-term memory. Elaborative rehearsal involves thinking about the meaning of new information and making connections to existing knowledge. By focusing on the meaning of the information in the chapter and generating examples from his own experiences, Jeremy was engaging in elaborative rehearsal and increasing the likelihood of encoding the information into his long-term memory.

True / False: Gathering behavioral information on readiness to change and decisional balance should follow after completing a health-risk assessment on an individual.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Behavioral information collection should be done before and not after the completion of an individual's health risk assessment. This is because behavioral information is important data for assessing an individual's health levels and risk levels. There is no possibility that a conclusion to an individual's health risk assessment would be effective if the individual's behavioral information collection had not been done before.

Regarding infant sensory abilities, which of the following statements is FALSE?
a. Newborns can discriminate among different tastes and show a preference for sweetness.
b. By about four to six months of age, infants show a preference for faces reflecting their own racial characteristics.
c. Newborns can recognize a scrambled picture of their mother’s face just as wel
Answer:
I believe that the best answer to the question: Regarding infant sensory abilities, which of the following statements is FALSE, would be, C: Newborns can recognize a scrambled picture of their mother´s face just as well.
Explanation:
The development of skills, abilities and capacities in children, especially during infancy, is a pretty complex, and unique one. What is known up to this point for sure regarding babies, since birth till they turn about 2 years, is that: they have difficulties in vision, as they cannot see certain features, colors, and after a certain range. They recognize their caregivers, especially their mother, first and foremost through touch and smell, as well as through audition. These characteristics develop as the child´s brain, and body, start also to develop from the moment they are born and they leave babyhood to enter early childhood. But in general, newborns, and up until about 6 to 7 months of age CANNOT recognize faces after a certain distance has been reached from them, and definitely not a scrambled one, even of their mothers. They are more likely to recognize the mother first by her smell, her touch and her voice, than her face. This recognition comes as the baby´s visual capacity enhances. However, they are able to distinguish tastes and that is why they tend to prefer their mother´s milk; because it is sweet to the taste, and they start recognizing racial features, especially skin color, at about six months of age. This is why the answer is C.
Benny enjoys the feelings created by drinking alcohol. However, over the last several years he has noticed that it takes more and more alcohol to create the desired effects. MOST specifically, Benny's experience illustrates the phenomenon of: _________
Answer: tolerance
Explanation:
Substance tolerance is the condition in which the body craves for more amount of dose of a particular substance so as to experience the desired effect. This can occur in abusers of drugs and alcohol.
Thus this can be said that Benny's experience suggests the phenomena of tolerence of alcohol.
