Question 1

The type of crisis that a patient is most likely going through if she is getting close to 65 and is really unhappy is?

Accepted Answer

life transitional.

Answer

A patient who is distressed because she is getting close to 65 is probably going through a life transitional crisis. Life transitions are predictable changes (such as high school graduation, marriage, aging, divorce, and moving) that the patient may feel they have no control over and may be unsure of how to handle, even if the transition is ultimately positive.

Question 2

Drooling is prolonged and swallowing is impeded in stroke patients with right-sided paralysis. What kind of suctioning is recommended?

Accepted Answer

Oropharyngeal.

Answer

For a patient who has had a stroke, has right-sided paralysis, persistent drooling, and poor swallowing, oropharyngeal suctioning is recommended. This procedure, which uses a Yankauer nozzle to suction mucous secretions from the mouth to prevent the patient from aspirating them, is the least invasive and irritating for the patient. For suctioning, patients should be positioned semi-Fowler's or upright.

Question 3

What is the best crutch gait to use if a patient is not permitted to put any weight on their left leg?

Accepted Answer

three-point.

Answer

The best crutch gait is three-point if a patient is not allowed to put any weight on their left leg. With this gait, the crutches initially carry all of the weight. The person advances both crutches as the unaffected leg moves forward and then takes all the weight. Normally, the left leg is kept slightly bent, or if that isn't possible, it is stretched slightly in front.

Question 4

The most frequent cause of bacterial food poisoning in patients who show symptoms within 30 minutes of eating is?

Accepted Answer

Staphylococcus aureus.

Answer

The most frequent cause of bacterial food poisoning in patients who show symptoms within 30 minutes of eating is Staphylococcus aureus. Compared to other forms of food poisoning, staphylococcus infections happen considerably more quickly, albeit in some people the symptoms may not appear for up to 7 hours. Typically, the symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Supportive care, electrolyte supplementation, and antiemetics are also part of the treatment.

Question 5

Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is recommended for adults.

Accepted Answer

one time.

Answer

Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations are recommended for adults once only. The Td booster, which serves as a booster for tetanus and diphtheria but not pertussis, should thereafter be given to the patient every ten years. Tdap vaccinations are often administered to children between the ages of 11 and 12, but adults who have not yet had this shot should do so right away. The Tdap vaccine should also be given to expectant mothers in order to protect the unborn child from pertussis.
