1. Right Answer: A
Explanation: (A) Both a benign and a malignant tumor can displace or destroy nearby structures or increase intracranial pressure. (B) Benign or malignant brain tumors grow at different rates depending on the type of tumor. (C) Some benign tumors do become malignant tumors. (D) Whether or not a tumor is operable depends on its location and the amount of damage its removal will cause.
2. Right Answer: C
Explanation: (A) Intake and output measurements are important but must be accompanied by straining urine. (B) Daily weights would not provide for identification of calculi. (C)Straining urine provides for assessment of calculi and evaluation of calculi descent through ureters and urethra. (D) O2therapy should not be necessary for renal calculi.
3. Right Answer: D
Explanation: (A) The stones consist of calcium and phosphorus; therefore, these minerals should be avoided. A high-calcium diet is contraindicated. (B) A high-phosphorus diet is contraindicated. (C) A 2-g sodium diet is a cardiac diet. (D) A low-calcium and phosphorus diet will reduce further calculi formation.
4. Right Answer: B
Explanation: (A) Intermediate-acting insulin is not indicated in an emergency. (B) Regular insulin is rapid acting and indicated in an emergency situation. (C) Long-acting insulin is not indicated in an emergency situation. (D) Intermediate-acting insulin is not indicated in an emergency situation.
5. Right Answer: C
Explanation: (A) D5in normal saline would increase serum glucose. (B) D5W would increase serum glucose. (C) A concentration of 0.9 NS is used to correct extracellular fluid depletion. (D) D5in Ringers lactate would increase serum glucose.
