This increased workload can potentially trigger a heart attack, especially in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or high blood pressure. It is important for patients to breathe regularly during exercise to maintain proper oxygenation and prevent any unnecessary strain on the cardiovascular system.Rate this question:

The diet that is inadequate in all nutrients and should NOT be given for more than 3 days is the...
- A.
Soft diet
- B.
Full liquid
- C.
Clear liquid
- D.
Mineral-restricted
Correct Answer
C. Clear liquidExplanation
A clear liquid diet is inadequate in all nutrients and should not be given for more than 3 days. This type of diet consists of clear fluids such as water, broth, and gelatin, which do not provide sufficient essential nutrients like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It is typically prescribed for short periods, such as before certain medical procedures or surgeries, to provide hydration and rest to the digestive system. However, it is not nutritionally balanced and should not be followed for an extended period as it may lead to malnutrition and other health issues.Rate this question:

What should the solution temperature be during gastric gavage?
- A.
Hot
- B.
Chilled
- C.
Lukewarm
- D.
Room temperature
Correct Answer
D. Room temperatureExplanation
The solution temperature during gastric gavage should be at room temperature. This is because extreme temperatures, such as hot or chilled, can cause discomfort or harm to the patient. Lukewarm temperature may also not be ideal as it can potentially cause burns or irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, room temperature is the most appropriate option to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient during gastric gavage.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 750 to 1000 ccExplanation
The correct answer is 750 to 1000 cc. This range is the maximum amount of urine that should be removed during catheterization in order to prevent rapid decompression of the urinary bladder. Removing a larger amount of urine at once can cause the bladder to rapidly contract and potentially lead to complications such as bladder spasms or injury.Rate this question:

The urinary catheter is pinched prior to removal from the bladder to...
- A.
Prevent the risk of contamination of the catheter tip
- B.
Prevent dripping of urine on the bed linen
- C.
Eliminate any possible pain to the patient
- D.
Prevent air from entering into the bladder
Correct Answer
D. Prevent air from entering into the bladderExplanation
Pinching the urinary catheter prior to removal from the bladder prevents air from entering into the bladder. This is important because the introduction of air into the bladder can cause a condition known as bladder insufflation, which can lead to discomfort, pain, and potential complications for the patient. By pinching the catheter, the healthcare professional ensures that no air enters the bladder during the removal process, promoting the patient's comfort and safety.Rate this question:
