Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"B"},"B":{"answers":"A"},"C":{"answers":"A"},"D":{"answers":"B"},"E":{"answers":"A"}}

Correct choices are;

A.I should have taken an extra dose of fluticasone-salmeterol - No Understanding
Explanation: Fluticasone/salmeterol is a long-acting inhaler used for maintenance therapy in asthma. It is not meant to be used as a rescue medication for acute symptoms or exacerbations. Therefore, taking an extra dose in response to symptoms would not be appropriate.

B. I should have taken some allergy medications before going on the hike - Understanding
Explanation: Allergy medications, such as antihistamines or nasal sprays, can help reduce allergic triggers that can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Taking these medications before exposure to known triggers (like allergens during a hike) can help prevent an asthma exacerbation.

C. I have been very stressed out lately and should work on stress management - Understanding
Explanation: Stress is a known trigger for asthma exacerbations. Managing stress through techniques such as relaxation exercises, mindfulness, or therapy can help reduce the likelihood of triggering asthma symptoms.

D. I should have eaten a snack halfway through the hike - No Understanding
Explanation: While maintaining good nutrition and hydration is important for overall health, eating a snack would not necessarily prevent an asthma exacerbation unless the snack contained medications or substances that specifically manage asthma symptoms.

E. My friend smoked cigarettes during the hike - Understanding
Explanation: Secondhand smoke is a common trigger for asthma exacerbations. Being exposed to cigarette smoke can irritate the airways and worsen asthma symptoms.

Correct Answer is {"A":{"answers":"A"},"B":{"answers":"A"},"C":{"answers":"A"},"D":{"answers":"B"},"E":{"answers":"B"}}

Explanation

A. Select foods that are lower in caloric density
Effective: Choosing foods that are lower in caloric density (such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins) can help the client feel fuller with fewer calories. This can support weight maintenance or even weight loss if that is the goal.

B. Increase exercise intensity
Effective: Increasing exercise intensity can help the client burn more calories, contributing to energy expenditure. This can assist in achieving energy balance, particularly if the client wants to maintain her current weight while consuming adequate calories.

C. Get up and walk at least once an hour at work
Effective: Incorporating regular physical activity throughout the day, such as walking breaks, helps increase energy expenditure. It also breaks up sedentary behavior, which is beneficial for overall health and can contribute to energy balance.

D. Add healthy foods to increase caloric intake
Ineffective: Adding healthy foods to increase caloric intake would likely lead to a positive energy balance (where intake exceeds expenditure), potentially causing weight gain. Since the goal is to maintain weight, increasing caloric intake, even with healthy foods, would not be effective.

E. Avoid food with high carbohydrate levels
Ineffective: Carbohydrates are an important source of energy. Avoiding foods with high carbohydrate levels could limit the client's energy intake, potentially leading to negative energy balance if not replaced adequately with other nutrients.

A. Ear pain and fever. B. Elevated WBC and sedimentation rate. C. Increased BUN and serum creatinine. D. Positive Epstein-Barr, and malaise.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Rationale

A. Ear pain is not typically a common symptom of mononucleosis. Fever, however, is commonly seen in mononucleosis due to the body's immune response to the viral infection.

B. In mononucleosis, there is often an increase in white blood cells (specifically lymphocytes) and an elevated sedimentation rate (ESR). These changes reflect the body's immune response to the Epstein- Barr virus infection.

C. Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels are not typically associated with mononucleosis. These markers are more indicative of kidney function and are not directly affected by the viral infection causing mononucleosis.

D. A positive test for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies is diagnostic for mononucleosis. Malaise, which is a general feeling of discomfort or illness, is a hallmark symptom of mononucleosis along with other systemic symptoms like fatigue, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and sometimes a rash.
