Answer 1

3. Option C will be the correct answer. " Assess the patient using capnography"

Rationale:- Metabolic acidosis is usually seen in the septic patient, to compensate the mentabolic acidosis the respiratory acidosis will be there , due to respiratory acidosis hyperventilation will be occurred that's why CO2 exhalation from the body will be more & it's measured by capnography . Mainly CO2 level is checked with capnography, is it falling or not. With this procedure the patient condition can be detected wheather it is going to be worse or better.

So, it should do for the stable septic patient for further treatment.

Other options are not correct

option A is not correct because the patient is stable.

Option B is not correct because it's not the most important thing on that particular condition.

Option D is not correct:- rapid breathing may occur bt respiratory congestion usually doesn't occur due to septic shock , except pneumonia. So it's not correct.

4. Option A = vaccination will be the correct answer

Other options are not correct because (B) handwashing can't always prevent all communicable disease

(C) standard precaution is not correct because one can't maintain the standard precaution everywhere, it's specially for hospital settings.

(D) is not correct because always sneezing & coughing is not the main reason to spread communicable disease

5. Option D :- "A person with this disease cannot pass it to the other people " will be the right answer

Rationale:- Because this disease is transmitted to human being through the bite of black legged infected ticks.

Other options are not correct

Option A is not correct because it may be fetal if left untreated.

Option B is not correct because it is caused by the bacteria named Borrelia mayonii

Option C is not correct because one can't pass this disease to another via contact of blood.

6. Option B will be the correct answer, A patient who was exposed 6 days ago but doesn't yet have a fever or rash.

Rationale:- Incubation period is the period between exposure to any infection & the appearance of the 1st symptoms, & the incubation period of chicken pox is 10-21 days.

Other options are not correct because

incubation period doesn't show the signs & symptoms & it is not the incubation period when already rash & fever went away a week ago.

7. Option B :- " Follow the recommendation of the CDC and your local health department" will be the correct answer

Rationale:- CDC & local health care department saves our lives & protects human being from any health threat. So, if any newly recognised infectious disease occurs then they will recommend some health related guidelines & protocol for treating & preventing that particular disease, so it'll be the correct treating method.

Other options are not correct because

Option A can't be the most important thing

Option B will not be correct because the signs & symptoms of the disease is already recognised

Option D can't be the most important thing while treating.

8. Option A :- measles will be the right answer.

Rationale:- It is mainly most common among children & teenagers can also be effected with this. The signs & symptoms of the patient totally presents that the disease is measle. Because fever , dry cough , the koplik's spot ( the tiny white spot which is having bluish-white center on the red background) inside the mouth on the inner lining of the cheek, red flat blotch rashes , these are actually seen due to the measles.

Other options are not correct

Because those other disease don't show this type of symptoms.
