Which of the following is a hazard of immobility?

  1. Loss of bone calcium.
  2. Increased vital capacity.
  3. Venous vasoconstriction.
  4. A positive nitrogen balance.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

One of the hazards of immobility is the loss of calcium from the bones that results from non-weight bearing by the immobilized patient.
Other complications, or hazards, of immobility include muscle weakness, muscular atrophy, contractures, disuse osteoporosis, hypostatic pneumonia, pooled respiratory secretions, atelectasis, decreased respiratory movement, decreased, not increased, vital capacity, shallow respirations, diminished cardiac reserve, orthostatic hypotension, venous stasis, venous vasodilation, not vasoconstriction, emboli, dependent edema, stiff and painful joints, thrombophlebitis, urinary stasis, renal stones, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, diminished metabolic rate, a negative, not positive, nitrogen balance, a negative calcium balance, constipation and depression.



How many daily feedings are considered normal for a newborn?

  1. 8 to 10
  2. 10 to 12
  3. 6 to 8
  4. 12 to 14

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

An average newborn’s stomach empties every 1.5 hours, so common feeding times occur about every 2 hours during a 24-hour period; therefore, 10 to 12 feedings per day is typical.
Frequent breastfeeds increase a mother’s prolactin levels, and high prolactin levels are required to establish an adequate milk supply.
A higher-frequency of feedings help babies compensate for the lower caloric density of the milk.



The hormone produces mother’s milk is ______________.

  1. Progesterone
  2. Estrogen
  3. Prolactin
  4. Colostrum

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Prolactin is a protein that is best known for its role in enabling females to produce milk, but it also has other functions, such as regulating the immune system.
Progesterone has many roles relating to the development of the fetus during pregnancy. Estrogens are best known for their importance in both menstrual and estrous reproductive cycles. Colostrum is the most nutrient dense part of breast milk produced during the postpartum stage.



Which of these breath sounds is considered normal and not adventitious?

  1. Vesicular breath sounds
  2. Fine rales
  3. Rhonchi
  4. Wheezes

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Vesicular breath sounds are normal breath sounds.
Rales, fine and coarse, rhonchi and wheezes are all abnormal, adventitious breath sounds.



Babies should double their birth weight by the ______________.

  1. 5th to 6th month
  2. 3rd to 4th month
  3. 4th to 5th month
  4. 5th to 7th month

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Most babies should have doubled their birth weight by 6 months, but many may have doubled their birth weight by 5 months of age.
Newborns gain about five to seven ounces per week for the first 3 to 4 months of life. By their first birthday, many babies have tripled their birth weight.
