Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Interpreting abstract ideas or concepts, such as in explaining the meaning of this phrase, reflects the capacity for abstract thinking. The client with altered mentation will likely interpret the phrase literally or merely rephrase the words. An example of assessing knowledge would be ask-ing the client their reason for seeking health care. This example is not designed to measure knowledge. The nurse is not attempting to measure judgment. An example of assessing judgment would be to ask the client what they would do if they suddenly became ill when alone at home. The nurse is not attempting to measure association. An example of assessing association would be to ask the client to complete a phrase, such as a dog is to a beagle as a cat is to a _____.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Normal vesicular sounds are soft, breezy, and low-pitched. The inspiratory phase is 3 times longer than the expiratory phase. Medium-pitched blowing sounds with inspiration equaling expiration are bronchovesicular breath sounds. Loud, high-pitched, hollow sounds with longer expiration are bronchial breath sounds. Vesicular sounds are created by air moving through smaller airways. Abnormal breath sounds result from air passing through narrowed airways.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
