1. What type of gastrointestinal complication is most likely to be caused by the use of antibiotics to treat H. pylori infection?

• A. Hemoptysis
• B. Altered taste sensation
• C. Flatulence
• D. Bloody stools

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, Altered taste sensation. The use of antibiotics is known to cause changes in taste sensation as a side effect, especially when used to treat H. pylori infections. Hemoptysis (Choice A) refers to coughing up blood, and while it can be a symptom of various conditions, it is not typically associated with the use of antibiotics. Flatulence (Choice C) and bloody stools (Choice D) can also occur as gastrointestinal complications, but they are not the most likely side effect when treating H. pylori with antibiotics. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect.

2. Which food is a reliable source of B12 for a pregnant vegan client?

• A. Soybeans
• B. Algae
• C. Fortified soy milk
• D. Sea vegetables

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Fortified soy milk is a reliable source of vitamin B12 for pregnant vegan clients as it is usually enriched with this vitamin. The other options, while nutritious, are not reliable sources of B12 for vegans. Soybeans may not provide enough B12, algae contains B12 analogs that the human body cannot utilize, and the B12 content in sea vegetables can fluctuate, potentially not providing the necessary daily intake.

3. What is the desirable resting systolic blood pressure for adults?

• A. <130 mmHg>
• B. <105 mmHg>
• C. <120 mmHg>
• D. <140 mmHg>

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The desirable resting systolic blood pressure for adults is less than 120 mmHg. This blood pressure is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Measurements higher than 120 mmHg (choices A and D) indicate elevated blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension and other health complications if not managed. A reading of less than 105 mmHg (choice B) could indicate low blood pressure, which also poses health risks such as dizziness and fainting.

• B. Stop the infusion, Assess the client, Send the remaining blood to the laboratory and call the physician
• C. Stop the infusion, Call the physician and assess the client
• D. Slow the confusion and keep a patent IV line open for administration of medication
