Question 3

A nurse checks a hospital's supply of donor blood and finds ample units of type A positive.Patients with which of the following blood types can receive type A positive blood? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Type A positive blood can be given to patients with type A and type AB blood. Therefore, options D and E are the correct choices. Patients with type O blood (options A and B) can only receive type O blood, and patients with type B blood (option C) can only receive type B or type O blood.

Question 4

A patient is undergoing chorionic villus biopsy.Which of the following conditions can this test detect and assist in diagnosing? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that involves taking a sample of some of the placental tissue. This tissue contains the same genetic material as the fetus and can be tested for chromosomal abnormalities and certain other genetic problems. Cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are genetic disorders that can be detected through the analysis of DNA from the chorionic villi. Down syndrome, a chromosomal abnormality, can also be detected by examining the chromosomal makeup of the sampled tissue. Neural tube defects are typically assessed through maternal blood tests and ultrasound, not CVS. Cervical cancer is unrelated to the fetus's genetic material and is diagnosed through a Pap test and HPV testing of the mother, not through CVS.

Question 5

A nurse is providing instructions to a patient who is scheduled to have a barium enema at his next appointment.Which of the following should the nurse mention? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

The nurse should mention that the patient may experience some discomfort and pain during the procedure. The patient should also eat a low-residue diet for several days before the procedure and may need a laxative and cleansing enema the day before the procedure. It is not necessary to fast and restrict fluids after the procedure, and the patient should consume only clear fluids the day of the test. Therefore, choices C and D are incorrect.

Question 6

A patient's laboratory results indicate an insufficient total testosterone level.The nurse should expect to see which of the following signs and symptoms in this patient? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Testosterone is a key hormone in the development of male physical characteristics. Insufficient levels can lead to delayed puberty (A) and poor development of muscle mass (B) because testosterone plays a crucial role in these processes. Gynecomastia (D), or the development of breast tissue in males, can also occur due to an imbalance between testosterone and estrogen when testosterone levels are low. Choices C and E are not typically associated with low testosterone levels; excessive body hair is more often linked to high levels of androgens, and disproportionate limb growth is not a common symptom of low testosterone.

Question 7

A nurse is assisting with computed tomography (CT)scan of the brain.Which of the following would constitute a critical finding that the nurse should report to the requesting health-care provider immediately? Select all that apply.

Question 8

A nurse is preparing a patient to undergo hysteroscopy.This test is indicated for which of the following? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. It is commonly indicated for confirming the presence of uterine fibroids, investigating abnormal uterine bleeding, and assisting in the removal of uterine polyps. It allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

Question 11

A patient's laboratory test results indicate an increased level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).The nurse should recognize that this finding is associated with which of the following? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Increased levels of HCG are associated with pregnancy and choriocarcinoma. Ectopic pregnancy, intrauterine fetal demise, and spontaneous abortion may also have increased levels of HCG, but these are not unique to these conditions, so these choices are not the best answer.

Question 12

A nurse is teaching a refresher class on infection control to other nurses in the hospital.The nurse should mention that Standard Precautions are required any time a nurse is expecting to come into contact with which of the following? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Standard Precautions are required any time a nurse is expecting to come into contact with blood, saliva, or mucous membranes. Sweat and skin are not considered infectious unless they are visibly contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids.

Question 13

A patient's laboratory test results indicate decreased levels of vitamin B₁₂ in the blood.The nurse knows that this finding is consistent with which of the following conditions? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be caused by Crohn's disease due to malabsorption, dietary deficiency due to inadequate intake, and pernicious anemia due to lack of intrinsic factor needed for absorption.

Question 17

A nurse is undergoing bioterrorism preparedness training and is learning about the risk of certain agents spreading throughout a population.Which of the following can be transmitted directly from person to person? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Smallpox and Marburg virus can be transmitted directly from person to person. Smallpox is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets, while Marburg virus, a hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola, spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. Anthrax, Botulism, and Tularemia primarily spread through contact with contaminated food, water, or soil, or through animal vectors, rather than direct person-to-person contact.

Question 18

A patient's laboratory test results indicate a positive finding for Helicobacter pylori antibody.Besides indicating an H.pylori infection, this finding is strongly associated with which of the following conditions? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

A positive Helicobacter pylori antibody finding is strongly associated with the development of duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. It is not associated with cirrhosis, hemolytic anemia, or pancreatitis.
