Parents of a 4-year-old child discovered the child has Red blood cell (RBC) levels
been chewing and swallowing imported toy figurines that
have tested positive for lead. Which blood test should
the care team prioritize?
The nurse is conducting a physical assessment of a Hypoxic
homeless man during a night when the wind chill factor is
-10°F (-23°C). When assessing the man's fingers and toes
for frostbite, the nurse looks for which type of cellular
injury?
A nurse is teaching a class on health promotion and Ultraviolet radiation increases the risk of skin cancer and damages DNA.
includes information about the risk from ultraviolet
radiation. Which concepts should be included in this
class?
The provider removes a cast from a teenager's arm. The Disuse
client asks why the muscle in the arm is smaller than it
was. The provider explains that this reduction is caused
by which of the following?
The nurse explains to the hypertensive client that the hypertrophy
increased workload required to pump blood against an
elevated arterial pressure results in a progressive
increase in left ventricular muscle mass. This is an
example of:
, A mother rushes her 4-year-old child to the emergency liver failure
department after she found an empty Tylenol
(acetaminophen) bottle beside her child. The nurse is
trying to explain why it is so important to give the child
ipecac to induce vomiting in order to prevent:
Mercury is a toxic substance, and the hazards of mercury- Fish such as tuna and swordfish
associated occupational and accidental exposures are
well known. What is the primary source of mercury
poisoning today?
Hypertrophy may occur as the result of normal When one kidney is removed, the remaining kidney enlarges to compensate for
physiologic or abnormal pathologic conditions. The the loss
increase in muscle mass associated with exercise is an
example of physiologic hypertrophy. Pathologic
hypertrophy occurs as the result of disease conditions
and may be adaptive or compensatory. Examples of
adaptive hypertrophy are the thickening of the urinary
bladder from long-continued obstruction of urinary
outflow and the myocardial hypertrophy that results from
valvular heart disease or hypertension. What is
compensatory hypertrophy?
The nurse is treating a client who has been immobilized metastatic calcification
for several months. As a result, he is experiencing bone
thinning and weakening. The nurse is aware of the risk of
lung, blood vessel, and renal tubule calcification due to:
A 70-year-old client is being treated for a recent ischemic hypoxia and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion
stroke that has left the client with deficits. These deficits
likely result from which mechanism of cell injury?
A client has experienced significant decreases in mobility Disuse atrophy of muscle cells during a prolonged period of immobility
and stamina during a 3-week hospital stay for the
treatment of a femoral head fracture. Which phenomena
most likely accounts for the client's decrease in muscle
function?
A client has developed cell atrophy. The most likely cause ischemia.
would be:
A client is admitted with an alteration in arterial blood Hypoxia
gases. Cellular injury is most likely to result from which
aspect of this abnormality?
Which statement would a nurse tell a client that best "This is a change in cell form as it adapts to increased work demands or threats to

A client is admitted with frostbite. What will the nurse tell Cold increases blood viscosity and thrombosis
the client about the changes that have occurred due to
cold exposure?
