| | | | | | | | | | |
identification, and treatment of diabetes on a large Indian reservation. Which of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
secondary to peripheral neuropathy and impaired wound healing

b.) teaching school children how a nutritious, traditional diet can lessen their
| | | | | | | | | | | |
chances of developing adult-onset diabetes
| | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | |
tournament can have their blood glucose levels checked
| | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
diagnosis of diabetes | |

,An occupational therapist conducts a group therapy program called MindWorks
| | | | | | | | | |
with older adults who have diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer disease. The
| | | | | | | | | | | |
goal of the group is to slow the cognitive decline of clients by engaging them in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
regular, organized mental activity such as reading maps and solving puzzles. How
| | | | | | | | | | | |
would the program most likely be characterized?
| | | | | |

A 14-year-old female has been experiencing severe internal cramps in the region
| | | | | | | | | | | |
of the pelvis and weight loss. She has been admitted with rectal bleeding. The
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
physician has diagnosed her with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). She asks the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
nurse what causes this disease. The nurse will base her response knowing that
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
IBD has been linked to:
| | | |
a.) liver involvement in faulty glycogen stores
| | | | | |
b.) endoplasmic reticulum stress in the GI system
| | | | | | |
c.) over-secretion of insulin from the beta cells in the pancreas
| | | | | | | | | |
d.) infiltration of the GI tract by bacterial toxins
| | | | | | | |
b.) endoplasmic reticulum stress in the GI system
| | | | | | |
A patient has been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease called multiple
| | | | | | | | | | |
sclerosis (MS). The physician explains to the patient that this disease may be
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
caused by dysregulated apoptosis. Later that day, the patient asks the nurse what
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
this means. The nurse should reply:
| | | | |
a.) "the cells around you nerves don't know how to die correctly"
| | | | | | | | | | |
b.) "the cytoplasm should neutralize the various apoptotic inhibitors but isn't
| | | | | | | | | | |
working correctly" |
c.) "dysregulated apoptosis has caused an excessive rate of programmed cell
| | | | | | | | | | |
, death along the neuropathways"
| | |
d.) "there is an inappropriately low rate of apoptosis occurring within the cells"
| | | | | | | | | | | |
c.) "dysregulated apoptosis has caused an excessive rate of programmed cell
| | | | | | | | | | |
death along the neuropathways"

The nurse is teaching a group of colleagues about the cell division cycle as
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
background to oncology nursing. Which of the following statements is true of the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
cell cycle? |
a.) some cells lack a G0 phase
| | | | | |
b.) mitosis is a process that occurs in steps over 1 to 2 days
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
c.) the 2 broad phases of the cell cycle are mitosis and synthesis
| | | | | | | | | | | |
d.) nondividing cells such as nerve cells are said to be in the S0 phase
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
c.) the 2 broad phases of the cell cycle are mitosis and synthesis
| | | | | | | | | | | |
A student asks the instructor about the origins of different tissues and their
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
cellular origins during the process of development. Which of the instructor's
| | | | | | | | | | |
following statements best describes the process of cell differentiation?
| | | | | | | |
a.) "cells of the hematopoietic system produce the appropriate body cells that are
| | | | | | | | | | | |
required at each stage of development"
| | | | | |
b.) "a single stem cell differentiates into approximately 200 different types of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
cells"
c.) "a fertilized ovum undergoes a series of divisions, yielding many different cell
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
types"
d.) "cells differentiate into necessary body cells peaking after conception and
| | | | | | | | | | |
ceasing near the time of birth"
| | | | |
c.) "a fertilized ovum undergoes a series of divisions, yielding many different cell
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
types"
During a crime scene investigation, the coroner confirms that rigor mortis has set
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
in. This helps to confirm an approximate time of death. The forensic nurse can
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
explain this process (rigor mortis) to a group of students based on the fact that:
