QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS

alcohol on the body. How many standard drinks (each
containing 12 g alcohol) Per day are associated with increased
deaths from cirrhosis, cancers of the mouth, esophagus and
injuries in men?
A. 2
B. 4
C. 6
D. 8 - <<<Answers>>>ANS: B
In men, alcohol consumption of at least four standard drinks
per day is associated with increased deaths from liver
cirrhosis, cancers of the mouth, esophagus and other areas,
and deaths from injuries and other external causes.
A woman who has just discovered that she is pregnant is in
the clinic for her first obstetric visit. She asked the FNP how
many drinks a day safe for my baby? The FNP's best response
is - <<<Answers>>>"No amount of alcohol has been
determined to be sage during pregnancy"
,No amount of alcohol has been determined to be safe for
pregnant women. The potential adverse effects of alcohol use
on the fetus are well known; women who are pregnant should
be screened for alcohol use, and abstinence should be
recommended.
The FNP is performing the Denver II screen test on a 12
month old infant during a routine well child visit. The FNP
should tell the infants parents that the Denver II
a. Tests three areas of development: cognitive, physical, and
psychological
b. Will indicate whether the child has a speech disorder so that
treatment can begin.
c. Is a screening instrument designed to detect children who
are slow in development.
d. Is a test to determine intellectual ability and may indicate
whether problems will develop later in school. -
<<<Answers>>>ANS: Is a screening instrument designed to
detect children who are slow in development.
The Denver II is a screening instrument designed to detect
developmental delays in infants and preschoolers. It tests four
functions: gross motor, language, fine motor-adaptive, and
, personal-social. The Denver II is not an intelligence test; it
does not predict current or future intellectual ability. It is not
diagnostic; it does not suggest treatment regimens.

When reviewing the use of alcohol by older adults the FNP
notes that the older adults have several characteristics that can
increase the risk of alcohol use which would increase the
bioavailability of alcohol in the blood for longer periods of
time in the older adult?
A. Increased muscle mass
B. Decreased liver and kidney functioning
C. Decreased blood pressure
D. Increased cardiac output - <<<Answers>>>ANS: B
Decreased liver and kidney functioning increase the
bioavailability of alcohol in the blood for longer time periods.
Aging people experience decreased muscle mass (not
increased), which also increases the alcohol concentration in
the blood because there is less tissue for the alcohol to be
distributed to over time. Blood pressure and cardiac output are
not factors regarding bioavailability.
