Which statements about acne in adolescents are true? Select all that apply.
1 Early acne occurs in the midface region.
2 Acne is more common in girls than boys.
3 Acne usually occurs in middle to late adolescence.
4 Intake of dairy products can contribute to acne severity.
5 Acneiform eruptions are predominant in young children - ANSWER--Early
acne occurs in the midface region.
-Acne usually occurs in middle to late adolescence.
-Intake of dairy products can contribute to acne severity
A client's cardiac monitor shows a PQRST wave for each beat and
indicates a rate of 120 beats per minute. The rhythm is regular. The nurse
concludes that the client is experiencing what?
1 Atrial fibrillation
2 Sinus tachycardia
3 Ventricular fibrillation
4 First-degree atrioventricular block - ANSWER-Sinus tachycardia
,2|Page
The presence of a P wave before each QRS complex indicates a sinus
rhythm; a heart rate greater than 100 regular beats per minute is
referred to as tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation has no well-defined P
waves, there are 350 or more beats per minute, there are random
ventricular beats, and the rhythm is irregular. Ventricular fibrillation is
irregular and shows no PQRST configurations. A firs
A client newly diagnosed with scleroderma states, "Where did I get this
from?" How should the nurse reply?
1 "The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be a result of
autoimmunity."
2 "The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be a result of ocular
motility."
3 "The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be a result of increased
amino acid metabolism."
4 "The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be a result of defective
sebaceous gland formation." - ANSWER-"The exact cause is unknown, but
it is thought to be a result of autoimmunity.
Place the pathophysiologic process of tuberculosis infection in its correct
order.
1. Necrotic areas calcify or liquefy.
2. Caseation necrosis occurs in the center of the lesion.
,3|Page
3. Areas of caseation undergo resorption, degeneration, and fibrosis. 4.
Granulomatous inflammation is created by tuberculosis bacillus in lungs.
5. Granulomatous inflammation becomes surrounded by collagen,
fibroblasts, and lymphocytes. - ANSWER-45231
Tuberculosis is a highly communicable disease caused by
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The process of infection in tuberculosis
starts by formation of granulomatous inflammation by tuberculosis
bacillus in lungs. This granulomatous inflammation then becomes
surrounded by collagen, fibroblasts, and lymphocytes. The necrotic
tissue then turns into a granular mass, called a caseation necrosis,
which occurs in the center of the lesion. Then the areas of caseation
undergo resorption, degeneration, and fibrosis. Finally, the necrotic
areas undergo calcification or liquefaction
After surgery for repair of a myelomeningocele, the nurse places the infant
in a side-lying position with the head slightly elevated. What is the main
reason the nurse places the infant in this position after this particular
surgery?
1 To prevent aspiration
2 To promote respiration
3 To reduce intracranial pressure
4 To maintain cleanliness of the suture site - ANSWER--To reduce
intracranial pressure
, 4|Page
The side-lying position with the head slightly elevated promotes
venous return by gravity, which helps reduce intracranial pressure, a
problem after myelomeningocele repair. Although preventing
aspiration, promoting respiration, and maintaining cleanliness of the
suture line are all important, the reason for this position that is unique
with this type of surgery is that it minimizes intracranial pressure.
A client is admitted to the postanesthesia care unit after a segmental
resection of the right lower lobe of the lung. A chest tube drainage system
is in place. When caring for this tube, what should the nurse do?
1 Raise the drainage system to bed level and check its patency
2 Clamp the tube when moving the client from the bed to a chair
3 Mark the time and fluid level on the side of the drainage chamber
4 Secure the chest catheter to the wound dressing with a sterile safety pin -
ANSWER--Mark the time and fluid level on the side of the drainage
chamber.
The fluid level and time must be marked so that the amount of
drainage in the chest tube drainage system can be evaluated. The
drainage system must be kept below chest level to promote drainage
of the pleural space so the lungs can expand. Clamping the tube can
produce backpressure, which may cause fluid to move into the
pleural space from which it came, producing a tension pneumothorax.
The catheter is secured by skin sutures, not to a dressing with a
safety pin.
