Question 1 of 5

A parent of a 9-year-old child newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus is very concerned about the child going to school and participating in social events. The nurse creating a plan of care should formulate which goals to address these concerns? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: D,E

Rationale:
To effectively manage social events in the child's life, the family and the child need to integrate the care and management of diabetes into their daily living. In addition, the child's teachers and the school nurse should be aware of their concerns. The other options may be appropriate goals, but they do not deal with social issues.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is reviewing the serum laboratory test results for a client with a diagnosis of sickle cell anemia. Which parameter should the nurse anticipate will be elevated?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sickle cell anemia is a severe anemia that affects African Americans predominantly and is characterized by sickled hemoglobin, or HgbS. The client must have two abnormal genes yielding hemoglobin-S to have sickle cell anemia. A client could have sickle cell trait by carrying one hemoglobin-A gene and one hemoglobin-S gene; then, the client has a less severe form of sickle cell anemia. The remaining options are unrelated to sickle cell anemia.
