Question 4 of 5
A male client received a heart-lung transplant 1 month ago at a local transplant center. While visiting the nursing center to have his blood pressure taken, he complains of recent weakness and fatigue. He also tells the nurse that he is considering stopping his cyclosporine because it is expensive and is causing his face to become round. He fears he will catch viruses and be more susceptible to infections. The nurse responds to this last statement by explaining that cyclosporine:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cyclosporine is the immunosuppressive drug of choice. It provides immunosuppression but does not lower the white blood cell count; therefore, the client is less susceptible to infection. Cyclosporine is available at discount pharmacies. The cost may be absorbed by health insurance, or Medicare, if the client is eligible. However, this statement does not address the entire problem verbalized by the client. Immunosuppressive agents will be taken for the client's entire life because rejection can occur at any time. These side effects do not necessarily resolve in time; however, the client may adapt.
Question 5 of 5
Priapism may be a sign of:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Priapism in the trauma client is due to the neurological dysfunction seen in spinal cord injury. Priapism is an abnormal erection of the penis; it may be accompanied by pain and tenderness. This may disappear as spinal cord edema is relieved. It is not associated with death, urinary incontinence, or reproductive dysfunction as a primary issue.
