Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is to have a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The nurse should tell the client that, in addition to the iliac crest, a common site for this procedure is which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The sternum is a common site for bone marrow aspiration in adults due to its accessibility to marrow. The iliac crest is another primary site. The hip is not a precise term for aspiration sites, and the cervical spine and humerus are not typically used due to safety and accessibility concerns.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is to receive one unit of packed RBCs. Within which of the following time spans must the nurse complete the infusion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A unit of packed RBCs must be transfused within 4 hours to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination and ensure patient safety. Longer durations increase infection risk, and 2 hours is unnecessarily restrictive.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing data for a client who has disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: DIC involves widespread clotting that consumes platelets and clotting factors, leading to both thrombosis and bleeding. Platelet production does not increase, sodium/fluid retention is unrelated, and clotting factors are depleted, not increased.
Question 4 of 5
What types of cells are present in Hodgkin's lymphoma?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reed-Sternberg cells are large, abnormal B cells characteristic of Hodgkin's lymphoma, distinguishing it from other conditions. RBCs, Bence-Jones cells, and stem cells are not diagnostic for this disease.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for a client admitted with multiple myeloma. The nurse should expect to see an increase in which of the following laboratory tests?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiple myeloma causes bone breakdown, releasing calcium into the bloodstream, leading to hypercalcemia. WBCs, neutrophils, and platelets are typically decreased due to bone marrow involvement.
