Question 3 of 5
A nurse assesses a female client who presents with hirsutism. Which question would the nurse ask when assessing this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: How do you feel about yourself? This question is important because hirsutism, excessive hair growth in women, can have significant psychological implications affecting self-esteem and body image. By asking how the client feels about herself, the nurse can address emotional and mental health concerns related to hirsutism. A: How do you plan to pay for your treatments? This question is not directly related to the client's emotional well-being and does not address the psychological impact of hirsutism. C: What medications are you prescribed? This question focuses on the medical management of hirsutism but does not address the client's emotional response to the condition. D: What are you doing to prevent this from happening? This question is more about preventive measures for hirsutism rather than addressing the client's feelings and self-perception.
Question 4 of 5
A 10-year-old boy is diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). Which of the following drugs is most likely to prove effective for relieving the boy’s main symptoms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Amphetamine. Amphetamine is a stimulant commonly used to treat symptoms of ADHD as it helps improve focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity. It works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Dobutamine (A) is a different type of stimulant used for heart conditions. Pancuronium (C) is a muscle relaxant used during surgery, and Prazosin (D) is an alpha-blocker used for high blood pressure and PTSD nightmares. Therefore, Amphetamine is the most likely drug to be effective for relieving the boy's main symptoms of ADHD.
Question 5 of 5
A 35-year-old female presents to your office for a regular check-up. Her only complaint is recurrent migraine headaches, which have increased in frequency over the years. On examination, her blood pressure is elevated at 150/70. You decide to start her on antihypertensive therapy that is also used for prophylaxis of migraines. Which medication is it?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Propranolol. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that is commonly used for migraine prophylaxis. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of migraines by blocking the action of adrenaline on blood vessels in the brain. In this case, the patient has elevated blood pressure and migraines, so starting her on propranolol can address both issues effectively. Choice A: Clonidine is an alpha-2 agonist used for hypertension, but it is not commonly used for migraine prophylaxis. Choice B: Prazosin is an alpha-1 blocker primarily used for the treatment of hypertension, but it is not typically used for migraine prophylaxis. Choice C: Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic used for hypertension by reducing blood volume, but it is not effective for migraine prophylaxis. In summary, propranolol is the most appropriate choice as it addresses both the elevated blood pressure and the recurrent
