Children with high-risk neuroblastoma have poor survival. Current treatment consists of all the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: E
Rationale: Differentiating agents like 13-cis-retinoic acid are used instead of allogenic bone marrow transplantation in high-risk neuroblastoma.
Question 2 of 5
Correct method of mouth to mouth respiration is that the victim's chin is held:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When performing the correct method of mouth-to-mouth respiration, it is essential to ensure that the victim's chin is held downward. This helps to properly open the airway, allowing for effective ventilation. By tilting the head back and holding the chin downward, you are able to align the victim's airway to allow the entry of air into the lungs during rescue breathing. Holding the chin in a downward position also helps prevent any obstruction that may hinder the flow of air. Remember to also pinch the victim's nose closed while giving breaths to ensure that the air goes into their lungs.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse has taught a patient with thrombocytopenia how to prevent bleeding. Which of the ff. is the best evidence that the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best evidence that the teaching has been effective is when the patient uses an electric razor instead of his safety razor. This action demonstrates understanding and application of the teaching to prevent bleeding in a practical way. By choosing the electric razor, the patient is actively taking steps to minimize the risk of injury and bleeding due to thrombocytopenia. This concrete behavior indicates that the patient has internalized the instructions provided by the nurse and is implementing them to protect his health.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the ff. would the nurse explain to the patient is the triad of symptoms associated with Meniere's disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by the triad of symptoms including hearing loss, vertigo (a spinning sensation), and tinnitus (ringing in the ear). These symptoms can occur episodically and may be associated with a feeling of fullness in the affected ear. Other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may sometimes accompany the episodes of vertigo, but the classic triad of Meniere's disease consists of hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus. Nystagmus, headache, and pain are not typically part of the classic presentation of Meniere's disease.
Question 5 of 5
