Question 1 of 9
Constellation of aniridia and hemihypertrophy is strongly associated with increased risk of which of the following tumors?

Rationale: Aniridia and hemihypertrophy are features of WAGR syndrome, which increases the risk of Wilms tumor.
Question 2 of 9
A client is being returned to the room after a subtotal thyroidectomy. Which piece of equipment is most important for the nurse to keep at the client's bedside?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Following a subtotal thyroidectomy, there is a risk of airway compromise and difficulty breathing due to the close proximity of the surgical site to the trachea. In case of swelling or other complications leading to airway obstruction, having a tracheostomy set readily available at the client's bedside is crucial for quick and efficient management of any respiratory distress. This equipment allows the healthcare team to establish a secure airway if needed, ensuring the client's safety and minimizing the risk of respiratory compromise post-operatively. The other equipment choices are important but having a tracheostomy set is the most critical for this particular situation to address potential airway issues promptly.
Question 3 of 9
A 13-year-old is worried because his breasts are growing and are tender. What should the nurse tell him?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gynecomastia and breast tenderness occur in about one-third of boys during mid-puberty and usually resolve within 2 years.
Question 4 of 9
Monthly examination (BSE) can help in early detection of breast CA. When do you perform BSE?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Performing monthly breast self-examination (BSE) after menstruation is recommended because during this time, the breasts are less likely to be swollen or tender, which can help to ensure a more accurate examination. Engaging in BSE on a regular basis can help individuals become familiar with their breast tissue and better recognize any changes that may occur. By performing BSE monthly after menstruation, individuals can actively monitor their breast health and potentially detect any abnormalities or signs of breast cancer at an early stage.
Question 5 of 9
A nurse needs to assess a client who is undergoing urinary diversion. Which of the ff assessment is essential for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The essential assessment for a client undergoing urinary diversion is the client's knowledge about the effects of the surgery on his nervous control. Urinary diversion is a surgical procedure that involves redirecting urine flow from the bladder to a new exit point in the body due to bladder cancer, birth defects, or other medical conditions. Understanding the effects of the surgery on nervous control is crucial as it can impact the client's ability to control urination and bowel movements post-surgery. Educating the client about these effects will help in managing expectations and in planning for any necessary adjustments to their lifestyle and daily routine. It is important for the nurse to assess the client's level of understanding and provide appropriate education and support regarding nervous control changes that may result from the procedure.
Question 6 of 9
A baby is born temporarily immune to the diseases to which the mother is immune. The nurse understands that this is an example of which of the following types of immunity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the scenario described, the baby is born with temporary immunity to diseases that the mother is immune to. This is an example of naturally acquired passive immunity, where the baby receives preformed antibodies from the mother, providing immediate protection against certain diseases. This type of immunity is passive because the baby did not produce the antibodies themselves, and it is naturally acquired as it occurs through the transfer of antibodies from the mother to the baby during pregnancy.
Question 7 of 9
As the nurse talks to the daughter of Mr. Dela Isla, which of the following statement of the daughter will require the nurse to give further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B, "I told her she is wrong and I explained to her what is right," would require the nurse to give further teaching because it indicates a lack of understanding about how to communicate with a person experiencing hallucinations. People with hallucinations may have a distorted sense of reality, and arguing with them or insisting on what is "right" can be counterproductive. The daughter would benefit from additional education on how to effectively communicate and support her father during episodes of hallucinations.
