Question 2 of 5
A client has just completed a course in radiation therapy and is experiencing radio-dermatitis. The most effective method of treating the skin is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Radio-dermatitis is a common side effect of radiation therapy, characterized by inflammation and irritation of the skin. Applying a cream or lotion to the affected area can help soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and provide relief from symptoms such as itching and discomfort. It is important to choose a cream or lotion that is specifically designed for sensitive skin and recommended by healthcare professionals to ensure effectiveness and safety in managing radio-dermatitis. Washing the area with soap and warm water may further irritate the skin, while leaving the skin alone may prolong discomfort and delay healing. Avoiding creams or lotions may lead to dryness and further discomfort.
Question 3 of 5
The adolescent patient has symptoms of meningitis: nuchal rigidity, fever, vomiting, and lethargy. The nurse knows to prepare for the following test:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The symptoms described (nuchal rigidity, fever, vomiting, and lethargy) suggest possible meningitis, which is an inflammation of the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. One of the key diagnostic tests for meningitis is a lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap. During a lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected from the space around the spinal cord and analyzed for signs of infection, inflammation, or other abnormalities. This test helps confirm or rule out a diagnosis of meningitis and identify the specific infectious agent causing the illness. Other tests, such as blood cultures, may also be done to further evaluate the infection, but a lumbar puncture is essential for diagnosing meningitis in this case.
Question 4 of 5
Which antiparkinsonian drug is associated with the on-off phenomenon and the wearing-off effect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Levodopa is the antiparkinsonian drug associated with the on-off phenomenon and the wearing-off effect. The on-off phenomenon refers to the sudden and unpredictable fluctuations between periods of symptom control (on) and periods of symptom re-emergence (off) in patients with Parkinson's disease receiving levodopa therapy. This can happen as the disease progresses and the brain becomes less responsive to the medication.
Question 5 of 5
a school-age child is admitted in vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis. the child's care should include which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis, it is crucial to focus on adequate hydration and pain management. Hydration is essential to prevent further sickling of red blood cells, which can exacerbate tissue damage and pain. Pain management is a key aspect of care as vaso-occlusive crises often cause severe pain that requires prompt and effective treatment. Administering heparin is not indicated in a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis as it is primarily used for conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Correcting acidosis and replacing factor VIII are also not typically part of the management of a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis.
