Question 1 of 5
In JRA, the autoimmune reaction primarily occurs in the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), which is now referred to as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), the autoimmune reaction primarily occurs in the synovial tissue of the joints. The synovial tissue lines the inside of the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which helps to lubricate and nourish the joint. In JIA, the immune system mistakenly targets the synovial tissue, leading to inflammation, pain, and damage to the joints. This inflammatory process can result in swelling, warmth, stiffness, and eventual joint destruction if left untreated. Therefore, the synovial tissue is the primary site of the autoimmune reaction in JRA/JIA.
Question 2 of 5
What size of suction catheter would Wilma use for James, who is 6 feet 5 inches in height and weighing approximately 145 lbs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct size of a suction catheter is usually determined by the patient's weight, rather than height. For James, who weighs approximately 145 lbs, a Fr. 10 suction catheter would be suitable. Suction catheter sizes typically range from Fr. 5 (smaller) to Fr. 18 (larger), with Fr. 10 being a common size for an adult patient of James' weight. Using a catheter that is too small may not effectively clear secretions, while one that is too big may cause discomfort or damage to the airways.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is doing an assessment on a newborn. Which is characteristic of a newborn's vision at birth and an expected finding during the assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: At birth, a newborn's vision is not fully developed. However, one of the characteristics of a newborn's vision is that their pupils are able to react to light. This response helps to protect the newborn's developing eyes from excessive light exposure. During a newborn assessment, it is expected that the nurse will observe the pupil constriction in response to a bright light source, indicating a normal functioning of the pupillary reflex. This physiological response is vital for assessing the newborn's neurological integrity and visual function.
Question 4 of 5
A healthy 20-day-old male examination reveals a palpable liver margin below the right costal margin; lab findings: white blood count, 18700/mm3; hemoglobin, 8.8 g/dl; blast cells, 10%; the BEST approach for the management is consistent with acute myeloproliferative disorder
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Intensive chemotherapy is the standard approach for managing acute myeloproliferative disorders.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a group of women to perform breast self-examination. The nurse should explain that the purpose of performing the examination is to discover:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The primary purpose of performing breast self-examination is to detect any abnormal changes in the breast tissue, including the presence of cancerous lumps. By regularly examining their breasts, women can become familiar with the normal look and feel of their breasts, making it easier to identify any new lumps or other changes that may indicate a potential problem, such as breast cancer. Detecting cancerous lumps early through self-examination can lead to early detection and improved treatment outcomes. It is important for women to perform breast self-examinations regularly and report any concerning findings to their healthcare provider for further evaluation.
