Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acute phobic hallucination is not a recognized feature of childhood psychosis.
Question 4 of 5
which of the following best describes acute glomerulonephritis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory kidney disease that typically follows a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or skin infection caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The infection triggers the body's immune response, leading to the deposition of immune complexes in the glomeruli of the kidneys. This results in inflammation, damage to the glomeruli, and impaired kidney function. Symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis may include hematuria (blood in the urine), proteinuria (protein in the urine), edema, hypertension, and decreased urine output. It is important to diagnose and manage acute glomerulonephritis promptly to prevent complications and promote recovery. Other answer choices do not accurately describe the typical etiology or presentation of acute glomerulonephritis.
Question 5 of 5
If a client's parathyroid glands were accidentally removed during a procedure, which condition should the nurse prepare for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The parathyroid glands play a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body. If the parathyroid glands are accidentally removed during a procedure, the patient is at risk for developing hypocalcemia due to the lack of parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. PTH helps to maintain normal calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from the bones, increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys. Without PTH, the body's ability to regulate calcium is impaired, leading to low calcium levels, which is known as hypocalcemia. Symptoms of hypocalcemia can include muscle cramps, spasms, and tingling sensations. Nurses should be prepared to monitor for and manage hypocalcemia in a patient who has had their parathyroid glands accidentally removed during a procedure.
