Question 3 of 5
Blood cells are formed in the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, which is a soft tissue found in the center of most bones in the body. The process of blood cell formation is known as hematopoiesis. Bone marrow contains stem cells that can develop into different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells play essential roles in carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and assisting in blood clotting. While the other choices listed (arterioles, lymphoid tissue, and muscle tissue) have important functions in the body, blood cell formation specifically occurs primarily in the bone marrow.
Question 4 of 5
Maintaining the infusion rate of hyperalimentation solutions is a nursing responsibility. What side effects would you anticipate from too rapid infusion rate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Too rapid infusion of hyperalimentation solutions can lead to circulatory overload due to the rapid volume expansion, which can strain the heart and lead to fluid overload. This can manifest as symptoms such as shortness of breath, crackles in the lungs, and edema. Additionally, a rapid infusion rate can cause a sudden surge in glucose levels, potentially leading to hypoglycemia due to increased insulin release in response to the elevated glucose levels. It is important for the nurse to maintain a careful and appropriate infusion rate to prevent these complications and ensure patient safety.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse has a 2-year-old boy sit in "tailor" position during palpation for the testes. What is the rationale for this position?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The "tailor" position, also known as the frog-leg position, is used during palpation for the testes in young boys because it helps prevent the cremasteric reflex. The cremasteric reflex is a normal reflex in which the testes are pulled upwards towards the inguinal canal when the inner thigh is stroked. By having the child sit in the tailor position, with the knees pulled up and legs rotated outwards, the reflex is less likely to be elicited, allowing for a more accurate examination of the testes.
