Question 2 of 5
UTI 118 Practice Exam II The methotrexate drug used to treat :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication that is commonly used in the treatment of various types of cancers, including leukemia. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects the white blood cells. Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth and division of cancer cells, thereby helping to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. It is not typically used to treat thalassemia, hemophilia, or sickle cell anemia, as these conditions are not cancers and require different types of treatment approaches.

Question 4 of 5
The kidneys regulate acid-base balance by all of the following mechanisms except:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The kidneys help regulate acid-base balance through several mechanisms, including excreting hydrogen ions (H+), reabsorbing or excreting bicarbonate (HCO3-) into the blood, and retaining or excreting hydrogen ions. However, the kidneys do not play a direct role in reabsorbing carbon dioxide into the blood. Carbon dioxide is mainly managed in the body through the respiratory system, where it is exhaled as a waste product of metabolism.
Question 5 of 5
The twelve-year-old boy has fractured his arm because of a fall from his bike. After the injury has been casted, the nurse knows it is most important to perform all of the following assessments on the area distal to the injury except:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assessing the radial and ulnar pulses is crucial in evaluating the circulation of blood to the hand. However, in this scenario of a fractured arm, the injury is distal to the hand (further away from the body). It is more critical to check capillary refill, finger movement, and skin integrity in the area distal to the injury to ensure there is no compromise to the blood flow, nerve function, or skin integrity following the injury. Checking the radial and ulnar pulse would be more relevant if the injury was closer to the wrist area, as it would directly impact these pulses.
