Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 6-month-old healthy infant who weighed 7 pounds at birth. The nurse should expect the infant to now weigh approximately how many pounds?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Infants typically double their birth weight by around 6 months of age. Since the infant weighed 7 pounds at birth, it is reasonable to expect the infant to weigh approximately 14 pounds at the age of 6 months. Therefore, the closest option among the choices provided is 20 pounds.
Question 2 of 5
Which is descriptive of bulimia during adolescence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: During adolescence, individuals with bulimia often have a profound lack of awareness that their eating pattern is abnormal. This lack of awareness can be attributed to various factors, such as societal pressures, distorted body image, and the normalization of disordered eating behaviors within their social circle. Adolescents with bulimia may not recognize their behaviors as problematic or may rationalize them as a means of coping with stress or controlling their weight. This lack of insight can make it challenging for them to seek help or receive proper treatment for their condition.
Question 3 of 5
The baby with birth brachial plexus palsy (BBPP) will start with occupational or physical therapy at approximately
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early intervention is critical for optimal recovery in BBPP. Therapy typically begins within the first week of life to prevent contractures and promote nerve regeneration.
Question 4 of 5
A 3-week-old neonate is brought to the emergency department because of a three-day history of intermittent vomiting. His mother reports that he has not urinated for eight hours. On physical examination, his eyes are sunken. Which of the following will MOST likely require correction before surgery is performed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hypochloremia is often associated with dehydration and metabolic alkalosis, which may need correction before surgery.
Question 5 of 5
Antimetabolites are a diverse group of antineoplastic agents that interfere with various metabolic actions of the cell. The mechanism of action of antimetabolites interferes with:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Antimetabolites interfere with the synthesis of nucleic acids, specifically RNA and DNA. By disrupting one or more stages of RNA and/or DNA synthesis, antimetabolites disrupt the normal cellular processes required for cell division and replication, ultimately leading to inhibition of cell proliferation. This makes them effective agents in targeting rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, which rely heavily on nucleic acid synthesis for their rapid growth. The mechanism of action of antimetabolites is cell cycle-nonspecific, meaning they can affect cells at various stages of the cell cycle rather than being specific to a particular phase like M or S phase.
