Pediatrics Baby Fell off Bed Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assigned to a client with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). When handling the client's blood and body fluids, the nurse uses standard precautions, which include:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Standard precautions are infection control practices designed to prevent transmission of diseases like AIDS. When handling a client's blood and body fluids, it is important to use standard precautions. Wearing gloves to empty a bedpan is an appropriate practice to prevent direct contact with blood and body fluids. This helps protect the nurse from exposure to infectious agents. Other options like wearing a gown, gloves, and protective eyewear for obtaining a urine specimen via catheterization or disposing of needles uncapped do not align with standard precautions for handling blood and body fluids in a client with AIDS. Similarly, wearing gloves when applying eyedrops is not necessary for preventing transmission of bloodborne pathogens in this context.
Question 2 of 5
Which foods should be offered to a child with hepatitis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clear liquids are gentle on the liver and help minimize digestive stress during hepatitis.
Question 3 of 5
A 9-year-old boy develops acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) one year after completion of therapy for soft tissue sarcoma at his right thigh. Which of the following chemotherapeutic agents is MOST likely the cause of secondary acute myelogenous leukemia AML in this boy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Etoposide is known to be associated with secondary AML due to its potential to induce chromosomal abnormalities.
Question 4 of 5
Which laboratory test value is elevated in clients who smoke and can't be used as a general indicator of cancer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Alkaline phosphatase level is elevated in clients who smoke due to various reasons unrelated to cancer. Smoking leads to increased alkaline phosphatase production in the liver, and elevated levels can be attributed to liver damage caused by smoking. However, a high alkaline phosphatase level alone cannot be used as a general indicator of cancer because it is not specific to cancer and can be influenced by several other factors. Therefore, it is not a reliable marker for the presence of cancer in individuals who smoke or in the general population.
Question 5 of 5
A client has been receiving chemotherapy to treat cancer. Which assessment finding suggests that the client has developed stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stomatitis is a common side effect of chemotherapy characterized by inflammation and irritation of the mucous membranes in the mouth. This can present as red, painful sores or ulcers on the oral mucosa. The presence of red, open sores in the mouth is indicative of stomatitis and warrants assessment and intervention to manage discomfort and prevent infection in the oral cavity. The other options are not typically associated with stomatitis in the context of chemotherapy.
