Question 4 of 5
During a shower three days ago, Jeremy Robb, 19, discovered a firm lump in his left testis. He went to the student health center at his university, was referred to a local physician and was admitted to the hospital for a left orchiectomy and lymph node resection. Risk factors for cancer of the testes include:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Smoking has been linked to cancer of the lungs, bladder, and pancreas, but has not been linked directly to cancer of the testes. Males who had undescended testicle(s) have been found to have a higher incidence of cancer of the testes later. It is theorized that the internal heat the testes are exposed to while in the abdomen causes the damage to the testes. Multiple sex partners is a risk for genital warts, AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases, but has not been shown to be a risk for cancer of the testes. Genital trauma more likely causes bladder and ureteral damage.
Question 5 of 5
Total parenteral nutrition(TPN), is one of the home therapies being used for Chelsea Mann, 35, with acute ulcerative colitis causing massive diarrhea. She and her family will need instruction about:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prevention of infection, and potential septicemia, is of prime importance for someone with a central catheter. Mixing TPN is a very specialized procedure, and should be done under laminar airflow by a pharmacist. IV pumps are machines that do malfunction, but the safest thing to do would be to get the manufacturer to do the repair. Having neighbors be a support to Chelsea and her family may not be possible. More information would be necessary prior to choosing this as an option for a nursing diagnosis.
