Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy, accounting for around 70-80% of cases. Spastic CP is characterized by stiff, tight muscles that can affect movement and coordination. This type of CP is caused by damage to the motor cortex of the brain, leading to increased muscle tone and difficulty with voluntary movements. Symptoms of spastic CP can vary in severity and may affect one or multiple limbs.
Question 3 of 5
A patient admitted with gastrointestinal tract bleeding has a hemoglobin level of 6 g/dL. She asks the nurse why she feels SOB. Which response is best?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The best response is option B, "You do not have enough hemoglobin to carry oxygen to your tissues." Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues throughout the body. With a low hemoglobin level of 6 g/dL due to gastrointestinal tract bleeding, there is a reduced capacity to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. This decreased oxygen-carrying capacity leads to symptoms of shortness of breath (SOB) because the body's cells are not receiving an adequate supply of oxygen. It is important to provide a clear and accurate explanation to the patient about the relationship between hemoglobin, oxygen transport, and symptoms of anemia like shortness of breath.

Question 5 of 5
A client is admitted to an acute care facility with esophageal cancer. The incidence of esophageal cancer is highest in:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The incidence of esophageal cancer is highest in black males. Studies have shown that black males have a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer compared to other demographic groups. Various factors contribute to this increased risk, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle habits (such as smoking and alcohol consumption), and potential disparities in access to healthcare and early detection. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of these disparities in order to provide appropriate care and support for individuals at higher risk for esophageal cancer.
