Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Age, race, and lifestyle are all commonly recognized risk factors associated with the development of cancer.

Question 2 of 5
Chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate and cyclophosphamide are sometimes used to treat JRA. Why are these medications used?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Chemotherapeutic agents like methotrexate and cyclophosphamide are used to treat Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) because they work by suppressing the immune system. In JRA, the immune system is overactive and attacks the body's own tissues, leading to inflammation and joint damage. By suppressing immune system activity, these medications can help reduce inflammation and prevent further joint damage in patients with JRA.

Which of the ff diets does the nurse recommend for clients with hypertension under the physicians guidance?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended by healthcare professionals, including nurses, for clients with hypertension. This diet emphasizes consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products while limiting sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol. These dietary components are known to help lower blood pressure and improve overall health. The DASH diet has been proven effective in numerous studies and is endorsed by organizations like the American Heart Association for managing hypertension. It is important for clients to follow the DASH diet under the guidance of a physician to ensure it is tailored to their individual needs and health status.
Question 4 of 5
Immunity to a disease after recovery is possible because the first exposure to the pathogen has stimulated the formation of which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Immunity to a disease after recovery is possible because the first exposure to the pathogen has stimulated the formation of memory cells. Memory cells are a type of immune cell that "remembers" the specific pathogen encountered during the initial infection. When the same pathogen tries to infect the individual again, these memory cells quickly recognize the pathogen and mount a faster and stronger immune response, leading to a quicker recovery and preventing the person from getting sick again from the same pathogen. This immune memory is the basis of acquired immunity, providing long-lasting protection against future infections by the same pathogen.
