Question 1 of 5
UTI 118 Practice Exam II The methotrexate drug used to treat :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication that is commonly used in the treatment of various types of cancers, including leukemia. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects the white blood cells. Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth and division of cancer cells, thereby helping to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. It is not typically used to treat thalassemia, hemophilia, or sickle cell anemia, as these conditions are not cancers and require different types of treatment approaches.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning a teaching session for parents of a newborn who plan to bottle-feed. Which should the nurse include in the teaching session? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Proper technique for cleansing the bottles and nipples - It is essential to educate parents on the proper technique for cleaning bottles and nipples to prevent bacteria growth and ensure the newborn's milk is not contaminated.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse understands that a patient with BP readings 164/102 and 176/100 on two separate occasions would be classified in which hypertension category?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: According to the guidelines by the American Heart Association (AHA), the patient's blood pressure readings of 164/102 and 176/100 on two separate occasions fall in the Stage 2 hypertension category. Stage 2 hypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. The readings provided are significantly above these thresholds, indicating severe hypertension that requires prompt medical attention and management to reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. It is important for healthcare providers to closely monitor and intervene in cases of Stage 2 hypertension to prevent further health complications.
Question 4 of 5
A 1-year-old child develops right eye ptosis, miosis, and loss of sweating; you suspect neuroblastoma. The MOST valuable investigation to confirm the diagnosis is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: CT scan of the neck and chest can help identify a primary neuroblastoma mass in the adrenal gland or sympathetic chain.
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.
