Question 1 of 5
When performing a physical examination on an infant, the nurse in charge notes abnormally low- set ears. This finding is associated with:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Abnormally low-set ears are often associated with certain congenital anomalies, including congenital heart defects. When a nurse notes this finding during a physical examination of an infant, it is important to consider the possibility of congenital anomalies and further assessment for associated conditions. Low-set ears alone are not diagnostic of a specific congenital heart defect, but they can serve as a clue to support the need for further evaluation to rule out any underlying cardiac issues. Other congenital anomalies that may be associated with low-set ears include renal anomalies, which makes option D a distractor in this case.
Question 2 of 5
As the nurse cares for a patient with angioedema, differs from urticaria in that angioedema is characterized by which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Angioedema differs from urticaria in that it involves deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue compared to urticaria, which affects the upper layers of the skin. This deeper involvement in angioedema can lead to swelling that appears as large, raised areas that often have a deeper hue compared to the surrounding skin. Angioedema does not typically involve small, fluid-filled vesicles like urticaria, and it is not necessarily more pruritic. Additionally, angioedema tends to last longer than urticaria, which is why option D is not accurate.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A client has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. When teaching the client and family how diet and exercise affect insulin requirements, the nurse should include which guideline?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a client with type 1 diabetes mellitus exercises or reduces their food intake, it can lead to a decrease in blood glucose levels. This is because the body is using up glucose for energy during exercise or receiving less glucose from food intake. As a result, the client would require less insulin to manage their blood glucose levels, since there is less glucose present in the bloodstream that needs to be regulated. It is important for the client and family to understand this relationship between diet, exercise, and insulin requirements to effectively manage the client's diabetes.
