Nursing Process Quizlet Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which blood product replaces missing clotting factors in the patient who has a bleeding disorder?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cryoprecipitate. Cryoprecipitate contains high levels of clotting factors such as fibrinogen, Factor VIII, Factor XIII, and von Willebrand factor, making it the ideal choice to replace missing clotting factors in patients with bleeding disorders. Platelets (A) help with clot formation but do not contain clotting factors. Albumin (B) is a protein used for volume replacement, not clotting factor replacement. Packed RBC (C) is used to increase oxygen-carrying capacity in anemic patients, not for clotting factor replacement.
Question 2 of 5
A client has the following blood lab values: platelets 50,000/ul, RBC’s 3.5 (X 106), hemoglobin 10 g/dl, hematocrit 30 percent, WBCs 10,000/ul. Which nursing instruction should be included in the teaching plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Bleeding precautions. With low platelets (50,000/ul), the client is at risk for bleeding. Platelets help with blood clotting, so precautions to prevent bleeding are essential. This includes avoiding activities that can cause injury, using a soft toothbrush, and reporting any signs of bleeding. Summary: B: Isolation to prevent infection - This is not related to the client's lab values. C: Seizure precautions - Not relevant to the client's lab values. D: Control of pain with analgesics - Pain management is not the priority given the client's lab values indicating a risk of bleeding.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff are the most significant symptoms of Hodgkin’s disease category B? Choose all that apply
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Night sweats. In Hodgkin's disease category B, the presence of night sweats signifies more advanced disease and higher tumor burden. Night sweats are a B-symptom, along with fever and weight loss, indicating systemic symptoms. Anemia (choice B) and thrombocytopenia (choice D) are not specific to Hodgkin's disease category B and can be present in various other conditions. Fever (choice A) is not exclusive to Hodgkin's disease category B and can occur in many infections and inflammatory conditions. Night sweats are specifically associated with Hodgkin's disease and are a key indicator of disease severity in this context.
Question 4 of 5
At a public health fair, the nurse teaches a group of women about breast cancer awareness. Possible signs of breast cancer include:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because nipple discharge and a breast nodule are classic signs of breast cancer. Nipple discharge can be bloody or clear, and a breast nodule is a lump that feels different from the surrounding tissue. Fever (choice A) is not a common sign of breast cancer. Breast changes during menstruation (choice C) are normal hormonal fluctuations. Fever and erythema of the breast (choice D) are more indicative of an infection rather than breast cancer. Therefore, choice B is the most relevant sign of breast cancer among the options provided.
Question 5 of 5
Which finding is an early indicator of bladder cancer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Painless hematuria. This is an early indicator of bladder cancer because blood in the urine without pain is a common symptom in the early stages of the disease. Nocturia (B), frequent urination at night, is more commonly associated with urinary tract infections or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Occasional polyuria (C), excessive urination, can be a symptom of diabetes or kidney disease. Dysuria (D), painful urination, is more indicative of urinary tract infections or urethritis. Therefore, painless hematuria is the most specific early indicator of bladder cancer among the choices provided.
