Question 3 of 5
When a neurologist asks a patient to smile, which cranial nerve is being tested?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a neurologist asks a patient to smile, they are testing the function of the facial nerve, Cranial Nerve VII (CN VII). CN VII controls the muscles of facial expression, including the muscles required for smiling. If there is weakness or paralysis on one side of the face when the patient tries to smile, it may indicate a problem with CN VII function, such as Bell's palsy or a lesion affecting the facial nerve.
Question 4 of 5
Following the American Cancer Society guidelines, the nurse should recommend that the women:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The American Cancer Society recommends that women have a mammogram annually, starting at age 45, and then have the option to switch to every two years starting at age 55. This is based on evidence showing that regular mammograms can help detect breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Breast self-examinations are no longer recommended as a routine screening method due to studies showing they do not reduce mortality from breast cancer. Clinical breast exams conducted by a physician are also not recommended for routine screening in average-risk women, as they have not been shown to be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality. Normal receptor assay testing is not a screening test for breast cancer and is used to help determine the best treatment options for diagnosed breast cancer cases.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following would the nurse teach the adolescent is a complication of corticosteroids used in the treatment of JRA?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are commonly used in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) to reduce inflammation and pain. However, one of the complications associated with corticosteroid use is immune suppression. Corticosteroids can suppress the immune system by reducing the activity and effectiveness of white blood cells, making individuals more susceptible to infections. It is important for healthcare providers, including nurses, to educate adolescents and their families about the risks and possible complications of corticosteroid therapy, including immune suppression.
