Question 2 of 5
Clients with myastherda gravis, Guillain - Barre Syndrome or amyothrophic sclerosis experience:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Clients with myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are all affected by various neuromuscular conditions that can lead to respiratory complications. These conditions can cause weakness in the muscles involved in breathing, leading to difficulties with coughing, clearing secretions, and maintaining adequate ventilation. This weakness can ultimately result in an increased risk of breathing difficulties, respiratory infections, and respiratory failure. Therefore, clients with these conditions require close monitoring and respiratory support to manage and prevent complications related to respiratory function.

Question 4 of 5
Neonates of mothers with diabetes are at risk for which complication following birth?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neonates of mothers with diabetes are at risk for macrosomia following birth. Macrosomia refers to a condition where the newborn baby is significantly larger than average, typically weighing more than 4,000 grams (8 pounds, 13 ounces) at birth. This risk is primarily due to maternal hyperglycemia, which can lead to excessive fetal growth. The elevated glucose levels in the maternal circulation can cross the placenta and stimulate fetal insulin production, resulting in increased growth and potentially leading to macrosomia. Neonates born with macrosomia are at increased risk for complications during delivery, such as shoulder dystocia, birth injuries, and the need for cesarean delivery.
Question 5 of 5
A school-age child is admitted to the hospital with acute glomerulonephritis and oliguria. Which dietary menu items should be allowed for this child? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Apples, bananas, and strawberries are all suitable choices for a child with acute glomerulonephritis and oliguria. These fruits are high in water content and are not typically restricted in the diet of a child with this condition. It is important to provide hydration through food sources for a child experiencing oliguria. However, foods high in sodium, potassium, and protein (such as cheese) may need to be limited or modified based on the child's condition and the doctor's recommendations. Carrot sticks, although generally a healthy choice, may have high potassium content which could be restricted based on the child's individual dietary requirements.
