Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting in planning care for a client who has advanced multiple myeloma. When planning care the nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for which of the following complications?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiple myeloma causes bone demineralization and osteolytic lesions, increasing the risk of pathologic fractures. Myxedema, retinopathy, and GI bleeding are not typical complications.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is to receive one unit of packed RBCs. Within which of the following time spans must the nurse complete the infusion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A unit of packed RBCs must be transfused within 4 hours to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination and ensure patient safety. Longer durations increase infection risk, and 2 hours is unnecessarily restrictive.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with a clotting disorder. Which should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) contains clotting factors and is used for clotting disorders to manage bleeding. Cryoprecipitates are for specific factor deficiencies, PRBCs for anemia, and platelets for thrombocytopenia.
Question 4 of 5
What types of cells are present in Hodgkin's lymphoma?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reed-Sternberg cells are large, abnormal B cells characteristic of Hodgkin's lymphoma, distinguishing it from other conditions. RBCs, Bence-Jones cells, and stem cells are not diagnostic for this disease.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing laboratory findings for a client admitted with multiple myeloma. The nurse should expect to see an increase in which of the following laboratory tests?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiple myeloma causes bone breakdown, releasing calcium into the bloodstream, leading to hypercalcemia. WBCs, neutrophils, and platelets are typically decreased due to bone marrow involvement.
