Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has septic shock about the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: DIC involves abnormal coagulation, consuming fibrinogen and platelets, causing clots and bleeding. Platelet counts drop, heparin is not lifelong, and DIC is not genetic.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV and a CD4-T-cell count of 150/mm³. Which of the following conditions should the nurse monitor the client for?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A CD4-T-cell count of 150/mm³ indicates severe immunosuppression, increasing susceptibility to opportunistic infections like tuberculosis. Hepatitis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are not directly linked to low CD4 counts.
