Question 1 of 5
An 18-year-old male is taking Hydroxyurea for treatment of sickle cell anemia. Which options below indicate this medication is working successfully?
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: Hydroxyurea increases fetal hemoglobin, reducing sickling, and decreases the need for transfusions. Hemoglobin S levels are not directly reduced, and diuresis/dehydration are side effects, not indicators of success.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic feature of hemophilia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemophilia, due to deficient clotting factors, leads to prolonged bleeding and easy bruising. Excessive clotting, increased platelets, and delayed wound healing are not characteristic.
Question 3 of 5
A 30-year-old who is experiencing sickle cell crisis is admitted to the hospital. During the admission assessment, which findings can the nurse attribute to the client's blood disorder?
Correct Answer: C,E
Rationale: Jaundice results from hemolysis, and pain is due to vaso-occlusion in sickle cell crisis. White tongue, nausea, and shortness of breath are less specific to the disorder.
