ATI Nurs 243 Pediatrics Exam Questions

Extract:

A child post bone marrow transplantation diagnosed with graft versus host disease.


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a child post bone marrow transplantation who has been diagnosed with graft versus host disease. The parents ask the nurse how this will be treated. Which of the following would be the nurse's BEST response?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct response is D: Typically we start by giving steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. This is the best response because in graft versus host disease (GVH
D), the immune cells from the donor attack the recipient's tissues. Steroids and immunosuppressive drugs help to suppress this immune response and reduce inflammation. These medications are the first-line treatment for GVHD and are effective in managing the symptoms. Option A is incorrect because there are treatments available for GVHD. Option B is incorrect as repeating chemotherapy is not the standard treatment for GVHD. Option C is incorrect because while the oncologist plays a role, the nurse can still provide information and support regarding the treatment plan.
