Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching the parent of a child with hemophilia. Which of the following statements by the parent demonstrates understanding about preventing bleeding episodes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding contact sports reduces trauma and bleeding risk in hemophilia due to clotting factor deficiency. Beards, dietary restrictions, and hospital proximity are not directly related to bleeding prevention.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient with stage IV Hodgkin disease. Where should the nurse expect to find enlarged lymph nodes during the assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Stage IV Hodgkin disease involves widespread lymph node and organ involvement, leading to generalized lymphadenopathy. Earlier stages (I-III) have more localized lymph node involvement.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient receiving treatment for a hemolytic reaction from a mismatched blood transfusion. The nurse understands that this the incompatible blood is causing what?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A hemolytic reaction involves the immune system destroying incompatible RBCs, leading to hemolysis. Malformed RBCs, B12 deficiency, and immature RBCs are unrelated to this reaction.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has anemia due to excess blood loss during surgery. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anemia from blood loss reduces oxygen-carrying capacity, causing dyspnea on exertion due to tissue hypoxia. Abdominal pain, respiratory depression, and bradycardia are not typical findings.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing data for a client who has disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: DIC involves widespread clotting that consumes platelets and clotting factors, leading to both thrombosis and bleeding. Platelet production does not increase, sodium/fluid retention is unrelated, and clotting factors are depleted, not increased.
