Question 1 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 2 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 3 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the discharge of a child who has sickle cell anemia and is recovering from an acute sickle cell crisis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse reinforce with the child's parents?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Increased fluid intake reduces blood viscosity, preventing sickling and future crises in sickle cell anemia. High-protein diets, temperature monitoring, and activity restrictions are less critical for crisis prevention.

Question 4 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 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.
