Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following disorders is a deficiency of factor VIII?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, leading to problems with blood clotting. Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX, not factor VIII. Christmas disease is another name for Hemophilia B, which is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin, not a clotting factor deficiency.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who asks which diagnostic test is the preferred method for detecting cervical cancer. Which is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is the standard method for detecting cervical cancer by identifying precancerous or cancerous cervical cells. The other tests are used for different conditions.
Question 3 of 5
Which lab value is a reliable indicator of bone marrow suppression in a patient receiving chemotherapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Platelet count reliably indicates bone marrow suppression as chemotherapy reduces platelet production, causing thrombocytopenia. Protein, potassium, and ESR are less specific.
Question 4 of 5
Which finding about a patient with polycythemia vera is most important for the nurse to report to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calf swelling and pain may indicate deep vein thrombosis, a serious complication requiring urgent attention. Plethora, elevated platelets, and high hematocrit are expected in polycythemia vera.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a client who is postmenopausal and has risk factors for osteoporosis. The nurse anticipates the client will be prescribed which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Raloxifene hydrochloride, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by preventing bone loss and reducing fracture risk. Levothyroxine treats hypothyroidism, escitalopram treats depression, and calcitonin is not typically first-line for osteoporosis.
