A nurse has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB) during care of a patient with TB and has
a TB skin test performed. When is the nurse considered infected?*
1/1
A negative skin test is followed by a negative chest x-ray.
Testing causes a 10-mm red, indurated area at the injection site.
There is an induration of only 5 mm at the injection site.
There is no redness or induration at the injection site.
Feedback
A 10-mm red indurated injection site could be a positive result for a nurse as an employee in a high-
risk setting. Because antibody production in response to infection with the TB bacillus may not be
sufficient to produce a reaction to TB skin testing immediately after infection, two-step testing is
recommended for individuals likely to be tested often, such as health care providers. An initial
negative skin test should be repeated in 1 to 3 weeks and if the second test is negative, the individual
can be considered uninfected. All other answers indicate a negative response to skin testing.

A 60-year-old patient is being prepared for outpatient cataract surgery. When obtaining
admission data from the patient, what would the nurse expect to find in the patient’s
history?*
1/1
A painless, sudden, severe loss of vision
A gradual loss of vision with abnormal color perception and glare
Blurred vision, colored halos around lights, and eye pain
Light flashes, floaters, and a “cobweb” in the field of vision with loss of central or peripheral
vision
Feedback
The lens opacity of cataracts causes a decrease in vision, abnormal color perception, and glare.
Blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye pain are characteristic of glaucoma. Light flashes, floaters,
and “cobwebs” or “hairnets” in the field of vision followed by a painless, sudden loss of vision are
characteristic of detached retina.

Following the teaching of foot care to a diabetic patient, the nurse determines that
additional instruction is needed when the patient makes which statement?*
1/1
“I should always wear shoes to protect my feet from injury.”
“I should wash my feet daily with soap and warm water.”
“If my feet are cold, I should wear socks instead of using a heating pad.”
“I’ll know if I have sores or lesions on my feet because they will be painful.”
Feedback
Complete or partial loss of sensitivity of the feet is common with peripheral neuropathy of diabetes
and patients with diabetes may suffer foot injury and ulceration without ever having pain. Feet must be
inspected during daily care for any cuts, blisters, swelling, or reddened areas.

The following interventions are planned for a diabetic patient. Which intervention can
the nurse delegate to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?*
1/1
Check the patient’s technique for drawing up insulin.
Discuss complications of diabetes.
Check that the bath water is not too hot.
Teach the patient to use a meter for self-monitoring of blood glucose.
Feedback
Checking the temperature of the bath water is part of assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs)
and within the scope of care for unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). This is important for the patient
with neuropathy. Discussion of complications, teaching, and assessing learning are appropriate for
RNs.
An older woman is admitted to the acute psychiatric unit with a diagnosis of moderate
depression. The client is unclean, her hair is uncombed, and she is inappropriately
dressed. She is accompanied by her adult daughter who is very upset about her
mother’s lack of interest in her appearance. The nurse appropriately alleviates the
daughter’s concern by making which statement?*
1/1
“Client self-esteem needs take priority over appearances.”
“Group peer pressure on the unit will soon have your mother attending to her hygiene needs.”
“The nurses will assist your mother in meeting hygiene needs until she is able to resume
selfcare.”
“Hygiene is not important to those who are depressed.”
Feedback
The client is experiencing psychomotor retardation and decreased energy at this time and requires
assistance. Both the client and her family should know that the nurse will assist the client until the
client can resume self-care activities. Options 1, 2, and 3 will not alleviate the daughters concern.
What should the nurse include when teaching the patient with COPD about the need for
physical exercise?*
1/1
Monitoring the heart rate before and after exercise is the best way to determine how much
exercise can be tolerated.
All patients with COPD should be able to increase walking gradually up to 20 minutes per day.
Shortness of breath is expected during exercise but should return to baseline within 5 minutes
after the exercise.
A bronchodilator inhaler should be used to relieve exercise-induced dyspnea immediately after
exercise.
Feedback
Shortness of breath usually increases during exercise but the activity is not being overdone if
breathing returns to baseline within 5 minutes after stopping. Bronchodilators can be administered 10
minutes before exercise but should not be administered for at least 5 minutes after activity to allow
recovery. Patients are encouraged to walk 15 to 20 minutes per day with gradual increases but actual
patterns will depend on patient tolerance. Dyspnea most frequently limits exercise and is a better
indication of exercise tolerance than is heart rate in the patient with COPD.
Nurse Kade is assisting activities for Tonton without him holding her shoulder. How
should Kade manage to implement such activities to Tonton without body contact?*
0/1
Let Kade use the directions of the clock as she assists Tonton in different directions
Kade ties a long rope attached to Tonton’s wrist as he walks alone so that Kade will still keep
Tonton safe
Tonton memorizes the hallway using his hand like he reads the braille
Let Kade command Tonton about simple directions like RIGHT and LEFT, FRONT and BACK
Feedback
RATIONALE – the best way to assist a blind patient via directions and activities is by using the clock
method such as 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock etc. because majority is familiar with it. A – this maybe realistic
but the command need specific directions other than left, right, etc. B and D – the safety of the patient
is compromised

Kenneth is performing an assessment on Lambert (the client). The chief clinical
manifestation that Kenneth would expect to note in the early stages of cataract
formation is?*
1/1
Diplopia
Eye pain
Blurred vision
Floating spots
Feedback
A gradual, painless blurring of central vision is the chief clinical manifestation of a cataract. Early
symptoms include slightly blurred vision and a decrease in color perception. A – is signs of a cataract.
B and C – is for retinal detachment
When an admitted patient with PTB is experiencing sputum production, dyspnea, and

The client will feed self with cueing within 24 hours.
The client will be oriented to place by the time of discharge.
The client will correctly identify objects in his or her room by the time of discharge.
What causes the pulmonary vasoconstriction leading to the development of cor
pulmonale in the patient with COPD?*
1/1
Administration of high concentrations of oxygen
Long-term low-flow oxygen therapy
Increased viscosity of the blood
Alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia
Feedback
Constriction of the pulmonary vessels, leading to pulmonary hypertension, is caused by alveolar
hypoxia and the acidosis that results from hypercapnia. Polycythemia is a contributing factor in cor
pulmonale because it increases the viscosity of blood and the pressure needed to circulate the blood.
Long-term low-flow oxygen therapy dilates pulmonary vessels and is used to treat cor pulmonale. High
oxygen administration is not related to cor pulmonale.
What is a significant finding in the health history of a patient during an assessment of
the cardiovascular system?*
1/1
Frequent viral pharyngitis
Frequent use of recreational drugs
Metastatic cancer
Calcium supplementation
Feedback
Recreational or abused drugs, especially stimulants such as cocaine and methamphetamine, are a
growing cause of cardiac dysrhythmias and problems associated with tachycardia and IV injection of
abused drugs is a risk factor for inflammatory and infectious conditions of the heart. Although
calcium is involved in the contraction of muscles, calcium supplementation is not a significant factor
in heart disease, nor is metastatic cancer. Streptococcal, but not viral, pharyngitis is a risk factor for
rheumatic heart disease.

The public health nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with leprosy (Hansen’s
disease).Which intervention should the nurse implement?*
1/1
Explain the need for admission to the hospital.
Instruct to use skin moisturizing lotion to control the symptoms.
Administer dapsone, a sulfone, for one (1) month only.
Discuss the ways leprosy is transmitted to other individuals.
Feedback
Contrary to popular thought, leprosy, although contagious, usually requires a prolonged exposure for
the infection to spread to another person. Touching the lesions directly will increase the potential for
infection.
Nurse Stinger is doing a teaching session to a group of CAD patients. The bulk of the
discussion focuses on decreasing the risk for atherosclerosis, the nurse should
encourage the client to:*
1/1
Follow a regular diet.
Continue leading a high-stress lifestyle.

A mental health client is angry after an argument on the telephone with her son and tells
the nurse about her conversation. Which statement by the nurse would be therapeutic?*
1/1
“That is not very kind of your son. Does he not realize that you are trying to recuperate from
surgery?”
“All mothers have arguments with their children.”
“You need to focus your energy on building your strength and getting better.”
“You seem quite upset.”
Feedback
The correct option provides an opportunity for the client to further share and discuss feelings. Option
2 is a stereotypical comment. Options 3 and 4 seem to console the client, but they indicate that the
nurse has taken “a side” in the argument, which is nontherapeutic.
A patient diagnosed with class 3 TB 1 week ago is admitted to the hospital with
symptoms of chest pain and coughing. What nursing action has the highest priority?*
1/1
Preparing the patient’s room with suction equipment and extra linens
Placing the patient in an intensive care unit where he can be closely monitored
Administering the patient’s antitubercular drugs
Admitting the patient to an airborne infection isolation room
Feedback
A patient with class 3 TB has clinically active disease and airborne infection isolation is required for
active disease until the patient is noninfectious, indicated by negative sputum smears. Cardiac
monitoring and observation will need to be done with the patient in isolation. The nurse will administer
the antitubercular drugs after the patient is in isolation. There should be no need for suction or extra
linens after the TB patient is receiving drug therapy.
Which patient should the nurse plan to teach how to prevent or delay the development

state which statement is correct about malaria?*
0/1
If you get malaria once, you won’t get it again
Malaria is a neglected tropical disease
Malaria is common in swam area.
Malaria is quite often endemic in poorer regions of the world
Feedback
Whilst malaria is not caused by poverty itself, the ability to control and eliminate the disease is
affected by socio-economic factors. A study by Xia Zhao and colleagues from the University of Oxford
found that increased socio-economic improvements such as wealth, life expectancy and urbanization
were the key drivers in eliminating malaria in Europe in the early 20th century.

1/1
Discuss the precipitating factors that caused the symptoms.
Notify the speech pathologist for an emergency consult.
Prepare to administer recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA).
Schedule for a STAT computed tomography (CT) scan of the head.
Feedback
A CT scan will determine if the client is having a stroke or has a brain tumor or another neurological
disorder. If a CVA is diagnosed, the CT scan can determine if it is a hemorrhagic or an ischemic
accident and guide treatment.
In addition to smoking cessation, what treatment is included for COPD to slow the
progression of the disease?*
1/1
Use of bronchodilator drugs
Lung volume–reduction surgery
Prevention of respiratory tract infections
Use of inhaled corticosteroids
Feedback
Smoking cessation is one of the most important factors in preventing further damage to the lungs in
COPD but prevention of infections that further increase lung damage is also important. The patient is
very susceptible to infections and these infections make the disease worse, creating a vicious cycle.
Bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, and lung volume–reduction surgery help to control
symptoms but these are symptomatic measures.

A client says to the nurse, “Ever since my wife passed on, my life is empty and has no
meaning.” What is the appropriate nursing response?*
1/1
“Let’s talk about the positive things that you have in your life.”
“Your life has no meaning?”
“What would your children think if they knew how you felt?”
“Most people who lose a loved one feel empty.”
Feedback
: In the correct option, the nurse uses the therapeutic technique of restating. In this technique, the
nurse explores more thoroughly topics that are significant to the client. Option 2 generalizes and does
not focus on the client. Option 3 focuses on the client’s children rather than on the client’s feelings.
Option 4 avoids the client’s feelings.
The nurse is assessing a client experiencing motor loss as a result of a left-sided
cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Which clinical manifestation would the nurse
document?*
1/1
Hemiparesis of the client’s left arm and apraxia.
Paralysis of the right side of the body and ataxia.
Homonymous hemianopsia and diplopia.
Impulsive behavior and hostility toward family.
Feedback
The most common motor dysfunction of a CVA is paralysis of one side of the body, hemiplegia; in this
case with a left-sided CVA, the paralysis would affect the right side. Ataxia is an impaired ability to
coordinate movement.

A 36-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus asks the nurse whether an influenza
vaccine is necessary every year. What is the best response by the nurse?*
1/1
“Antiviral drugs, such as zanamivir (Relenza), eliminate the need for vaccine except in the older
adult.”
“You should get the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine that is injected every year.”
“An annual vaccination is not necessary because previous immunity will protect you for several
years.”
“Only health care workers in contact with high-risk patients should be immunized each year.”
Feedback
The injected trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine is recommended for individuals 6 months of age
and older and those at increased risk for influenza-related complications, such as people with chronic
medical conditions or those who are immunocompromised, residents of long-term care facilities,
health care workers, and providers of care to at-risk persons. The live attenuated influenza vaccine is
given intranasally and is recommended for all healthy people between the ages of 2 and 49 but not for
those at increased risk of complications or health care providers. The immunity will not protect for
several years, as new strains of influenza may develop each year. Antiviral agents will help to reduce
the duration and severity of influenza in those at high risk but immunization is the best control
Two days following a self-managed hypoglycemic episode at home, the patient tells the
nurse that his blood glucose levels since the episode have been between 80 and 90
mg/dL. Which is the best response by the nurse?*
1/1
“That is a good range for your glucose levels.”
“That level is too low in view of your recent hypoglycemia and you should increase your food
intake.”
“You should take only half your insulin dosage for the next few days to get your glucose level
back to normal.”
“You should call your health care provider because you need to have your insulin increased.”
Feedback
Blood glucose levels of 80 to 90 mg/dL (4.4 to 5 mmol/L) are within the normal range and are desired
in the patient with diabetes, even following a recent hypoglycemic episode. Hypoglycemia is often
caused by a single event, such as skipping a meal, taking too much insulin, or vigorous exercise. Once
corrected, normal glucose control should be maintained.

A patient tells the nurse on admission to the health care facility that he recently has
been classified as legally blind. What does the nurse understand about the patient’s
vision?*
1/1
May be able to perform many tasks and activities with vision enhancement techniques
Will need time for grieving and adjusting to living with total blindness
Will be dependent on others to ensure a safe environment for functioning
Has lost usable vision but has some light perception
Feedback
A person who is legally blind may have some usable vision that will benefit from vision enhancement
techniques. A person with total blindness has no light perception and no usable vision and a person
with functional blindness has the loss of usable vision but some light perception. As only 4% of
blindness occurs suddenly from injuries, the grieving is probably already in process. Dependency on
others from visual impairment is individual and cannot be assumed.
What was the resurgence in tuberculosis (TB) resulting from the emergence of
multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis related to?*
0/1
A lack of effective means to diagnose TB
Increased population of immunosuppressed individuals with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS)
Poor compliance with drug therapy in patients with TB
Indiscriminate use of antitubercular drugs in treatment of other infections
Feedback
Drug-resistant strains of TB have developed because TB patients’ compliance with drug therapy has
been poor and there has been general decreased vigilance in monitoring and follow-up of TB
treatment. TB can be diagnosed effectively with sputum cultures. Antitubercular drugs are almost
exclusively used for TB infections. The incidence of TB is at epidemic proportions in patients with HIV
but this does not account for drug-resistant strains of TB.
The following options are the duties and responsibilities of a nurse, except?*

A patient with active TB continues to have positive sputum cultures after 6 months of
treatment. She says she cannot remember to take the medication all the time. What is
the best action for the nurse to take?*
1/1
Arrange for directly observed therapy by a responsible family member or a public health nurse.
Have a patient who has recovered from TB tell the patient about his successful treatment.
Schedule the patient to come to the clinic every day to take the medication.
Schedule more teaching sessions so the patient will understand the risks of noncompliance.
Feedback
Notification of the public health department is required. If drug compliance is questionable, follow-up
of patients can be made by directly observed therapy by a public health nurse or a responsible family
member. A patient who cannot remember to take the medication usually will not remember to come to
the clinic daily or will find it too inconvenient. Additional teaching or support from others is not usually
effective for this type of patient.

A health care provider has prescribed oxygen as needed for an infant with heart failure.
In which situation should the nurse administer the oxygen to the infant?*
1/1
When drawing blood for electrolyte level testing
When the mother is holding the infant
During sleep
When changing the infant’s diapers
Feedback
Heart failure (HF) is the inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the oxygen
and metabolic needs of the body. Crying exhausts the limited energy supply, increases the workload of
the heart, and increases the oxygen demands. Oxygen administration may be prescribed for stressful
periods, especially during bouts of crying or invasive procedures. Options 1, 2, and 3 are not likely to
produce crying in the infant.
A diabetic patient is found unconscious at home and a family member calls the clinic.
After determining that a glucometer is not available, what should the nurse advise the
family member to do?*
1/1
Administer glucagon 1 mg intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously.
Have the patient drink some orange juice.
Call for an ambulance to transport the patient to a medical facility.
Administer 10 U of regular insulin subcutaneously.
Feedback
If a diabetic patient is unconscious, immediate treatment for hypoglycemia must be given to prevent
brain damage and IM or subcutaneous administration of 1 mg of glucagon should be done. If the
unconsciousness has another cause, such as ketosis, the rise in glucose caused by the glucagon is
not as dangerous as the low glucose level. Following administration of the glucagon, the patient
should be transported to a medical facility for further treatment and evaluation. Insulin is
contraindicated without knowledge of the patient’s glucose level and oral carbohydrates cannot be
given when patients are unconscious.

A 72-year-old woman is diagnosed with diabetes. What does the nurse recognize about
the management of diabetes in the older adult?*
1/1
It usually is not treated unless the patient becomes severely hyperglycemic.
It is more difficult to achieve strict glucose control than in younger patients.
It does not include treatment with insulin because of limited dexterity and vision.
It usually requires that a younger family member be responsible for care of the patient
Feedback
Older adults have more conditions that may be treated with medications that impair insulin action.
Hypoglycemic unawareness is more common, so these patients are more likely to suffer adverse
consequences from blood glucose– lowering therapy. Because the clinical manifestations of longterm
complications of diabetes take 10 to 20 years to develop, the goals for glycemic control are not as
rigid as in the younger population. Treatment is indicated and insulin may be used if the patient does
not respond to oral agents. The patient’s needs rather than age determine the responsibility of others
in care.

A client who has been raped arrives at the emergency department. Which of these
observations would be most important for the nurse to consider when planning the
immediate care for the client?*
0/1
The victim states that she knows the rapist well; in fact, they had been dating for several weeks.
The victim states that she “feels like it did not happen.”
The victim states that “she feels numb.”
The victim states that the rapist knows where she lives and that, “He will kill me if I tell anyone
Feedback
The nurse’s primary concern is to provide for safety. The priority statement by the victim is that the
rapist will kill her. The victim who states that she feels like it did not happen or that she feels numb is
most likely in the denial stage, which can be a helpful defense mechanism for the client. The fact that
the rapist and the victim knew each other is a common phenomenon; in some situations of abuse, the
victim does know the rapist.
A client newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus is taking an intermediate-acting
insulin at 0700 daily. The nurse should monitor the client closely for which signs and
symptoms in the late afternoon?*
1/1
Hunger; shakiness; and cool, clammy skin
Increased appetite and abdominal pain
Increased urination and rapid deep breathing
Thirst; red, dry skin; and fruity breath odor
Feedback
The client taking an intermediate-acting insulin would experience peak effects of the medication from
approximately 4 to 12 hours after administration. At this time, the client is at risk for hypoglycemia if
food intake is insufficient. The nurse should teach the client to watch for signs and symptoms of
hypoglycemia during this time frame, which includes hunger, shakiness, cold sweating, headache,
anxiety, increased pulse, blurred vision, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. The other options list
various manifestations of hyperglycemia.
After running in a half marathon, JR, a 24 year old woman with type 1 diabetes, was

the disease?*
1/1
A high count of mycobacteria in the culture.

1/1
“When I have these skin tests, nothing ever shows up”
“My grandmother died from Tuberculosis.”
“I had a shot for Tuberculosis 6 years ago”
“I won’t take the medicine even if they do find something”
Feedback
Most indicative of possible contraindication for skin testing; need to explore meaning of word “shot”
and what was actually done; may have been the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine used to
promote active immunity to TB; false positive reactions to TB skin testing can occur in individuals who
have received this vaccine “requires further exploration” indicates possible complication.
The outpatient clinic nurse administers a Tuberculin skin test (TST) to four adult clients.

Patients who received a BCG vaccine, which prevents against the development of Tuberculosis (TB),
may demonstrate a false-positive response to a TST.
Which dietary modification helps to meet the nutritional needs of patients with COPD?*
1/1
Eating a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet
Preparing most foods of the diet to be eaten hot
Drinking fluids with meals to promote digestion
Avoiding foods that require a lot of chewing
Feedback
Eating is an effort for patients with COPD and frequently these patients do not eat because of fatigue,
dyspnea, and difficulty holding their breath while swallowing. Foods that require much chewing cause
more exhaustion and should be avoided. A low-carbohydrate diet is indicated if the patient has
hypercapnia because carbohydrates are metabolized into carbon dioxide. Fluids should be avoided at
meals to prevent a full stomach and cold foods seem to give less of a sense of fullness than hot
foods.

A patient with early cataracts tells the nurse that he is afraid cataract surgery may cause
permanent visual damage. What should the nurse teach the patient?*
1/1
The cataracts will only worsen with time and should be removed as early as possible to prevent
blindness.
Progression of the cataracts can be prevented by avoidance of ultraviolet (UV) light and good
dietary management.
Vision enhancement techniques may improve vision until surgery becomes an acceptable
option to maintain desired activities.
Cataract surgery is very safe and with the implantation of an intraocular lens, the need for
glasses will be eliminated.
Feedback
Although cataracts do become worse with time, surgical extraction is considered an elective
procedure and is usually performed when the patient decides that he or she wants or needs to see
better for his or her lifestyle. There are no known measures to prevent cataract development or
progression. Surgical extraction is safe but the patient will still need glasses for near vision and for
any residual refractive error of the implanted lens.
When obtaining a health history from a patient suspected of having early TB, what
manifestations should the nurse ask the patient about?*

Chest pain, hemoptysis, and weight loss
The husband of a patient with severe COPD tells the nurse that he and his wife have
not had any sexual activity since she was diagnosed with COPD because she becomes
too short of breath. What is the nurse’s best response?*
1/1
“Would you like for me to talk to you and your wife about some modifications that can be made
to maintain sexual activity?”
“You should explore other ways to meet your sexual needs since your wife is no longer capable
of sexual activity.”
“There are other ways to maintain intimacy besides sexual intercourse that will not make her
short of breath.”
“You need to discuss your feelings and needs with your wife so she knows what you expect of
her.”
Feedback
Specific guidelines for sexual activity help to preserve energy and prevent dyspnea and maintenance
of sexual activity is important to the healthy psychologic well-being of the patient. Open
communication between partners is needed so that the modifications can be made with consideration
of both partners.
The nurse is performing an admission interview on a client being admitted to the mental
health unit and discovers that the client experienced a severe emotional trauma 1
month ago and is now experiencing paralysis of the right arm. The nurse should plan for
which priority intervention?*
1/1
Encouraging the client to move and use the arm.
Referring the client to group therapy.
Checking the client for organic causes of the paralysis.
Encouraging the client to talk about his feelings.
Feedback
The priority intervention is to check the client for any physiological cause of the paralysis. Although
the client may be referred to group therapy, this is not the priority. Although a component of the plan
of care is to encourage the client to discuss feelings, this also is not the priority. It is not appropriate
to encourage the client to use the arm without ruling out a physiological cause of the paralysis.
Mrs. Shon, a 35 year old pregnant patient reports to a health care clinic, complaining of
loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. After assessment of the patient, tuberculosis is
suspected. A sputum culture is obtained and identifies Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Which instruction should the nurse include in the patient’s teaching plan?*
1/1
Medication will not be started until after delivery of the fetus.
Therapeutic abortion is required.
Isoniazid plus Rifampicin will be required for 9 months
She will have to stay at home until treatment is completed.
Feedback
More than 1 medication may be used to prevent the growth of resistant organisms in a pregnant client
with Tuberculosis. Treatment must continue for a prolonged period. The preferred treatment for the
pregnant client is Isoniazid plus Rifampicin daily for 9months. Ethambutol is added initially if
medication resistance is suspected. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) often is administered with Isoniazid to
prevent fetal neurotoxicity. The client does not need to stay at home during treatment and therapeutic
abortion is not required.
During the acute phase of a stroke, the nurse assesses the patient’s vital signs and

S3 and S4 heart sounds
Cardiac dysrhythmias
Feedback
The body responds to the vasospasm and decreased circulation to the brain that occurs with a stroke
by increasing the BP, frequently resulting in hypertension. The other options are important
cardiovascular factors to assess but they do not result from impaired cerebral blood flow.

Cancer cells go through stages of development. What accurately describes the stage of
promotion (select all that apply)?*
1/1
Promotion is the stage of cancer development in which there is an irreversible alteration in the
cell’s DNA.
Tobacco smoke is a complete carcinogen that is capable of both initiation and promotion.
Withdrawal of promoting factors will reduce the risk of cancer development.
Obesity is an example of a promoting factor.
The stage is characterized by increased growth rate and metastasis.
Feedback
RATIONALE: Promoting factors such as obesity and tobacco smoke promote cancer in the promotion
stage of cancer development. Eliminating risk factors can reduce the chance of cancer development
as the activity of promoters is reversible in this stage. Increased growth, invasion, and metastasis are
seen in the progressive stage.

RATIONALE: Patients should always be taught what to expect during a course of chemotherapy,
including side effects and expected outcome. Side effects of chemotherapy are serious but it is
important that patients be informed about what measures can be taken to help them to cope with the
side effects of therapy. Hair loss related to chemotherapy is usually reversible and wigs, scarves, or
turbans can be used during and following chemotherapy until the hair grows back.

Feedback
RATIONALE: Multifactorial conditions are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental
factors. In diabetes, several genes have been identified that increase the likelihood of getting diabetes.
Single gene disorders result from a single gene mutation, for example, sickle cell disease.
Chromosome disorders are caused by structural changes within chromosomes or an excess or
deficiency of the genes in that locus. People are born with these disorders. Acquired genetic disorders
occur when there is an error in replication or damage to DNA from toxins at some time in the person’s
