Answer
  • a single gene defect.
  • malignancies.
  • nutritional deficiencies.

Answer
  • lymph node enlargement
  • . bone pain.
  • night sweats
  • fever.

Question 4

Question
Erythrocytes (RBCs) are flexible biconcave disks without nuclei whose primary component is an oxygen-carrying molecule called
Answer
  • a reticulocyte
  • erythropoietin
  • 2,3-DPG
  • hemoglobin

Question 5

Question
The patient’s platelet count is 35,000/microliter. The provider prescribes administration of 10 units of single-donor platelets. After transfusion, the nurse can expect the patient’s platelet count to be
Answer
  • greater than 150,000/microliter
  • between 150,000/microliter and 185,000/microliter.
  • between 50,000/microliter and 75,000/microliter.
  • between 85,000/microliter and 135,000/microliter.

Question 6

Question
The patient is diagnosed with lymphoma but has a normal white blood cell (WBC) count. The nurse understands that this patient
Answer
  • will have increased bruising and bleeding.
  • is at risk for infection.
  • has normal WBC function as the WBC is normal.
  • is at risk for an allergic reaction.

Question 7

Question
When caring for a patient with HIV, the nurse should
Answer
  • assure the patient that infections are not a major problem at this point.
  • inform the patient that the disease does not affect the respiratory system.
  • monitor the patient’s medication regimen.
  • not focus on the mouth, as infections of the mouth are rare.

Question 8

Question
The patient is complaining of severe joint pain, as well as fatigue and shortness of breath. The nurse notices that the patient’s joints are swollen and the legs are edematous. The nurse realizes that these are symptoms of
Answer
  • anemia reflective of low volume.
  • hemolytic anemia.
  • aplastic anemia.
  • sickle cell anemia.

Question 9

Question
The nurse is evaluating the patient’s laboratory values and notes an IgG level of 240 mg/dL. The nurse realizes that this patient is a candidate for
Answer
  • no change in therapy because the level is normal.
  • gene replacement therapy.
  • increased doses of immunosuppressive medications.
  • an immunoglobulin infusion.

Question 10

Question
Cellular immunity is mediated by
Answer
  • T lymphocytes
  • B lymphocytes.
  • immunoglobulins.
  • suppressor B cells.

Question 11

Question
Lymphocytes are made up of B cells and T cells. B cells
Answer
  • mediate humoral immunity.
  • migrate to the thymus gland
  • mature in lymphoid tissue.
  • destroy virus-infected cells.

Question 12

Question
Critical to caring for the immunocompromised patient is the understanding that
Answer
  • the immunocompromised patient has normal white blood cell (WBC) physiology
  • infection is the leading cause of death in these patients.
  • the immunosuppression involves a single element or process
  • immune incompetence is symptomatic even without pathogen exposure.

Question 13

Question
A patient with a history of pulmonary embolism is being worked up for a potential coagulopathy that increases the risk for clotting. The nurse understands that the provider may request a test for
Answer
  • factor X deficiency
  • factor VII deficiency.
  • factor IX deficiency
  • protein C deficiency

Question 14

Question
The nurse is caring for a patient who has undergone a splenectomy and notices that the patient’s platelet count has increased. The nurse realizes that the increase is due to
Answer
  • the patient’s inability to store platelets.
  • the platelet’s 120-day life cycle.
  • stimulation secondary to erythropoietin.
  • platelet response to infection.

Question 15

Question
The patient is admitted with anemia caused by blood loss and thrombocytopenia and has a platelet count of 22,000/microliter. The patient is scheduled for a transfusion of RBCs and a transfusion of platelets. The nurse should
Answer
  • give the RBCs before the platelets
  • give the platelets before the RBCs
  • use local therapies to stop the bleeding.
  • give the platelets and RBCs at the same time.

Question 16

Question
The nurse is caring for a patient receiving chemotherapeutic agents and notices that the patient’s neutrophil count is low. The nurse realizes that
Answer
  • the patient has a bacterial infection.
  • chemotherapeutic agents alter the ability to fight infection.
  • neutrophils have a long life span and multiply slowly
  • a shift to the left is occurring

Question 17

Question
In vivo, the primary activator of the coagulation cascade occurs via the
Answer
  • either intrinsic or extrinsic pathway.
  • intrinsic pathway
  • extrinsic pathway
  • common pathway.

Question 18

Question
The patient has a platelet count of 9,000/microliter. The nurse realizes that
Answer
  • this is a normal platelet level.
  • this level is considered slightly low.
  • spontaneous bleeding may occur.
  • the patient is at great risk for fatal hemorrhage.

Question 19

Question
Common to both the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathway is
Answer
  • factor X.
  • factor XII.
  • subendothelial collagen
  • factor VII.

Question 20

Question

Answer
  • erythropoietin.
  • 2,3-DPG.
  • hemoglobin.
