Chapter 16. Alterations in Cognitive Systems, Cerebral Hemodynamics, and Motor Function
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.A neurologists explains that arousal is mediated by the:
a. Cerebral cortex
b. Medulla oblongata
c. Reticular activating system
d. Cingulate gyrus
ANS: C
Arousal is mediated by the reticular activating system, which regulates aspects of attention and
information processing and maintains consciousness.
Arousal is mediated by the reticular activating system; the cerebral cortex affects movement.
Arousal is mediated by the reticular activating system; the medulla oblongata controls things
such as hiccups and vomiting.
Arousal is mediated by the reticular activating system; the ingu e gyrus plays other roles in
response.
Cognitive Level: Comprehension 347
2. A 20-year-old male suffers a severe closed d injury in a motor vehicle accident. He
remains in a vegetative state (VS) 1 mo fter the accident. Which of the following structures
is most likely keeping him in a vegetative state?
a. Cerebral cortex
b. Brainstem

Chapter 24. Alterations of Hematologic Function in Children
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A 1-year-old female is diagnosed with anemia secondary to insufficient erythropoiesis. When
the parents asked what caused this, how should the nurs respond? The most likely cause(s) is
(are):
a. Genetic factors
b. An iron deficiency
c. A hemoglobin abnormality
d. An erythrocyte structural abnormality
ANS: B
The most common c use of insufficient erythropoiesis is iron deficiency.
The most common cause of insufficient erythropoiesis is iron deficiency, not genetic factors.
The m st common cause of insufficient erythropoiesis is iron deficiency, not a hemoglobin
abnormality.
The most common cause of insufficient erythropoiesis is iron deficiency, not an erythrocyte
structural abnormality.Cognitive Level: Comprehension 535
2. A 12-month-old toddler weighing 18 pounds is brought to the clinic because of weakness,
slow physical growth, and developmental delays. His mother reports that the only food he will
consume is cows milk. Considering this information, the nurse decides that the child probably
has anemia.
a. Pernicious
b. Iron deficiency
c. Aplastic
d. Hemolytic
ANS: B
As many as one-third of infants with severe iron deficiency anemia have chronic intestinal blood
loss induced by exposure to a heat-labile protein in cow milk. Such exposure causes
