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

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse recalls the major hormonal minant of sexual differentiation in utero is:
a. Estrogen
b. Progesterone

ANS: DTestosterone is necessary for the genital tubercle to differentiate into male genitalia; otherwise,
female genitalia develop.
Testosterone, not estrogen, determines sexual differentiation in utero.
Testosterone, not progesterone, determines sexual differentiation in utero.
Testosterone, not growth hormone, determines sexual differentiation in utero.

substance associated with puberty in males and females is the hormone:
a. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
b. Luteinizing hormone (LH)

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
c. Spinal cord
d. Cerebellum

Chapter 44. Alterations of the Integument in Children
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A 4-month-old male is brought to his primary care provider for severe itching and skin lesions.
He is diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. Which of the following would be elevated in this patient?

b. Immunoglobulin M (IgM)
c. Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
d. Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
ANS: C
Most individuals affected with atopic dermatitis show an increased serum IgE level.

Most individuals affected with atopic dermatitis show an increased serum IgE level, not IgG.
Cognitive Level: Comprehension 1071
2. A 4-month-old female is diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD). Which of the following
assessment findings by the nurse will most likely support this diagnosis?
a. Blistering
b. Moist reddened skin
c. Dry, itchy skin
d. White patches
ANS: C
AD has a constellation of clinical features that include dry, sensitive, itchy, and easily irritated
skin because the barrier function of the skin is impaired.
Dry skin, not blistering, occurs in AD.
Dry skin, not moist skin, occurs in AD.
