A patient presents with a blood pressure of 204/102 mmHg. The patient complains of
chest palpitations, a headache and blurred vision.

, Hypertensive crisis
The provider is caring for a client diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),
an autoimmune disease.
When reviewing the bloodwork, what would the provider expect to see?
Positive autoantibodies
Decreased T cell count
Elevated white blood cell count
Decreased number of lymphocytes

Positive autoantibodies
Glucocorticoids inhibit vitamin-D dependent calcium absorption in the intestine.What
are patients on glucocorticoids therefore more susceptible to?
Paget disease of bon
Rhabdomyolysis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Rickets
Give this one a try later!
Rickets
Rational: Rickets occur when the building blocks required for bone
mineralization are not available in sufficient amounts. Since
, glucocorticoids block intestinal absorption of calcium, there will not be
enough calcium to build new bone tissue.
An adolescent male patient is brought to the emergency department after spending a
long day at the beach. The patient's head, neck, and trunk from the waist upwards and
legs from the knees downward are bright red and edematous. The patient is crying
and reports 8 out of 10 on the pain scale and an inability to find a comfortable
position.What is the most likely classification of this burn?
Deep partial thickness
Superficial partial thickness
Full thickness

An ICU patient's arterial blood gas results show low pH and low CO2 levels. The
patient's respiratory rate is increased.
What is the name of this condition?
Respiratory acidosis
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Give this one a try later!
Metabolic acidosis
Rational: Since the pH is low, and the pH and CO2 are trending in the same
direction, the condition is metabolic acidosis. The low CO2 indicates that
, CO2 is not causing the acidosis. The increased respiratory rate lowers
blood CO2 in an attempt to compensate for the metabolic acidosis.
A provider is providing care to a patient with peripheral neuropathy. The patient asks
the provider why they developed this disorder.
What are causes of peripheral neuropathy? Choose three responses.
Diabetes mellitus type 1
Cerebrovascular accident
Chemotherapy treatment for cancer
Parkinson disease
Chronic alcoholism
Chlamydia

Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of peripheral neuropathy.
Chemotherapy treatment for cancer can result in peripheral neuropathy
due to damage of the nerves.
Chronic alcoholism results in nutritional deficiencies and demyelination of
the nerves, causing peripheral neuropathy.
Which differences in immunity make children and older adult patients more
susceptible to infections?
Choose 2 answers.
Younger patients have fewer memory cells to combat infection.
Older adult patients have a dwindling population of naive T cells.
Older adult patients have more memory cells to combat infection.
