A client is taking prednisone to prevent transplant rejection. What instruction by the
nurse is most
important?
,a. Avoid large crowds and people who are ill.
b. Check over-the-counter meds for acetaminophen.
c. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed.
d. You have a higher risk of developing cancer.

a. Avoid large crowds and people who are ill.
*Prednisone, like all steroids, decreases immune function. The client should
be advised to avoid large crowds and people who are ill. Prednisone does
not contain acetaminophen. All clients should be taught to take
medications exactly as prescribed. A higher risk for cancer is seen with
drugs from the calcineurin inhibitor
category, such as tacrolimus (Prograf).
When caring for a client with cirrhosis, which of these does the nurse expect to find
on assessment? (select all that apply)
a) Prolonged partial thromboplastin time
b) Icterus of skin
c) Swollen abdomen
d) Elevated magnesium
e) Currant jelly stool
f) Elevated amylase level
Give this one a try later!
a) Prolonged partial thromboplastin time
b) Icterus of skin
c) Swollen abdomen
*Clients with cirrhosis have damaged clotting factors, so prolonged
coagulation times and bleeding may result. Icterus, or jaundice, results from
cirrhosis. The client with cirrhosis may develop ascites, or fluid in the
abdominal cavity.Elevated magnesium is not related to cirrhosis. Amylase is
typically elevated in pancreatitis. Currant jelly stool is consistent with
intussusception, a type of bowel obstruction. The client with cirrhosis may
develop hypocalcemia and/or hypokalemia. It is also consistent with
, elevations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase
(ALT), and alkaline phosphatase.
Match each cancer cell picture with its likely definition or explanation.
Use each picture and definition only once. *REFER TO IMAGES IN QUIZ 8
____Disordered architecture, structure and arrangements: likely cancer cells
____Cells all look the same type and size: normal cell structure
____Tumor with smooth border, defined edges, no spreading or extravasation = benign
or encapsulated tumor
____Tumor which has extravasated or spread beyond margins/borders = malignant
tumor
