greenstick

Normal Cardiac: Cardiac output is a product of stroke volume and

heart rate

Altered Cell Biology: In response to hypertension, myocardial cells in the left ventricle will adapt through the process of

hypertrophy.

Immunity: Which statement indicates a client understands transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?

"I can contact HIV by participating in oral sex" "HIV is contracted by using contaminated needles" "Babies can contract HIV because of contact with maternal blood during birth"

Which statement describes the nurse's responsibility in this situation?

Assessment by the nurse was incomplete and, as a result, the treatment was insufficient

Nervous tissue

Endocrine: Which hormone regulates blood levels of calcium?

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

Immunity: Which information would the nurse use to explain a positive diagnosis for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection?

Positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot tests

Normal Cardiac: In the normal cardiac cycle, which of the following occurs?

The two atria contract simultaneously, whereas the two ventricles relax.

Endocrine: The nurse is assessing a client with a suspected thyroid disorder. Which diagnostic studies will be used to confirm that the thyroid disorder is autoimmune in origin?

Thyroglobulin antibody, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroid-stimulating antibody

another type of cell.

aortic arch

Immunity: Which type of immunity will clients acquire through immunizations with live or killed vaccines?

artificial active immunity

Normal Cardiac: Which does not significantly affect the heart rate?

atrioventricular valves

being 20 pounds (9kg) overweight

Endocrine: Which physiological changes would the nurse expect to find in a client with a 20-year history of type 2 diabetes?

blurry, spotty, or hazy vision

Immunity: The nurse is interviewing a client who was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which clinical findings to this disease would the nurse expect the client to exhibit?

butterfly facial rash and inflammation of the joints

Endocrine: Which responses would the nurse expect a client to exhibit as a result of decreased level of triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4)?

weight gain and cold intolerance

Musculoskeletal: Which hormone is responsible for altered serum calcium concentrations?

calcitonin and parathyroid hormone

Musculoskeletal: Which factors contribute to development of osteoporosis in female clients?

cigarette smoking, familial predisposition, inadequate intake of dietary calcium

Altered Cell Biology: Tissue ischemia and a decrease in mitochondrial oxygenation directly result in

decreased ATP production.

Endocrine: Which assessment finding would indicate to the nurse that a client may have a hyperfunctional thyroid gland?

diarrhea and weight loss

Normal Cardiac: The heart chamber that receives blood from the pulmonary circulation is the:

left atrium.

Musculoskeletal: Which mean on the client's dietary record provides the most calcium?

lunch

Endocrine: The nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing an underproduction of thyroxine (T4). With which diagnosis is this associated?

myxedema (the severest form of hypothyroidism)

Immunity: Which type of immunity is acquired through the transfer of colostrum from the mother to the child?

natural passive immunity

Endocrine: Which clinical finding is commonly associated with hyperglycemia?

polyuria (excess urination) polydipsia (excessive thirst) polyphagia

Normal Cardiac: Blood pressure is measured as the:

pressure exerted on arteries by the blood.

Endocrine: Which findings in a client may indicate potential thyrotoxic crisis?
