| | Pediatric Nursing : GUT Nclex Questions | | 2007-07-25 13:24:00 | | 1. A neonate has a decreased ability to resorb:A. PotassiumB. SodiumC. UreaD. HydrogenRationaleA neonate has a reduced ability to absorb Na & H2O . An infant’s urine is dilute, & hydrogen ion excretion is reduced until 1 yr. These differences in renal function make a neonate susceptible to acidosis.2. Nephrotic syndrome results from:A. Glomerular injuryB. Ureteral injuryC. Bladder traumaD. Meatal constrictionRationaleNephrotic syndrome which results from glomerular filtration injury, is characterized by gross proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminia, & hyperlipidemia. Normally, the membrane of the glomerulus is impermeable to proteins & other large molecules. I n Nephrotic Syndrome, the membrane loses its permeability, enabling urine proteins to filter into in the urine. This results in a fluid shift that is manifested clinically by edema. Idiopathic causes or exposure to drugs, heavy metals, venoim or stings can produce this disorder. Nephrotic syndrome sometimes follows acute or c... | | By: Philippine Nurses - Board Exam Results NLE - Nurse | | |
| | Pediatric - Abuse and Sexual Problem Nclex Questions | | 2007-07-25 13:21:00 | | 1. A child’s gender identity typically is established between ages:A. 1 and 2B. 2 and 4C. 4 ½ and 8D. 8 and 10RationaleGender identity, a conviction of being male or female usually is established between ages 2 & 4. Once a child has become comfortable w/ being male or female, identification w/ the parent of the same sex occurs. Gender identity typically follows a patterned sequence of events. First, the sex chromosomes and gonads initiate differentiation of the reproductive anatomy; next, these visible differences act as a stimulus to parents & others to respond to the child in a manner that shapes the child’s gender identity; and last, hormonal changes during adolescence activate reproductive capacity, thereby confirming the child’s gender.2. Follicle-stimulating hormone in males promoteA. Spermatozoa productionB. Spermatozoa maturationC. Semen productionD. Testosterone releaseRationaleFSH, combined w/ TSH & an appropriate thermal environment, promotes maturation of spermatozoa... | | By: Philippine Nurses - Board Exam Results NLE - Nurse | | |
| | Pediatric Nursing - Neonatal Nclex Questions | | 2007-07-25 12:44:00 | | 1. A healthy neonate’s respiratory rate ranges from:A. 10 to 12 breaths/minuteB. 12 to 18 breaths/minuteC. 20 to 30 breaths/minuteD. 32 to 60 breaths/minuteRationaleA healthy neonate breathes between 32 - 60 times per minute. An obligate nose breather, he uses his abdominal muscles for respiration, w/c is frequently shallow & irregular. To determine an accurate rate, the nurse should count the respiratory rate for 1 min during assessment.2. Which pulse is best to assess in a neonate?A. ApicalB. BrachialC. CarotidD. PedalRationaleAuscultating the apical area is the most accurate way to determine the rate & quality (rhythm, strength & sound) of a neonate’s pulse. The apical pulse w/c should be assessed for 1 min when the neonate is quiet, normally ranges from 110-160 bpm. Auscultating any of the other sites would yield imprecise results; a neonate has small arteries & a rapid pulse rate, w/c makes palpation of the pulse difficult.3. A neonate demonstrates the tonic neck reflex by... | | By: Philippine Nurses - Board Exam Results NLE - Nurse | | |
