Question 4

A client asks the nurse what will happen to her digestion if she needs to have her appendix removed. The nurse should respond that the purpose of the appendix is:

  2. to absorb nutrients and another organ will take over this function.
  3. to secrete enzymes and another organ will take over this function.
  4. nothing, so no other organ will need to take over this function.

The answer to question 1  2
Type 1 reactions are anaphylactic reactions. Type 2 is cytotoxic (e.g., transfusion reaction). Type 3 is immune complex. Type 4 is delayed hypersensitive.

The answer to question 2  3
During the assessment, it is very important to discover what medications or over-the-counter drugs are being taken by the patient. Treatment and therapies may change because of this information. How the client was fed as an infant is not a part of this assessment. Asking if the client has knowledge of the food pyramid is not part of this assessment. If the client drinks coffee or tea with meals is not a part of this assessment.

The answer to question 3  3
The four R's of the immune response are recognize, respond, remember, and regulate. The regulate action is turning on for the invader or turning off when the invader is destroyed. It is not about removing.

The answer to question 4  4
The appendix is a blind-ended, tube-like structure exiting from the cecum, and it has no function in humans. The appendix is not needed to digest food, absorb nutrients, or secrete enzymes.

The answer to question 5  1, 2, 3, 4, 5
In progressive systemic sclerosis, the skin, muscle, joints, lungs, esophagus, heart, digestive system, and kidneys are often affected in the diffuse subcutaneous form, often termed as CREST. Clinical manifestations include calcinosis, or small white calcium deposits under the skin; Raynaud's syndrome, or painful cold hands and fingers; alteration in esophageal movement, or difficulty swallowing; sclerodactyly of the fingers and toes; and telangiectasia or permanent dilation of the capillaries, arterioles, and venules. Hematuria is not seen in this disorder.
