A client is diagnosed with gastroenteritis. The nurse realizes that this illness occurs from which type of disease-causing organism?
 
  1. Bacteria
  2. Fungi
  3. Protozoa
  4. Viruses

Question 2

A client is diagnosed with a bacterial infection. Which of the following is an example of this type of infection?
 
  1. Malaria
  2. Gastroenteritis
  3. Urinary tract infection
  4. Typhus

Question 3

According to assessment findings, the nurse determines that a client is experiencing an inflammatory process. Which of the following did the nurse assess in this client?
 
  1. Redness, swelling, heat, and pain
  2. Reduced urine output
  3. Thirst
  4. Elevated blood pressure and slow heart rate

Question 4

A client's complete blood count reveals a large amount of phagocytic cells present. The nurse realizes that this type of cell is most likely:
 
  1. basophils.
  2. eosinophils.
  3. monocytes.
  4. neutrophils.

Question 5

The nurse, assessing a client's leukocyte level, determines the amount to be within normal limits. Which of the following would indicate a normal level of leukocytes in the client's blood?
 
  1. 14 to 18 g/dL
  2. 4.6 to 6.2 million/mm3
  3. 4500 to 11,000 mm3
  4. 50 to 60 percent

Question 6

Which of the following components of the arterial blood gas will the nurse focus when on determining a client's acid-base status? (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. pH
  2. PO2
  3. PCO2
  4. HCO3-
  5. O2 Sat
  6. Hgb

The answer to question 1

3
Protozoa are single-cell parasitic organisms that form cysts or spores. Diseases caused by protozoa include malaria and gastroenteritis. Hepatitis A, B, and C are examples of a disease caused by a virus. Pneumonia and urinary tract infections are examples of diseases caused by bacteria. Ringworm is an example of a disease caused by fungi.

The answer to question 2

3
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria. Malaria and gastroenteritis are caused by protozoa. Typhus is caused by rickettsia.

The answer to question 3

1
The symptoms of the inflammatory process are redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Reduced urine output, thirst, elevated blood pressure, and slow heart rate are not symptoms of the inflammatory process.

The answer to question 4

4
Monocytes are phagocytic but in a smaller amount than neutrophils. Basophils are stimulated by allergens and eosinophils by parasites. Neutrophils are the chief phagocytic cells and are present in larger numbers as a response to early inflammation.

The answer to question 5

3
The normal amount of leukocytes or white blood cells in the blood is 4500 to 11,000 mm3. The value of 14 to 18 g/dL is the normal hemoglobin level. The value of 4.6 to 6.2 million/mm3 represents the normal amount of red blood cells. The value of 50 to 60 percent represents a normal neutrophil level.

The answer to question 6

1, 3, 4
Interpretation of the client's acid-base status involves the evaluation of three components of the arterial blood gas: pH, PCO2 and HCO3-.. PO2 and O2 Sat are not used to evaluate the client's acid-base status. Hgb level is not a component of the arterial blood gas.
