relieve distress caused by increased thyroid size
destroy the overactive thyroid tissue

used for thyroid ablation to destroy the overactive thyroid tissue that causes the
thyroid hormone dysfunction.
Which of the following statements about falls in the elderly is least accurate?
Black women are at higher risk for hip fractures than white women.
The majority of deaths from falls are among people aged 65 years or older.
Injuries from falls include head injuries, pelvic injuries, lacerations, and more.

Normal age-related changes of the skin may be confused with which of the
following clinical abnormalities?
Normal age-related changes of the skin may be confused with dehydration.
Sebaceous gland activity tends to decrease with age, and the skin's natural
hydrators decline over the years. The skin's ability to regenerate lipids
compromising the protective lipid barrier layer of the Stratum Corneum also
declines with age, as does blood flow to the skin, which may cause a drop in
sebum production.
A 29-year old woman who is 6 weeks postpartum reports she is having rectal
bleeding that she believes is related to hemorrhoids. The Adult Nurse
Practitioner knows that this type of rectal bleeding is usually described as:
dark brown to black blood color with normal-appearing stool
significant amounts of bright red blood
large blood clots and mucus mixed with stool
streaks of bright red blood on the stool - Answer The Correct answer is:
streaks of bright red blood on the stool
Choice D is the right answer. The color of blood related to hemorrhoids is
described as bright red, eliminating choice A. Amount of blood with
hemorrhoids is usually small or scant, eliminating choices B and C. Internal
hemorrhoids can occur during or after childbirth. With chronically protruding or
prolapsing hemorrhoids, the patient often reports mucous leaking and staining
of the undergarments. Other causes are obesity, constipation, and prolonged
sitting.
You have a patient with AIDS. You recognize that a low CD4 T-cell count puts the
patient at risk for opportunistic infections. You are reviewing his lab reports and
see that his CD4 T-cell count is indeed low. Which of the following is the normal
range for CD4 T-cell count?
The normal CD4 T-cell count is 600 - 1200. A low CD4 T-cell count is below 600.
The destruction of the CD4 T-cell causes depletion in the number of CD4 T-cells
and consequently increases the risk of infection. This puts the patient at risk for
infection.

and a diastolic pressure of 90 - 99 mm Hg. The treatment recommendation for
this stage is usually a thiazide diuretic and for those with diabetes, either ACE
inhibitors or ARBs, because of their renal protective properties.

EXCEPT:
wheezing with and without associated respiratory infections
a congested cough worse during the day
recurrent shortness of breath with exercise
a recurrent spasmodic cough that is worse at night - Answer The Correct

concern.
