Pearson InflammationThe nurse is conducting a teaching session for community members
about inflammatory disorders.
Which disorder is most important for the nurse to include in the teaching
session?
A. Appendicitis
B. Ulcerative colitis
C. Rheumatoid arthritis
D. Nephritis
Answer: C
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common inflammatory disorder affecting
approximately 1.3 million adults in the United States. Nephritis,
appendicitis, and ulcerative colitis have an inflammatory component
within the disease process but are not nearly as common in the United
States as arthritis.
The nurse reviews infection control actions with a patient recovering
from leg inflammation caused by an infection.
Which patient statement should indicate to the nurse that teaching was
successful?
A. "Pathogens can cause my body to identify normal tissue as being
foreign."
B. "An infection can cause me to develop an airway obstruction."
C. "If pathogens get into my wound, they could cause the inflammation
to get worse."
D. "An infection can cause long-term impairment of function."
Answer: C
, Pathogens trigger the activation of the inflammatory and immune
responses. White blood cells are attracted to the pathogen and increase
their production with the goal of destroying the invading pathogen. The
body perceiving normal tissue as being foreign explains the affect of
immunity on inflammation. Impairment in function is a potential effect of
inflammation, but it is a concept that is not directly related to the affect of
infection on the inflammatory process. An abnormal inflammatory
response causing airway obstruction explains the affect of oxygenation
on inflammation.
A patient with inflammation that is affecting oxygenation asks why a
heart monitor has been applied.
Which response by the nurse is accurate?
A. "A problem with oxygenation sometimes causes heart arrhythmias."
B. "Inflammation sometimes causes your heart to slow down."
C. "The monitor will give us information on how well you are responding
to treatment."
D. "The monitor will let us keep track of your blood pressure and heart
rate."
Answer: A
A patient who is experiencing altered oxygenation could develop cardiac
arrhythmias. Placing the patient on a cardiac monitor will allow the nurse
to monitor for the development of arrhythmias and treat them early if
they occur. A cardiac monitor is not used to monitor blood pressure.
Inflammation does not cause the heart to slow down and it does not
provide information as to how well the patient is responding to treatment.
