WGU D116 OA


A patient is admitted to the hospital. The patient's
initial laboratory results reveal megaloblastic
anemia. The patient complains of tingling of the
hands and appears confused.
What should the provider suspect in this patient? -
....ANSWER...Iron deficiency anemia
Folic acid deficiency
Celiac disease
YES Vitamin B12 deficiency
Correct! When patients present with megaloblastic
anemia, it is essential to distinguish between a folic

,acid deficiency and a vitamin B12 deficiency. If
neurologic deficits are observed, a vitamin B12
deficiency is more likely to be the cause. This patient
does not have signs of celiac disease. Iron deficiency
anemia would be indicated by low hemoglobin and
hematocrit.


A patient will begin taking immunosuppressant
drugs for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Which dietary supplement should this patient avoid?
- ....ANSWER...Black cohosh
YES Echinacea
Glucosamine
Feverfew
Correct! Echinacea stimulates the immune system,
so it should not be used in patients with autoimmune
diseases such as RA; it also compromises the
effectiveness of immunosuppressive drugs. Black
cohosh, feverfew, and glucosamine are not
contraindicated in patients with RA.


A patient admitted to the emergency department
with abdominal pain tells the provider he has been
taking kava.

,Which action should be the provider's priority at this
time? - ....ANSWER...YES Review liver function
studies
Monitor cardiovascular status
Review complete blood count results
Assess breath sounds and respiratory effort
Correct! Kava can cause severe liver injury and, in
some cases, require liver transplantation. This
patient has abdominal pain, which can be the result
of liver damage, so liver function tests should be
reviewed. Kava does not affect the respiratory
system, the cardiovascular system, or the blood-
forming organs.


A patient who will begin combination estrogen-
progestin therapy (EPT) for menopause asks the
nurse why she cannot take an estrogen-only
preparation. The patient has not had a hysterectomy,
has a slightly increased risk of cardiovascular
disease, and has mild osteopenia.
What response from the provider about progestin is
correct? - ....ANSWER..."Progestin lowers your risk
of myocardial infarction (MI)."
"Progestin prevents deep vein thrombosis (DVT)."

, YES "Progestin decreases your risk of endometrial
cancer."
"Progestin increases bone resorption to prevent
fractures."
Correct! In patients who still have a uterus,
progestin is necessary to reduce the risk of
endometrial carcinoma. Progestins do not have
effects on bone density and do not decrease the risk
of MI or DVT.


An adolescent female patient with multiple sexual
partners asks a nurse about birth control methods.
The patient tells the nurse she tried oral
contraceptives once but often forgot to take her pills.
The nurse should recommend discussing which
contraceptive method with the provider? -
....ANSWER...Progestin-only oral contraceptives
Tubal ligation and condoms
An intrauterine device with a spermicide
YES DMPA (Depo-Provera) and condoms
Correct! This patient has demonstrated a previous
history of nonadherence, so a long-acting
contraceptive would be more effective for her.
Because she has multiple sexual partners, she
should use a condom for protection against STDs. An
