MN 551 Unit 7 QuizQuestion 1. 1. Following a long history of fatigue, weakness, and poor appetite, a 39-year-old
male has been diagnosed with hypopituitarism. Which of the following clinical findings would
most likely cause his care team to suspect that the man has an additional endocrine disorder from
a different source? (Points : 2)
The man has a low sperm count and has been unable to have children.
The man has a chronic platelet deficiency and is occasionally anemic.
The patient is 5 feet 2 inches tall and was consistently short for his age as a child.
The man displays the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Question 2. 2. A 79-year-old male resident of a long-term care facility has contracted
Clostridium difficile and is experiencing consequent diarrhea. Auscultation of the man's
abdomen indicates hyperactive bowel sounds. What processes in the man's small intestine are
most likely accompanying his current status? (Points : 2)
Pathogenic microorganisms are causing dilation of his small intestine, increasing motility.
Segmentation waves have become more frequent as a result of his infection.
Intestinal stasis brought on by infection is preventing his small intestine from sufficiently
slowing the rate of motility.
Inflammation is accompanied by an increase in peristaltic movements of his small intestine.
Question 3. 3. A 51-year-old male professional is in the habit of consuming six to eight rum and
cokes each evening after work. He assures the nurse practitioner, who is performing his regular
physical exam, that his drinking is under control and does not have negative implications for his
work or family life. How could the nurse best respond to the patient's statement? (Points : 2)
“You are more than likely inflicting damage on your liver, but this damage would cease as soon
as you quit drinking.
“That may be the case, but you are still creating a high risk of hepatitis A or B or liver cancer.”
“In spite of that, the amount of alcohol you are drinking is likely to result first in cirrhosis and, if
you continue, in hepatitis or fatty liver changes.”
“When your body has to regularly break down that much alcohol, your blood and the functional
cells in your liver accumulate a lot of potentially damaging toxic byproducts.”
Question 4. 4. A nurse practitioner is assessing a 7-year-old boy who has been brought to the
clinic by his mother, who is concerned about her son's increasingly frequent, severe headaches.
Which of the nurse's following questions is least likely to yield data that will allow for a
confirmation or ruling out of migraines as the cause of his problem? (Points : 2)
“Does your son have a family history of migraines?”
