Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

In the neutropenic client, visitors with communicable infections should be restricted. Fluid intake should be encouraged. Gloves may be appropriate but should never replace hand hygiene. Invasive procedures such as indwelling catheters should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The thalamus is the main relay station for sensory information. Pain information is then transmitted to the cerebral cortex as well as the reticular and limbic systems for the processing and interpretation of pain. The cerebral cortex is the second step in processing pain stimuli. The transmission of pain moves through the limbic system after the thalamus. Transmission of pain impulses occurs in the reticular system after traveling though the thalamus as the main relay station.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
