A 10-year-old patient is talking to the nurse about wanting to try contact lenses instead of wearing glasses. She states that the other children at her school call her four-eyes. Contact lenses should be prescribed for a child who is
 
  a. At least 12 years of age
  b. Able to read all the written information and instructions
  c. Able to independently care for the lenses in a responsible manner
  d. Confident that she really wants contact lenses

Question 2

The nurse is discussing the insulin needs of a primiparous client with diabetes who has been using insulin for the past few years.
 
  The nurse informs the client that her insulin needs will increase during pregnancy based on the nurse's understanding that the placenta produces: A) hCG, which increases maternal glucose levels

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Chronologic age is not the major determinant. A responsible 10-year-old child
might be permitted to wear contact lenses.
B The ability to read does not indicate understanding of the instructions.
C The child must be able to care for the lenses independently. Serious eye damage
can occur with irresponsible use of contact lenses.
D Confidence and wanting do not equal responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
hPL acts as an antagonist to insulin, so the mother must produce more insulin to overcome this resistance. If the mother has diabetes, then her insulin need would most likely increase to meet this demand. hCG does not affect insulin and glucose level. Estrogen, not estriol, is believed to oppose insulin. In addition, insulin does not cross the placenta. Relaxin is not associated with insulin resistance.

The word drug comes from the Dutch word droog (meaning "dry"). For centuries, most drugs came from dried plants, hence the name.

Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. It is important for infants to have eye examinations as early as possible in their development and then another at age 2 years.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
