Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Diarrhea and bloody stools are typical symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Appendicitis is not associated with bloody stools, and usually not with diarrhea. The teen with Crohn disease might have abdominal pain and diarrhea, but stools usually do not have blood in them. Necrotizing enterocolitis is usually seen in premature infants and not generally in an adolescent client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Grand mal, or tonic-clonic, seizure requires prompt management if it continues after 10 minutes has elapsed. Although IV fluids are indicated, a dextrose solution is not indicated. Diazepam may be administered by an IV slowly over several minutes, but not intramuscularly.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
