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.

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.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
