The nurse caring for a client with giardiasis expects the client to have symptoms that primarily affect the:
 
  1. gastrointestinal system.
  2. integumentary system.
  3. renal system.
  4. respiratory system.

Question 2

A client has been hospitalized with malaria. The nurse explains to a family member that the primary determining factor for drug selection with this disease process is:
 
  1. age.
  2. the genus of the infecting organism.
  3. the stage of infection.
  4. the geographical location.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Giardiasis is a disorder affecting the GI system.
Rationale 2: The skin is not disrupted in giardiasis.
Rationale 3: Giardiasis does not primarily affect the renal system.
Rationale 4: The respiratory system is not affected by giardiasis.
Global Rationale: Giardiasis is a disorder affecting the GI system. The skin is not disrupted in giardiasis. Giardiasis does not primarily affect the renal system. The respiratory system is not affected by giardiasis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Age factors into dosage, but is not the determining factor.
Rationale 2: The infecting organism genus does not vary.
Rationale 3: The client's infection stage determines drug selection.
Rationale 4: Geographical location does not affect drug choice, although it might affect infective species.
Global Rationale: Different drugs are recommended for each stage of the infection. There are four different infective species all belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Age does not determine drug choice but may affect dosage. Geographical location does not affect drug choice, but may determine infecting organism species.
