Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
The cell is composed of a nucleus, which contains genetic material and controls the production of proteins by the cell; a cell membrane, which separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment; and cytoplasm, which contains various organelles important to cell function. The mitochondria and the organelles are units within the cytoplasm but are not main parts of the cell.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
African Americans develop increased toxicity to the corticosteroid methylprednisolonep articularly when it is used for immunosuppression after renal transplantation. This toxicity can include severe steroid-induced diabetes mellitus. A priority intervention with this patient is monitoring blood glucose levels. Assessment of capillary refill time and cardiac rhythm would not be indicated by the data supplied about this patient. White blood cell counts should be monitored on any patient receiving long-term corticosteroids but is not specific to this patient.
