Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
During the physical assessment the nurse should assess for manifestations that might indicate a genetic disorder. If data indicate the presence of genetic risk factors or alterations, ask about genetic testing and refer for appropriate genetic counseling and evaluation. Chronic kidney disease may be a complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) but is seen more often in patients with type 1 DM. Type 1 and type 2 DM are classified as multifactorial inheritance disorders because both genetic and environmental factors are necessary for onset of the disorder. The patient does not need a home health nurse, an obstetrician, or a physical therapist.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
A renal ultrasound is a noninvasive test conducted to detect renal or perirenal masses, identify obstructions, and diagnose renal cysts and solid masses. It is done by applying a conductive gel to the skin and placing a small external ultrasound probe on the patient's skin. Sound waves are recorded on a computer as they are reflected off tissues. There is no discomfort associated with the test and pain medications or conscious sedation is not needed.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
