Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

This client was foreign-born, a risk factor for tuberculosis (TB), and has the classic symptoms of tuberculosis. The nurse plans frequent respiratory assessments, as this child is at risk for pneumothorax. Patients with TB are not at particular risk for pneumonia, renal failure, or septicemia.

Answer: B, A, D, C

The pathophysiology of sepsis occurs as follows: Endotoxin released by microorganisms sets off an out-of-control inflammatory process; macrophage-producing cytokines are released; vasodilation with increased capillary permeability and fluid leak; neutrophils arrive and multiply, occluding capillaries.
