The nurse is working with the caregivers of a toddler. In teaching the caregivers about growth and development, the nurse provides information about the fact that depth perception is developing during the toddler years.
 
  Since their child is just entering the toddler stage, the caregivers will realize that developing depth perception will affect their child in which of the following ways? a. cause the child to have an increased fear of heights and of falling out of bed at night
  b. bring about an unusual sense of dizziness at times
  c. cause the child difficulty in learning to swim and in swimming
  d. put the toddler at risk for frequent falls when learning to walk, run, and climb stairs

Question 2

Parents of a child with anemia of unknown cause learn that their child will be tested for sickle cell anemia. The parents ask the nurse to explain why after having a sickle solubility test the child is now going to have a hemoglobin electrophoresis.
 
  Which of the following explanations by the nurse would be most accurate? a. The physician has to verify the results of the first test and doesn't like to base a diagnosis on just one test.
  b. The solubility has to do with the sickle cell and the electrophoresis with the severity of the anemia.
  c. The solubility test has to do with what solutions will dissolve a sickle cell and the electrophoresis with determining the electrical charge.
  d. The solubility test is to detect the presence of hemoglobin S(Hb S), while the hemoglobin electrophoresis is to determine the amount of Hb S in the blood.

Feedback
A Incorrect: Caregivers of a toddler will realize that developing depth perception will not cause the child to have an increased fear of heights and of falling out of bed at night.
B Incorrect: Caregivers of a toddler will realize that developing depth perception will not bring about an unusual sense of dizziness at times.
C Incorrect: Caregivers of a toddler will realize that developing depth perception will not cause the child difficulty in learning to swim and in swimming.
D Correct: Caregivers of a toddler will realize that developing depth perception will put their child at risk for frequent falls when learning to walk, run, and climb stairs.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Explaining why the solubility test is followed by a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, the most accurate statement is not that the physician needs two tests to verify the results.
B Incorrect. Explaining why the solubility test is followed by a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, the most accurate statement is not that hemoglobin electrophoresis reveals the severity of the anemia.
C Incorrect. Explaining why the solubility test is followed by a hemoglobin electrophoresis test, the most accurate statement is not that the solubility test has to do with what solutions will dissolve a sickle cell and the electrophoresis with determining the electrical charge.
D Correct. Testing would begin with a sickle solubility test in order to confirm the presence of Hb S in the blood. If this test is positive, hemoglobin electrophoresis would then be conducted to determine the amount of Hb S in the blood. The results of this test can then be used to differentiate SCA from other types of sickle disease.
