When discussing the stressors felt by a single mother in her 30s, the nurse recognizes that the greatest financial impact on this family is caused by:
 
  1. The ever-rising cost of living in the United States
  2. The realization that a female earns 25 less than her male co-worker
  3. Court-ordered child support is often times inadequate.
  4. Daycare expenses are a strain on a single wage earner family

Question 2

The nurse is completing a physical exam for a 45-year-old client who has come to the family practice office. In evaluating the observations made during the examination, the nurse recognizes that an expected finding for a client in this age-group is:
 
  1. Hepatomegaly
  2. Visual acuity below 20/50
  3. An oral temperature of 39 C
  4. Increased amount of skin turgor

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
According to the AFL-CIO (2004) workers' union, women in the United States are paid 76 cents for every dollar men receive for comparable work. This fact has an all-encompassing effect on the single-parent household. The cost of living is rising; it is not unique to the single mother. While court-ordered support often is inadequate, it does not have the impact that earning power has on the family income. While daycare expenses can be a strain, does not have the impact that earning power has on the family income.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The visual acuity tested by the Snellen chart should be less than 20/50. Hepatomegaly is not an expected finding and would be considered abnormal. Oral temperature should be 36.1 to 37.6 C. The expected finding would be a slow, progressive decrease in skin turgor.
