QuestionAnswer
Cytokines that affect hematopoiesis in bone marrow are called colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) based on their ability to: Regulate blood cells
Which of the following genes for the hematopoietic growth factors has been cloned and its recombinant protein is now used to treat anemia of kidney failure and cancer? Epogen (EPO)
Leukocytes consist of three categories of cells that have different roles in the inflammatory and immune responses. Which of the following leukocytes is correctly matched with its function? Eosinophils—allergic reactions
A client asks, “What do these basophils and mast cells do in the body?” The health care provider responds that they: Are involved when you have an allergic reaction
T-cell lymphocytes leave the bone marrow and travel to the thymus. If successful, they differentiate into which of the following cells? Select all that apply. CD4+helper T cells CD8+ cytotoxic T cells
A client with a long-standing diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has recently developed neutropenia and been admitted to a hospital. Which of the following measures should be prioritized by the nurses who are providing his care? Vigilant handwashing to protect against severe bacterial infections
Which of the following clients experiencing an abnormally low neutrophil count (neutropenia) could have developed this as a side effect to his or her medical regimen? A client with: Hyperthyroidism being treated with propylthiouracil to maintain normal metabolic rate
enlarged lymph nodes and a sore throat. His girlfriend was recently diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. While educating this teenager, the nurse emphasizes that infectious mononucleosis is caused by which pathogen and usually transmitted via: Epstein-Barr virus; saliva
daughter's recent malaise and lethargy. Which of the following assessments should the clinician perform in an effort to confirm or rule out infectious mononucleosis? Palpating the client's lymph nodes
Leukemias are classified according to the predominant cell type. The myelogenous cell type of leukemia can: Interfere with thrombocyte cell maturation
Which of the following clients are at high risk for developing acute myeloid leukemia? Select all that apply. Owner of a convenience store who pumps gas for his customers C) Wife married to a “chain” smoker who smokes 3 packs/day for the past 50 years
A client presents to the emergency clinic not feeling well. Which of the following complaints leads the health care provider to suspect the client may have acute leukemia? Bleeding from the gums, not related to brushing the teeth
A client asks the health care worker why he is taking allopurinol. The client states, “I don't have gout. My grandpa took this for his gout.” The best response would be: “When the chemo kills the leukemia cells, this causes your uric acid levels to rise. Allopurinol will help lower uric acid levels.”
Which of the following factors differentiates chronic leukemias from acute leukemias? The leukemic cells are more fully differentiated than in acute leukemias.
An elderly client presents to the clinic just not “feeling well.” Which of the following bone marrow results would confirm the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia? Proliferation of well-differentiated blood cells in the marrow
Down syndrome and has been experiencing unexplained nose bleeds for the past several months. His blood tests identify blast cells in the peripheral smear. In addition to nose bleeds, his acute leukemia will typically manifest which signs/symptoms? Infections due to neutropenia B) Fatigue due to RBC deficiency D) Bleeding due to thrombocytopenia
