DHA Practical Nurse - Why Exam Edge Sample Questions

Which of the following is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for a client with renal calculi?

Correct Answer:
risk of infection.


the correct nursing diagnosis for a client with renal calculi is "risk of infection." this diagnosis is most suitable because individuals with renal calculi, or kidney stones, are at an increased risk of developing infections. this risk arises due to the potential for urine stasis, which is when urine flow is obstructed by the stones. when urine cannot pass freely through the urinary tract, it can lead to an accumulation and stagnation of urine, creating an ideal environment for bacterial growth and subsequent infection.

renal calculi can obstruct the urinary tract at various points, depending on the size and location of the stones. common symptoms associated with this condition include severe pain, hematuria (blood in the urine), and symptoms of urinary tract infection such as fever, dysuria (painful urination), and urgency. these symptoms highlight the direct impact of stones on the urinary system's normal function, primarily through blockage that impedes urine flow.

the option "ineffective renal tissue perfusion" is not the most appropriate diagnosis in this case. while renal calculi can affect kidney function, the primary issue lies in the physical obstruction and potential infection rather than a direct impairment of blood supply to the renal tissue itself. similarly, "decreased cardiac output" is unrelated to the direct effects of renal calculi and pertains more to conditions affecting the heart’s ability to pump blood.

lastly, "functional urinary incontinence" does not apply here, as renal calculi typically lead to urine retention rather than incontinence. incontinence implies an inability to control urination, whereas retention associated with kidney stones is due to blockage preventing urine from exiting the body.

thus, "risk of infection" is the most appropriate and specific nursing diagnosis for a client with renal calculi, focusing on preventive measures and monitoring to manage and mitigate the primary risk associated with this condition.

The parents of a child with cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder, are considering having a second child. Each parent is heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis trait. What is the chance that their second child will manifest the disorder?

Correct Answer:
25%


to understand the likelihood of a child manifesting cystic fibrosis when both parents are heterozygous carriers of the gene responsible for this autosomal recessive disorder, it is essential to comprehend basic genetics. in autosomal recessive conditions like cystic fibrosis, both parents must carry one copy of the mutated gene and pass these copies onto their child for the child to exhibit symptoms of the disease.

each parent being heterozygous means they have one normal allele and one mutated allele of the gene in question. in genetic terminology, they are represented as "aa," where "a" is the normal allele and "a" is the mutated allele. when two heterozygous parents conceive a child, each parent has an equal probability of passing either their normal or their mutated allele to their offspring.

this scenario can be illustrated using a punnett square, a tool used to predict the probability of an offspring inheriting particular alleles from its parents. the square is drawn by listing the possible gametes (sperm or egg contributions) from one parent on one side and those from the other parent on the other side. for parents both with genotype "aa," each can produce gametes that are either "a" or "a." the punnett square, therefore, has four cells, each representing a possible genetic combination for their child: 1. "aa" (normal allele from both parents - does not have cystic fibrosis), 2. "aa" (normal allele from one parent and mutated allele from the other - carrier like the parents but does not have cystic fibrosis), 3. "aa" (similar to the above, with the positions of alleles switched), 4. "aa" (mutated allele from both parents - has cystic fibrosis).

in this setup, only one of the four possible outcomes results in a child with cystic fibrosis ("aa"). therefore, there is a 25% chance (1 out of 4) that the child will inherit cystic fibrosis from heterozygous parents. each pregnancy is an independent event, meaning that the genetic outcomes of one child do not influence those of another. thus, even if the first child from these parents does not have cystic fibrosis, the probability remains at 25% for each subsequent child.
