SITUATION: Mr. Ambo is a 75 year old man with Parkinson’s disease. He is admitted to the hospital after experiencing severe nightmare and periods of confusion. During lucid periods, he is very disturbed by these manifestations. At other time, he believes that his wife is participating in a conspiracy to harm him Degenerative neurologic disorders pose a great challenge to the client, the family, and the caregiver. Which is true about Parkinson’s disease?
- A.
It is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin that involves degeneration of the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves
- B.
It is an idiopathic syndrome characterized by disability from tremor and rigidity
- C.
It involves the degeneration of nor-epinephrine-producing cells in the substantia nigra
- D.
It is an infectious disease caused by the Cytomegalovirus
Correct Answer
B. It is an idiopathic syndrome characterized by disability from tremor and rigidityExplanation
Parkinson's disease is an idiopathic syndrome, meaning its cause is unknown. It is characterized by disability from tremor and rigidity. This means that individuals with Parkinson's disease experience symptoms such as shaking/tremors and stiffness in their muscles, which can significantly impact their ability to move and perform daily activities. The disease is not caused by inflammation, an infectious agent like Cytomegalovirus, or the degeneration of the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves. The degeneration of nor-epinephrine-producing cells in the substantia nigra is also not a characteristic of Parkinson's disease.Rate this question:

At other time, he believes that his wife is participating in a conspiracy to harm him The nurse evaluates the health teaching on a client with Parkinson’s disase. Further teaching is required when the nurse observes the following, except:
- A.
The client grips the arms of the chair to reduce embarrassing hand tremors
- B.
The patient does range of motion exercises 3 times a week
- C.
The mattress where the client is sleeping is bouncy and soft
- D.
The client sleeps with 2 piles of pillow under his head
Correct Answer
A. The client grips the arms of the chair to reduce embarrassing hand tremorsExplanation
The client gripping the arms of the chair to reduce hand tremors is an appropriate action for someone with Parkinson's disease. Tremors are a common symptom of the disease, and gripping onto something can help stabilize the hands. The other options are all potential areas where further teaching may be required. Range of motion exercises should be done daily, not just 3 times a week, to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness. The mattress being bouncy and soft may not provide enough support for someone with Parkinson's, who may have difficulty with balance and coordination. Sleeping with two piles of pillows under the head can cause strain on the neck and may not provide proper support for sleep.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 34 year old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. She is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing Nurse Ludy knowledgeably tells a student nurse that the primary feature of Myasthenia Gravis is:
- A.
Emotional disturbances and mental deterioration
- B.
Increasing weakness with sustained muscle contraction
- C.
Ascending weakness, usually beginning in the lower extremities
- D.
Vague psychiatric or behavior changes suggesting a personality change
Correct Answer
B. Increasing weakness with sustained muscle contractionExplanation
The primary feature of Myasthenia Gravis is increasing weakness with sustained muscle contraction. This means that the patient experiences progressive muscle weakness and fatigue, particularly during activities that require continuous muscle use. This symptom is characteristic of the disease and distinguishes it from other conditions. The patient's complaint of increased fatigue and weakness, along with difficulty breathing, aligns with this primary feature of Myasthenia Gravis.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 34 year old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. She is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing A nurse observes a patient when the physician does the diagnostic test to confirm MG. The physician injects 2 mg test does of Edrophonium to the client. No untoward reaction occurred. Another 8 mg was injected and the patient suddenly lifts his weak hand without difficulty. The nurse knows that which test was done to diagnose MG?
- A.
Interferon test
- B.
Prostigmine test
- C.
Mestinon test
- D.
Tensilon test
Correct Answer
D. Tensilon testExplanation
The Tensilon test was done to diagnose MG. The physician injected a test dose of Edrophonium, a short-acting cholinesterase inhibitor, to the patient. When an additional dose of 8 mg was injected, the patient suddenly lifted their weak hand without difficulty. This positive response indicates that the patient has myasthenia gravis, as Edrophonium temporarily improves muscle strength in individuals with MG. The Tensilon test is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis of MG.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 34 year old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. She is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing The nurse in the emergency department is suspecting a cholinergic crisis from the patient with myasthenia gravis. Aside from weakness and difficulty of breathing, what other signs and symptoms will the nurse anticipate:
- A.
Severe respiratory distress and cyanosis
- B.
Absent cough and swallow reflex
- C.
Sudden marked increase in blood pressure due to hypoxia
- D.
Apprehension, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps
Correct Answer
D. Apprehension, nausea, vomiting and abdominal crampsExplanation
In a cholinergic crisis, there is an excessive accumulation of acetylcholine due to overmedication with cholinesterase inhibitors like pyridostigmine. This leads to excessive stimulation of cholinergic receptors throughout the body, resulting in symptoms such as weakness, difficulty breathing, and increased fatigue. Additionally, cholinergic crisis can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Apprehension may also occur due to the respiratory distress caused by the crisis. Therefore, the nurse can anticipate these signs and symptoms in a patient experiencing a cholinergic crisis.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 34 year old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. She is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing The nurse caring for this patient would do which of the following first?
- A.
Providing adequate ventilatory support
- B.
Discontinue all cholinergic drugs until cholinergic effects subside
- C.
Administer 1 mg atropine to counteract severe cholinergic reactions
- D.
Increase doses of cholinergic drugs as long as the client responds positively to edrophonium treatment
Correct Answer
A. Providing adequate ventilatory supportExplanation
The patient's increased fatigue, weakness, and difficulty breathing indicate a potential respiratory distress, which can be life-threatening. Providing adequate ventilatory support should be the first priority to ensure the patient's oxygenation and ventilation. Discontinuing cholinergic drugs, administering atropine, or increasing cholinergic drug doses may be appropriate interventions in certain situations, but they do not address the immediate need for ventilatory support.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 34 year old woman with myasthenia gravis is taking pyridostigmine and prednisone. She is complaining of increased fatigue and weakness and has difficulty breathing The patient’s MG is in its early course. The physician recommends a thymectomy. The nurse in the surgical ward is preparing the client for surgery. Which action by the nurse will denote a violation of the bio-ethical principle non-maleficence?
- A.
Removing dentures and contact lens in the client’s room
- B.
Endorsing valuables to relatives
- C.
Blood standby available
- D.
Letting the patient void after giving preoperative medications
Correct Answer
D. Letting the patient void after giving preoperative medicationsExplanation
Letting the patient void after giving preoperative medications may denote a violation of the bio-ethical principle of non-maleficence because it can increase the risk of aspiration during surgery. It is important to ensure that the patient's bladder is empty before surgery to minimize the risk of complications.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 35 year old female, wheelchair bound, is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She has a neurogenic bladder. She complains of a sudden onset of generalized weakness, fever, and chills and is admitted to the hospital A variety of precipitating factors can precede the onset or an exacerbation of Multiple sclerosis. All of the following are precipitating factors of MS, except:
- A.
Pregnancy
- B.
Lactation
- C.
Physical injury
- D.
Emotional stress
Correct Answer
B. LactationExplanation
Lactation is not a precipitating factor of multiple sclerosis. Pregnancy, physical injury, and emotional stress are known to be precipitating factors that can trigger the onset or exacerbation of MS symptoms. However, lactation, which is the production of breast milk after childbirth, is not typically associated with the onset or exacerbation of MS symptoms.Rate this question:

- A.
“I could use the clean red rubber catheter for 2 weeks as long as it is washed properly”
- B.
“I should maintain the sterility of the catheter when I sue it as home”
- C.
“I could use the cle3an red rubber catheter for up to 1 week, as long as it is washed with running water”
- D.
“After using the catheter I should wash it thoroughly with soap and water and keep it in a clean, tightly sealed plastic bag”
Correct Answer
D. “After using the catheter I should wash it thoroughly with soap and water and keep it in a clean, tightly sealed plastic bag”Explanation
The correct answer is "After using the catheter I should wash it thoroughly with soap and water and keep it in a clean, tightly sealed plastic bag". This statement denotes effective teaching because it emphasizes the importance of proper cleaning and storage of the catheter to prevent infection. Washing the catheter with soap and water helps to remove any bacteria or debris, and storing it in a clean, sealed bag helps to maintain its sterility. This demonstrates the client's understanding of the necessary steps for self-catheterization hygiene.Rate this question:

SITUATION: A 35 year old female, wheelchair bound, is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She has a neurogenic bladder. She complains of a sudden onset of generalized weakness, fever, and chills and is admitted to the hospital What do generalized weakness, fever and chills suggest to any client with MS?
- A.
Exacerbation is caused by the neurogenic bladder and results in fever and chills
- B.
Fever and chills manifests sepsis
- C.
Fever and chills suggest infection that caused the exacerbation of MS leading to weakness
- D.
The weakness suggests exacerbation. The fever and chills are not related to the exacerbation
Correct Answer
C. Fever and chills suggest infection that caused the exacerbation of MS leading to weaknessExplanation
The presence of fever and chills in a client with multiple sclerosis suggests an infection that has caused the exacerbation of their MS symptoms, leading to weakness. Infections can trigger or worsen MS symptoms, and the sudden onset of generalized weakness along with the presence of fever and chills indicates an infectious process. It is important to address and treat the infection to help alleviate the exacerbation of MS symptoms and improve the client's overall condition.Rate this question:

The nurse reiterates the following interventions to prevent exacerbations of MS to the patient, except:
- A.
Identify aggravating factors that lead to exacerbations
- B.
Increase the body’s resistance to illness with intake of citrus fruits
- C.
Confront people who are making her life miserable and try to resolve it
- D.
Avoid stressors such as tiring activities and having a negative outlook in life
Correct Answer
C. Confront people who are making her life miserable and try to resolve itExplanation
The correct answer is "Confront people who are making her life miserable and try to resolve it." This is not a recommended intervention for preventing exacerbations of MS. It is important for the patient to identify aggravating factors that lead to exacerbations, increase their body's resistance to illness with intake of citrus fruits, and avoid stressors such as tiring activities and having a negative outlook in life. However, confronting people who are making her life miserable may not be within the patient's control and may not necessarily prevent exacerbations of MS.Rate this question:

SITUATION: The diagnosis of degenerative neurologic disease is most often made in an out-patient setting. However, hospital admission may be necessary when acute relapses or life-threatening events occur The patient has an ascending paralysis to the level of the waist. Knowing the complications of the disorder, the nurse brings which of the following items into the client’s room?
- A.
Flashlight and incentive spirometer
- B.
Electrocardiographic monitoring electrodes and intubation tray
- C.
Blood pressure cuff and suction machine
- D.
Nebulizer and pulse oximeter
Correct Answer
B. Electrocardiographic monitoring electrodes and intubation trayExplanation
The patient's ascending paralysis to the level of the waist suggests a possible neurologic emergency, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome. This condition can lead to respiratory distress and the need for intubation. Electrocardiographic monitoring electrodes are necessary to monitor the patient's cardiac status, as autonomic dysfunction can occur. Therefore, bringing electrocardiographic monitoring electrodes and an intubation tray into the client's room would be appropriate in this situation.Rate this question:

SITUATION: The diagnosis of degenerative neurologic disease is most often made in an out-patient setting. However, hospital admission may be necessary when acute relapses or life-threatening events occur Nurse Ofelia is evaluating the respiratory outcomes for the client. She determines that which of the following is the least optimal outcome for the client?
- A.
Oxygen saturation of 97%
- B.
Adventitious breath sounds
- C.
Spontaneous breathing
- D.
Vital capacity within normal change
Correct Answer
B. Adventitious breath soundsExplanation
Adventitious breath sounds indicate abnormal lung sounds, such as crackles or wheezes, which can be a sign of respiratory distress or underlying lung pathology. In the context of a client with degenerative neurologic disease, the presence of adventitious breath sounds suggests a worsening of respiratory function and may indicate a need for further intervention or medical attention. Therefore, adventitious breath sounds would be considered the least optimal outcome for the client.Rate this question:

- A.
Include chopped meat and gravy with mashed potatoes in diet
- B.
Allow visiting relatives to join in meal times
- C.
Small frequent feedings should be avoided
- D.
Instruct patient not to hold breath when swallowing
Correct Answer
C. Small frequent feedings should be avoidedExplanation
Small frequent feedings should be avoided. This is not an appropriate nursing intervention because the patient is emaciated as a result of dysphagia. Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing, and in this case, it has caused the patient to become emaciated. Small frequent feedings are typically recommended for patients with dysphagia to prevent choking and aspiration. Therefore, avoiding small frequent feedings would not be beneficial for the patient's condition.Rate this question:
