Signs of hemolytic anaemias include:

Red, sore tongue.

Pica.

Splenomegaly and Jaundice.

Paresthesias.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Splenomegaly and jaundice are signs of hemolytic anemia, a disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they are made.

Splenomegaly is an enlargement of the spleen, which may trap and destroy healthy red blood cells. Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by the buildup of bilirubin, a waste product of hemoglobin breakdown. Choice A is wrong because red, sore tongue is a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, not hemolytic anemia.

Choice B is wrong because pica is a craving for nonfood items, such as ice, dirt, or starch. It is a sign of iron deficiency anemia, not hemolytic anemia. Choice D is wrong because paresthesias are sensations of tingling, numbness, or prickling in the hands or feet. They are a sign of pernicious anemia, a type of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, not hemolytic anemia.

Normal ranges for red blood cell count are 4.5 to 5.9 million cells per microliter for men and 4.1 to 5.1 million cells per microliter for women. Normal ranges for hemoglobin are 13.5 to 17.5 grams per deciliter for men and 12.0 to 15.5 grams per deciliter for women. Normal ranges for bilirubin are 0.1 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter for adults.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C"]

Explanation

These actions ensure the safety of the client by reducing the risk of falls, confusion and injury.

Keeping a call bell within the client’s reach allows them to ask for help when needed.

Keeping a dim light on at night helps them orient themselves and see their surroundings.

Keeping unnecessary furniture out of the way prevents tripping and cluttering. Choice D is wrong because keeping all side rails up at all times can be considered a form of physical restraint, which is associated with many professional, legal and ethical challenges. Physical restraint should only be used as a last resort when other alternatives have failed or are not feasible. Keeping all side rails up can also increase the risk of injury if the client tries to climb over them.

Choice E is wrong because keeping all lights off at night can increase the risk of falls and confusion for the client.

Older adults may have impaired vision and cognition, and they may need to use the bathroom frequently at night. Keeping all lights off can make it difficult for them to find their way and increase their anxiety.

A. Left lower quadrant. B. Left upper quadrant. C. Right upper quadrant. D. Right lower quadrant.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

McBurney’s point is located one-third of the distance from the right anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus. This is where the base of the appendix is attached to the cecum, which is part of the large intestine. When the appendix becomes inflamed or infected, it causes pain in this area.

Choice A is wrong because the left lower quadrant is where the sigmoid colon and part of the small intestine are located.

These organs are not related to appendicitis.

Choice B is wrong because the left upper quadrant is where the stomach, spleen, and part of the pancreas are located.

These organs are also not related to appendicitis.

Choice C is wrong because the right upper quadrant is where the liver, gallbladder, and part of the small intestine are located. These organs can cause pain in this area if they have problems, but not appendicitis
