Which of the following characteristics of cell membranes underlies the nurse’s teaching?

A male patient of a nurse practitioner has an autosomal dominant disorder. The patient and his partner are considering starting a family. Which of the patient’s following statements indicates the patient has an adequate understanding of the genetic basis of this health problem? (Points : 3)“I know there’s no way of accurately determining the chance that my child will inherit the disease.”“My children who don’t have the disease still run the risk of passing it on to their children.”“I know that new genetic mutations won’t occur between generations.”“I know that a single mutant allele is to blame for the health problem.”Question 11.11. As part of an orientation to a genetic counseling practice, a group of medical students is differentiating between autosomal recessive disorders and autosomal dominant disorders. Which of the following statements is true of autosomal recessive disorders? (Points : 3)They can manifest when present in one or both gene pairs.There is a one in two chance of an affected child in each pregnancy with an affected mother.They tend to have a more uniform symptomatology than autosomal dominant disorders.The associated disorders are usually attributable to abnormalities in structural proteins.Question 12.12. The nurse practitioner working in occupational health has been asked to speak to a group of factory workers about the importance of wearing gloves when working with strong chemicals such as turpentine and paint thinner. Which of the following characteristics of cell membranes underlies the nurse’s teaching? (Points : 3)Cell membranes are impermeable to all but lipid-soluble substances.Cell membranes have lipids that have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail.Cell membranes contain receptors for hormones and biologically active substances.Transmembrane proteins can pass through the cell membrane into the intracellular environment.Question 13.13. The NP is providing care for a 21-year-old female patient with gas gangrene of a compound fracture in her arm. Which of the following assessment findings would the nurse most reasonably expect to find when caring for a patient with a diagnosis of gas gangrene? (Points : 3)Inflammation of the affected tissueA positive culture for StaphylococcusSpreading edemaImpaired alveolar gas exchange Question 14.14. A community health nurse practitioner is teaching a group of female high school students about the importance of regular Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. The nurse recognizes that which of the following items underlies the rationale for this teaching? (Points : 3)The active substitution of normal cells in the cervix correlates to cancer risk.Undifferentiated stem cells are an early indicator of cervical cancer.Cancer of the uterine cervix develops incrementally at a cellular level.Dysplasia in the connective tissue of the cervix is a strong precursor to cancer.Question 15.15. Which target of both chemotherapy and radiation treatment accounts for adverse as well as therapeutic effects? (Points : 3)Cell-surface receptorsCirculating hormone levelsBlood vesselsRapidly proliferating cells
