Actual Final Exam Questions with all Questions
Accurately Answered 2024/2025
HIV/AIDS - correct answer -life-threatening change in immune system
-HIV/AIDS constitute one the world's most costly and serious medical, public
health, and social challenges of our time.
-improved diagnosis and treatments increase life expectancy, making hiv/aids
a chronic condition rather than deadly
-although kids with hiv positive moms are usually born hiv positive, they often
become hiv negative because the babies make their own blood
-hiv moms are able to breastfeed: fix their milk so that it does not have hiv in it
-moms can't feed straight from the breast, but it is still their milk
-epidemiology:
Principle modes of transmission in pediatric population are
Mother to child and
Adolescent risky behavior (sexual activity and iv drug use)
-haart therapy (highly active antiretroviral therapy) prevents perinatal
transmission; given to mothers during prenatal period
-etiology: found in blood, semen, vaginal secretions, anal secretions, breast
milk; transmitted by lymphocytes and monocytes with an incubation or latency
period of months to years
-pathophysiology:
•virus takes over cd4+t lymphocytes
•cd4+t cell count drops, increasing risk of infections
-manifestations:
,•malnutrition, short stature, cardiomyopathy
•enlarged lymph nodes and spleen, oral candidiasis
-diagnosis:
•infants born to hiv + mothers will test positive because of the presence of
maternal antibodies derived transplacentally
•maternal antibodies may persist for up to 18 months in the infant; therefore,
other diagnostic tests are used - most commonly polymerase chain reaction
(pcr)
•early testing using recombinase polymerase amplification (rpa); a faster test
that only takes 20 minutes for results
•cdc classification system: system indicates severity of s/s and the degree of
immunosuppression.
Care management:
-education: transmission and control, standard precautions
-prevention counseling for adolescents
-pain management: due to infections; adverse effects of meds;
encephalopathy; deep musculoskeletal pain; various procedures
(venipunctures, lumbar punctures, biopsies, endoscopies)
-look at psychosocial aspects: stigma
-confidentiality
Scid (severe combined immunodeficiency disease) - correct answer -
absence of immunity, both humoral and cell-mediated
,-susceptible to infection early in life: most common manifestation; most often
occurs in the first months
-chronic infections, failure to completely recover from infections, frequent
reinfections, and infection with unusual agents
-failure to thrive is a consequence of the persistent illness
Treatment:
-treated with donor bone marrow transplant if diagnosed within the first 3
months of life
-ivig provides passive immunity until transplant performed
-prophylaxis
-key is to prevent infections and support child and family
-prognosis is very poor if bone marrow transplant not available
Technologic management of hematologic and immunologic disorders -
correct answer -blood transfusion:
•prbcs, platelets
•ffp and cryoprecipitate are other blood products
•be alert to transfusion reactions
•standard guidelines for all transfusion monitoring
•use infusion pump
-apheresis:
•removal of blood, separation of components, reinfuse portion
•used to remove and save platelets from healthy donors
Cancer - correct answer epidemiology and etiology of childhood cancer:
, -childhood cancer is rare: 16,400 cases/year
-cancer deaths: 1300 children younger than 15 each year
-incidence of cancer caused by direct inheritance is low
-chromosome abnormalities have been identified in many childhood
malignancies:
•can be confined to the tumor
•can all be present in all cells in the body
•can cause translocation (rearrangement of information between 2
chromosomes)
•can cause abnormal numbers of chromosomes
-the incidence of specific types of cancer can vary according to age, sex, and
race.
-boys have an overall higher incidence of cancer than females
-caucasian children have higher incidences of cancer than african american
children
-the incidence of cancer is more pronounced in children ages 0 to 4 years of
age and then again in adolescents 15 to 19 years of age
