    Hypokalemia, hyponatremia and dehydration are concerns for eating disorders

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and dehydration are commonly associated with eating disorders. Hypokalemia refers to low levels of potassium in the blood, which can occur due to inadequate intake of food. Hyponatremia is characterized by low levels of sodium in the blood, often caused by excessive fluid intake or purging behaviors. Dehydration is a common consequence of eating disorders, as individuals may restrict their fluid intake. Therefore, it is true that these conditions are concerns for eating disorders.

    Which eating disorder have an increased risk for cavities

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia
    Explanation
    Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by purging, which can involve self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. The repeated exposure of teeth to stomach acid during purging can erode the protective enamel, leading to an increased risk of cavities. This is why individuals with bulimia have a higher risk for cavities compared to those with anorexia nervosa, which does not involve purging behaviors.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Normal appearance, open and talkative

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia
    Explanation
    The given answer, "Bulimia," is correct because it is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives or diuretics. People with bulimia often maintain a normal body weight, so their appearance may not indicate the disorder. However, they may exhibit signs of being open and talkative, as they may feel a sense of relief or release after purging. Anorexia nervosa, on the other hand, is characterized by severe restriction of food intake and a distorted body image, leading to low body weight.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Children with ADHD tend to have a co-morbidity with substance abuse, conduct disorder, anxiety and/or depression. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Children with ADHD often have a higher risk of developing co-morbid conditions such as substance abuse, conduct disorder, anxiety, and depression. This means that they are more likely to experience these conditions in addition to their ADHD symptoms. The presence of these co-morbidities can complicate the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, as they may require additional interventions and support. Therefore, it is true that children with ADHD tend to have a co-morbidity with substance abuse, conduct disorder, anxiety, and/or depression.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Adult ADHD is usually misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety and/or bipolar. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Adult ADHD is often misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety, and/or bipolar disorder. This is because the symptoms of ADHD, such as difficulty concentrating, impulsivity, and restlessness, can overlap with symptoms of these other mental health conditions. Additionally, individuals with ADHD may also experience symptoms of depression and anxiety as a result of their ADHD symptoms and the challenges they face in daily life. Therefore, it is common for adults with ADHD to be initially misdiagnosed with these other conditions before receiving a proper diagnosis of ADHD.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Mild confusion, and difficulty concentrating

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Anorexia Nervosa
    Explanation
    Mild confusion and difficulty concentrating are symptoms commonly associated with Anorexia Nervosa. This eating disorder is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to severe restriction of food intake. The inadequate nutrition and extreme weight loss associated with Anorexia Nervosa can cause cognitive impairments, including difficulty concentrating and confusion. These symptoms may be a result of the brain not receiving enough nutrients and energy to function properly. Bulimia, another eating disorder mentioned in the question, is not typically associated with these specific symptoms.

    Irrational fear that produces a conscious avoidance of the feared subject, activity or situation

    • Phobia

    • Anxiety

    • Panic

    • Separation Anxiety

    Correct Answer
    A. Phobia
    Explanation
    A phobia is an irrational fear that causes a person to consciously avoid the feared subject, activity, or situation. This fear is excessive and disproportionate to any actual danger posed by the object or situation. It can be debilitating and interfere with daily life. Phobias are different from anxiety or panic, which are more general terms. Separation anxiety, on the other hand, refers specifically to the fear of being separated from a loved one or attachment figure. Therefore, the best fit for the given description is phobia.

    Most children with ADHD are diagnosed when they start school. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Most children with ADHD are diagnosed when they start school because this is when their symptoms become more noticeable and problematic in an academic setting. The structured environment and increased demands of school can exacerbate ADHD symptoms, leading to difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Teachers and parents may observe these behaviors and seek an evaluation for ADHD. Additionally, the expectations and performance standards in school may highlight the child's struggles with organization, time management, and completing tasks, further prompting a diagnosis.

    Priority nursing diagnosis for ADHD: 

    • Ineffective role performance

    • Safety/Injury r/t risk taking behaviors

    • Low self-esteem and self-concept

    • Compromised family coping

    Correct Answer
    A. Safety/Injury r/t risk taking behaviors
    Explanation
    The priority nursing diagnosis for ADHD is Safety/Injury related to risk-taking behaviors. This is because individuals with ADHD often engage in impulsive and reckless behaviors, which can put them at a higher risk for accidents and injuries. Ensuring their safety and preventing harm is crucial in managing their condition. The other diagnoses listed are also important considerations, but addressing the safety concerns takes precedence in this case.

    • Conduct Disorder

    • Learning Disorder

    • Oppositional Defiant Disorder

    • ADHD

    Correct Answer
    A. Conduct Disorder
    Explanation
    Conduct Disorder is diagnosed by the DSM based on specific criteria, including aggression towards people or animals, destruction of property, theft, deceitfulness, and serious violation of rules. These behaviors are indicative of a pattern of conduct that goes beyond typical childhood misbehavior. Conduct Disorder is a serious mental health condition that often requires intervention and treatment to address the underlying issues contributing to the disruptive behaviors.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which eating disorder causes bradycardia and arrhythmias

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Anorexia Nervosa
    Explanation
    Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by severe restriction of food intake, leading to significant weight loss. This extreme calorie restriction can cause numerous complications, including bradycardia (slow heart rate) and arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). The body's metabolism slows down in response to the lack of nutrients, which can lead to a decrease in heart rate and potentially disrupt the normal electrical activity of the heart, resulting in arrhythmias. Therefore, anorexia nervosa is the eating disorder that is associated with bradycardia and arrhythmias.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Which eating disorder an increased risk of osteoporosis (reduction in bone density)

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Anorexia Nervosa
    Explanation
    Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by severe restriction of food intake, leading to significant weight loss. This disorder often involves an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. People with Anorexia Nervosa often have nutritional deficiencies, including a lack of calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones. The lack of these nutrients, combined with hormonal changes and decreased estrogen levels, can result in a reduction in bone density and an increased risk of osteoporosis.

    This is caused by abnormal gene on the lower end of the long arm of the X chromosome

    • Fragile X

    • Down Syndrome

    • PKU

    • Tourette's

    Correct Answer
    A. Fragile X
    Explanation
    Fragile X syndrome is caused by an abnormal gene located on the lower end of the long arm of the X chromosome. This gene mutation leads to a deficiency in a protein called FMRP, which is important for normal brain development. This deficiency results in a range of developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as physical characteristics such as a long face, large ears, and flexible joints. Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that primarily affects males, although females can also be carriers of the gene mutation.

  • 21. 

    Embarrassment, shame and guilt; hides food

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia
    Explanation
    Bulimia is the correct answer because it is characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting or the use of laxatives. People with bulimia often feel a sense of shame, guilt, and embarrassment about their eating behaviors, which leads them to hide their food or engage in secretive eating. This behavior is different from anorexia nervosa, which involves severe restriction of food intake and a distorted body image.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    Prozac and Tegretol are effective for Fragile X symptoms

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Prozac and Tegretol have been found to be effective in managing symptoms associated with Fragile X syndrome. Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes intellectual disabilities, behavioral challenges, and other physical and cognitive impairments. Prozac, also known as fluoxetine, is an antidepressant that can help improve anxiety, mood, and behavior in individuals with Fragile X. Tegretol, or carbamazepine, is an anticonvulsant medication that can help manage seizures and aggressive behavior often seen in Fragile X syndrome. Therefore, it is true that Prozac and Tegretol are effective for Fragile X symptoms.

    Diagnosis of ODD occurs when the child does not fit into the criteria of  Conduct Disorder 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) are two separate diagnoses with distinct criteria. ODD is characterized by a pattern of defiant and disobedient behavior, while CD involves more severe and aggressive behaviors. If a child's behavior does not meet the criteria for CD but aligns with the symptoms of ODD, a diagnosis of ODD would be appropriate. Therefore, the child would not fit into the criteria of CD, leading to a diagnosis of ODD.

  • 25. 

    Swollen parotid glands are a sign of: 

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia
    Explanation
    Swollen parotid glands are a common symptom of bulimia. Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging, usually through self-induced vomiting. The repeated vomiting can cause the salivary glands, including the parotid glands, to become swollen. This is because the excessive vomiting irritates and inflames the glands, leading to their enlargement. Therefore, the correct answer is Bulimia.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Eating disorder patients may not exercise at all

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Eating disorder patients may engage in excessive exercise as a way to control their weight or compensate for their eating habits. This behavior is commonly seen in disorders like anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. Therefore, the statement that eating disorder patients may not exercise at all is incorrect.

    Absence of phenylalanine hydroxylase: 

    • Fragile X

    • Down Syndrome

    • PKU

    Correct Answer
    A. PKU
    Explanation
    PKU stands for Phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder caused by the absence or deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down the amino acid phenylalanine. Without it, phenylalanine builds up in the body and can cause intellectual disability, developmental delays, and other health problems. Fragile X and Down Syndrome are unrelated genetic disorders and do not involve the absence of phenylalanine hydroxylase.

    Pervasive Developmental Disorder is also known as: 

    • Mental Retardation

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder

    • PKU

    Correct Answer
    A. Autism Spectrum Disorder
    Explanation
    Pervasive Developmental Disorder is another term for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. The term "pervasive" refers to the fact that these difficulties are present across various areas of a person's life. Mental Retardation and PKU are unrelated conditions and not synonymous with Pervasive Developmental Disorder.

  • 30. 

    Key to diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa:

    • 3 missed periods in a year

    • 3 missed periods in 6 months

    • 3 consecutive missed periods

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 consecutive missed periods
    Explanation
    The key to diagnosing Anorexia Nervosa is the occurrence of 3 consecutive missed periods. This is because the extreme weight loss and malnutrition associated with anorexia can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, leading to the absence of menstruation. The consecutive nature of the missed periods indicates a consistent pattern and further suggests the presence of an underlying eating disorder.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Which eating disorder has an increased risk for pneumonia 

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Bulimia
    Explanation
    Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging behaviors such as self-induced vomiting or excessive exercise. These purging behaviors can lead to repeated episodes of vomiting, which increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia occurs when food, stomach acid, or saliva is inhaled into the lungs, causing infection and inflammation. Therefore, individuals with bulimia are at an increased risk for pneumonia compared to those with anorexia nervosa, which does not involve purging behaviors.

    Rate this question:

    Preoccupied with food and has magical thinking (if I were thinner everything would be perfect)

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia

    Correct Answer
    A. Anorexia Nervosa
    Explanation
    The given answer suggests that the individual is preoccupied with food and has magical thinking, believing that if they were thinner, everything would be perfect. This is a characteristic feature of Anorexia Nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. People with Anorexia Nervosa often restrict their food intake severely, leading to significant weight loss and potential health complications. Bulimia, on the other hand, involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise, which is not mentioned in the given information. Therefore, Anorexia Nervosa is the most fitting diagnosis based on the provided description.

    Russell's sign: 

    • Spot of knuckles from inducing vomiting

    • Pouch of fluid that collects in abdomen

    • Enamel erosion

    Correct Answer
    A. Spot of knuckles from inducing vomiting
    Explanation
    Russell's sign refers to the presence of calluses or bruises on the knuckles, which are caused by repeatedly inducing vomiting. This behavior is commonly seen in individuals with eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa. The act of inducing vomiting involves placing the fingers down the throat, which leads to friction and trauma on the knuckles. Therefore, the presence of knuckle spots is indicative of a history of self-induced vomiting.
