Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Developing countries are simultaneously coping with emerging infectious diseases
Test Bank - Brunner & Suddarth's Textbook of Medical-Surgical Nursing 14e (Hinkle 2017) 174 Feedback: Chronic conditions have become the major cause of health-related problems in developed countries as well as in the developing countries, which are also trying to cope with new and emerging infectious diseases. There is indeed a lack of health infrastructure in many countries, but this is not cited as the cause of the increased incidence of chronic diseases. In many countries, increased life span and health research are not occurring.
Q5. While teaching the mother of a toddler diagnosed with lead poisoning, which of these should the nurse include as the most serious complication if the condition goes untreated?
Stunted growth rate
Cirrhosis of the liver
Neurologic deficits
Heart failure
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C. Neurologic deficits
The most serious and irreversible consequence of lead poisoning is mental retardation due to neurologic changes. It can be expected if lead poisoning is long-standing and goes untreated. Lead poisoning also affects the hematologic and renal systems. Cirrhosis is the end stage of several chronic liver diseases, such as biliary atresia and hepatitis. Lead poisoning is not associated with stunted growth. Chronic illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis, cause slowing of the growth velocity. Heart failure is associated with congenital heart disease and rheumatic fever.
