a 35-year-old female is diagnosed with multiple myeloma. biopsy of the tumor reveals russell bodies, and laboratory testing reveals kidney dysfunction. which substance should the nurse monitor as it is accumulating in the patient’s body?
glycogen
protein
pigment
melanin

Explanation:

Question 29

To determine the injury type, we analyze the location of the blood collection. A subdural hematoma involves blood between the dura mater's inner surface and the brain's surface. An epidural hematoma is between the dura mater and the skull. Contusion is brain tissue bruising, and abrasion is a skin injury. The CT scan shows blood between dura's inner surface and brain, so it's a subdural hematoma.

In multiple myeloma, Russell bodies are abnormal protein deposits. Kidney dysfunction can occur due to protein accumulation (like Bence - Jones proteins). Glycogen is a carbohydrate, pigment (like melanin) is for color, and melanin is a pigment. So the substance accumulating is protein. (Note: There seems to be an error in the selected option in the original; the correct answer should be Protein, but following the task to present the options as is, if we assume the intended correct option was misselected, but based on the given options, the analysis is as above. However, if we strictly follow the marked option, we present it as is.)

Answer:

A. Subdural hematoma
