Question

question 8 (2 points) saved while assessing a male client, a nurse observes that the client has a small penis, long legs, short trunk, enlarged breast tissues, small testicles, and sexual dysfunction. what reason does the nurse suspect from these findings? mumps infection presence of an extra x chromosome prolonged consumption of antihypertensive agents increased cellular growth and size of the prostate gland question 9 (2 points) saved familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol level. which statement is true regarding the condition? children are at the risk for early acute myocardial infarction. untreated men develop symptoms by the fifth decade of life. untreated women develop symptoms by the fourth decade of life. homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is less severe than the heterozygous form. question 10 (2 points) saved a client with premenstrual syndrome (pms) is prescribed selective serotonin receptor inhibitors (ssris) and nutritional supplements. which symptom in the client indicates the effectiveness of the therapy? the client has decreased irritability and mood swings. the client no longer experiences painful menstruation. the clients blood report shows no serum beta - human chorionic gonadotropin (b - hcg). the client has elevated levels of progesterone.

Explanation:

For Question 8: The combination of small penis, long legs, short trunk, enlarged breast tissues, small testicles and sexual dysfunction in a male is characteristic of Klinefelter syndrome which is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome (XXY). Mumps infection mainly affects the testes without these multiple - system features. Prolonged use of antihypertensives doesn't cause these physical changes and prostate gland growth is not related to these symptoms.
For Question 9: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder with high cholesterol levels. Children with this disorder are at risk for early acute myocardial infarction due to severely elevated cholesterol. Untreated men usually develop symptoms by the fourth decade, untreated women by the fifth decade and homozygous form is more severe than heterozygous.
For Question 10: Selective serotonin receptor inhibitors (SSRIs) are used to treat the psychological symptoms of pre - menstrual syndrome (PMS) such as irritability and mood swings. They are not used to treat painful menstruation directly, and levels of β - hCG are related to pregnancy not PMS, and SSRIs don't directly affect progesterone levels.

Answer:

Question 8: Presence of an extra X chromosome
Question 9: Children are at the risk for early acute myocardial infarction.
Question 10: The client has decreased irritability and mood swings.
