1. Question
The client is admitted to the hospital with a suspected diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease. Which assessment finding would the nurse expect to note specifically in the client?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale.
Option 4 is correct.
Rationale: Hodgkin’s disease is a chronic progressive neoplastic disorder of lymphoid tissue characterized by the painless enlargement of lymph nodes with progression to extralymphatic sites, such as the spleen and liver. Weight loss is most likely to be noted. Fatigue and weakness may occur but are not related significantly to the disease.
Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination.Options 1 and 2 are comparable or alike and are rather vague symptoms that can occur in many disorders. Option 3 can be eliminated because, in such a disorder, weight loss is most likely to occur. Also, recalling that Hodgkin’s disease affects the lymph nodes will direct you to option 4. Review the manifestations associated with Hodgkin’s disease if you had difficulty with this question.
