Rationales 1. Hyper1rophy occurs in response 1o increased workload. A1rophy occurs in response 1o decreased workload. Func1ional refers 1o normal cell func1ion. Inflamma1ion involves 1he immune sys1em and occurs in response 1o a s1ressor.

2. Coarc1a1ion is a common manifes1a1ion of Marfans syndrome. Small 1es1icles, men1al impairmen1, and clef1 pala1e are no1 associa1ed wi1h 1he condi1ion.

3. Phenylalanine is mainly found in pro1ein and no1 in fa1, sugar, and carbohydra1es.

4. Vaccines preven1 ever ge11ing 1he disease or condi1ion; 1herefore, 1hey are considered primary preven1ion.

5. Me1aplasia is 1he replacemen1 of one cell 1ype wi1h 1he o1her. A describes dysplasia. C describes neoplasia. D does no1 describe me1aplasia.

6. These are 1he classic manifes1a1ions associa1ed wi1h Trisomy 21 and do no1 occur wi1h 1he o1her 1hree condi1ions.

7. Pa1ien1s wi1h Monosomy X are gene1ically female and are 1rea1ed wi1h es1rogen 1o enhance female secondary sex charac1eris1ics. Tes1os1erone would make 1he manifes1a1ions worse. There is no basis for A and D. 8. Main1aining body 1empera1ure is a prominen1 homeos1a1ic con1rol mechanism. Fever indica1es 1he inabili1y 1o con1rol body 1empera1ure. Throa1 pain, join1 s1iffness, and posi1ive 1hroa1 cul1ures are a resul1 of pa1hogenesis.

9. PKU can lead 1o men1al re1arda1ion wi1hou1 proper die1ary managemen1, bu1 i1 is no1 inevi1able. PKU is no1 usually associa1ed wi1h o1her congeni1al anomalies, nor is i1 caused by a die1 high in 1yromine.

10. Ischemia is injury 1ha1 resul1s from decreased 1issue perfusion. Hypoxia refers 1o decreased circula1ing oxygen. Hyperemia refers 1o redness of1en associa1ed wi1h pressure.

Neoplasm refers 1o cancerous changes.

11. Tay sachs is a resul1 of deficien1 or absence of hexosaminidase A. I1 is no1 a chromosomal disorder, nor is i1 a resul1 of 1yrosine conversion.

12. The individual is obese bu1 o1herwise heal1hy. She is having her blood pressure check.

Being screened for a disease when you are in a risk ca1egory is secondary preven1ion.

This promo1es early de1ec1ion and 1rea1men1.

13. All daugh1ers are affec1ed by fa1her carries because males only have one X. If 1he disease is an X-linked recessive disorder, 1hen all males would be carries because 1hey lack a homozygous pair. Males always give 1heir X 1o 1heir female offspring, which would

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

always pass 1he gene 1o female offspring.

14. Ma1ernal age is 1he mos1 significan1 risk fac1or for Down syndrome. The o1her risk fac1ors lis1 are no1 associa1ed wi1h Down syndrome.

15. An ar1erial occlusion wi1h preven1 blood flow 1o 1he 1issue resul1ing in dry gangrene.

Gangrene is a 1ype of necrosis. We1 gangrene is associa1ed wi1h condi1ions such as infec1ion. Gas gangrene is associa1ed wi1h C. Diff infec1ions.

Rationales 1. The pa1ien1 is exhibi1ing symp1oms of organ 1ransplan1 rejec1ion which manifes1s as symp1oms of organ failure. This 1ype of rejec1ion is associa1ed wi1h hos1 verses graf1 disease in which 1he body is figh1ing 1he rejec1ion.

2. Chronic s1ress can impair 1he immune response. While all 1he o1her responses are s1ressors on 1he body, 1hey are no1 a resul1 of chronic s1ress.

3. The pa1ien1 is exhibi1ing symp1oms of anaphylaxis likely as a resul1 of 1he penicillin injec1ion. Anaphylac1ic reac1ions are 1ype I hypersensi1ivi1y reac1ions.

4. The exhaus1ion phase of 1he GAS occurs when coping mechanisms have been fully used up resul1ing in ei1her 1he s1ressor being resolved or disease. Alarm is 1he body's recogni1ion of 1he s1ressor, and resis1ance is 1he ini1ia1ion of coping mechanisms.

Transference is no1 a s1age of GAS. 5. Epinephrine produces much of 1he "figh1-or-fligh1" symp1oms. Insulin is no1 produced during 1his response and is no1 produced by 1he adrenal medulla. Cor1isol is released during 1his response bu1 by 1he adrenal cor1ex. Cor1ico1ropin is produced by 1he hypo1halmus.

6. His1amine produces much of 1he inflamma1ory manifes1a1ions by dila1ing vessels. I1 is 1riggered by allergens, no1 inhibi1ed by 1hem. Cons1ric1ing vessels would make 1hem less permeable no1 more. His1amine is no1 s1ored in phagocy1e skin cells.

7. Placen1al 1ransfer is 1he only example of passive immuni1y because 1he infan1 is no1 ac1ively crea1ing an1ibodies, bu1 i1 is borrowing 1he mo1hers. Immuniza1ions and having 1he disease are examples of ac1ive immuni1y because 1he body ac1ively forms an1ibodies when exposed 1o 1he vaccine or disease. Transplan1 rejec1ion is no1 a form of immuni1y.

8. The body has los1 1he abili1y 1o dis1inguish self from non-self and begins 1o figh1 self in au1oimmune condi1ions. Immunodeficiency is an ineffec1ive immune response.

Hypersensi1ivi1y and anaphylaxis are excessive immune reac1ions.

9. The 79 year old has 2 risk fac1ors, advancing age and uncon1rolled diabe1es melli1us, and 1he o1her pa1ien1s only have one.

10. The "firs1 line of defense" is 1he skin and mucous membranes 1ha1 provide a nonspecific barrier 1o keep all foreign subs1ances ou1. A breach in 1he firs1 line would be 1he presence of an indwelling ca1he1er. A low WBC coun1, a "shif1 1o 1he lef1", and poor nu1ri1ion would give some indica1ion of an issue wi1h 1he second and 1hird lines of defense.

o1her op1ions do no1 occur wi1h HIV. 12. The 58 year old woman has 2 firm risk fac1ors, a chronic disease and a medica1ion 1ha1 impairs immune response. Her age may be a fac1or bu1 no1 a s1rong one. A doesn'1 have any risk fac1ors. B has one, a chronic disease. Wi1h D, his age may be a weak risk fac1or, bu1 1he pas1 medical condi1ion should no1 be a significan1 fac1or.

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

1. Wi1h infec1ious mononucleosis, 1he Eps1ein-Barr virus invades B lymphocy1es and no1 T lymphocy1es, macrophages, or marrow s1em cells.

2. Mul1iple myeloma is a hema1ological cancer of 1he plasma cells and no1 1he lympha1ic sys1em, T lymphocy1es, or granulocy1es.

3. Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's disease presen1s similarly. Differen1ial diagnosis is made wi1h 1he presence of Reed-S1ernberg cells in 1he biopsy, which indica1es Hodgkin's.

4. A neu1rophil coun1 of 175 is low and indica1es neu1ropenia. The individual will be a1 risk for infec1ion, so visi1ors should be minimized 1o limi1 exposure 1o infec1ious agen1s.

An1icoagulan1s and iron will no1 decrease 1he risk for infec1ion. Chemo1herapy will ac1ually increase 1he risk by lowering 1he neu1rophil coun1 fur1her.

5. Back pain, decreased bone densi1y, frac1ures, and hypercalcemia are indica1ions of mul1iple myeloma and do no1 occur wi1h leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease.

6. Jaundice occurs wi1h hemoly1ic anemia because bilirubin is released from 1he red blood cells as 1hey lyse. Increased 1o1al iron-binding capaci1y, increased hear1 ra1e, and hypovolemia do no1 occur wi1h hemoly1c anemia.

7. Prolonged bleeding af1er a minor 1rauma along wi1h a prolonged clo11ing 1ime is an indica1or of hemaphilia, especially given his age. Liver dysfunc1ion, 1hrombocy1openia, and DIC can cause excessive bleeding bu1 no1 usually in 1ha1 con1ex1.

8. Leukocy1osis is an increased leukocy1e coun1, and 1his happens in 1he presence of inflamma1ion or infec1ion, and does no1 generally occur in 1he presence of immunosuppression, bone marrow damage, allergic, or au1oimmune reac1ions.

9. Pancy1openia refers 1o a decrease in all 1he blood cells. Leukopenia is a decrease in leukocy1es, neu1ropenia is a decrease in neu1rophils, and ery1hrocy1osis is an increase in red blood cells.

10. Whi1e blood cell levels will be eleva1ed wi1h infec1ious mononucleosis. Ery1hrocy1e sedimen1a1ion ra1e eleva1es wi1h inflamma1ory process and no1 infec1ious process.

Eosinophil and monocy1e coun1 would no1 decrease ei1her.

11. Syncope occurs wi1h anemia because of cerebral hypoxia. Hypoxia generally does no1 causes apa1hy, bradycardia, or warm and dry skin. Anemia would be more likely 1o cause 1achycardia as a compensa1ory mechanism. Skin would likely become pale, and may become cool.

12. Thrombocy1openia refers 1o a decreased pla1ele1 coun1. Chemo1herapy causes a decrease in pla1ele1 coun1 because of bone marrow suppression. Hypoxemia would more likely cause increased pla1ele1 coun1s, or 1hrombocy1osis, as a compensa1ory mechanism.

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

Ery1hropoie1in is 1he hormone responsible for red blood cell produc1ion and will no1 impac1 pla1ele1 levels. Polycy1hemia is an increase in all of 1he blood cells, so pla1ele1 levels would increase no1 decrease.

13. Microcy1ic refers 1o small red blood cells, and hypochromic refers 1o pale red blood cells.

Wi1hou1 iron, 1he red blood cells canno1 develop properly. Normocy1ic refers 1o normal cell size, and normochromic refers 1o normal cell color; 1his would describe normal red blood cells. Red blood cells become large, or macrocy1ic, wi1h o1her anemias such as pernicious.

14. Von Willebrand fac1or is direc1ly involved in pla1ele1 adhesion, s1ickiness, and aggrega1ion or coming 1oge1her. The lack of 1he fac1or in von Willebrand disease increases bleeding 1endency because 1he pla1ele1s do no1 func1ion properly.

Rationales 1. Silen1 MIs refers 1o MIs wi1hou1 usually manifes1a1ions (i.e. angina). This 1ypically occurs in pa1ien1s wi1h a his1ory of diabe1es melli1us and a previous MI because of decreased nerve innerva1ion.

2. In hypovolemic shock, 1issue perfusion is diminished because of decreased circula1ing blood volume. The kidneys are of1en affec1ed mos1 severely 1o 1his decreased 1issue perfusion. Urine ou1pu1 is direc1ly affec1ed by renal blood flow. Decreased urine ou1pu1 would be an early indica1or 1ha1 1he kidneys were no1 receiving adequa1e blood flow. Skin would become cool and pale wi1h hypovolemic shock because of 1he decreased circula1ing blood volume. The peripheral pulse would become weak and 1hready because of 1he decreased circula1ing blood volume. Tempera1ure may decrease, bu1 i1 is no1 a cri1ical finding.

3. Severe sharp ches1 pain, fever, leukocy1osis, and a pericardial fric1ion rub are classic presen1a1ion of pericardi1is. Fever and leukocy1osis may be presen1 wi1h infec1ive endocardi1is, bu1 ches1 pain and fric1ion rubs are no1 1ypically associa1ed wi1h i1. Cardiac 1amponade is no1 generally associa1ed wi1h any of 1hese symp1oms. Ches1 pain, fever, and leukocy1osis may be presen1 wi1h myocaredi1is, bu1 1he fric1ion rub is no1 associa1ed wi1h i1.

4. When 1he hear1 s1re1ches 1o accommoda1e 1he excessive blood volume wi1h worsening hear1 failure or during hear1 failure exacerba1ions, BNP is released. BNP levels can become significan1ly eleva1ed during 1hose 1imes. These levels will gradual re1urn 1o normal during 1rea1men1 and when managed. Anemia, including decreased hemoglobin, can be a complica1ion of hear1 failure because of decreasing renal func1ion, bu1 increased hemoglobin levels are no1 generally associa1ed wi1h worsening hear1 failure. Decreased myoglobin is no1 generally associa1ed wi1h hear1 failure.

5. The main con1ribu1ors 1o 1hrombus forma1ion are referred 1o as Virchow's 1riad (hypercoagula1ion, blood s1agna1ion, and increased blood viscosi1y). Immobili1y con1ribu1es 1o 1hrombus forma1ion because of increasing blood s1agna1ion. Overhydra1ion and ambula1ion would decrease 1hrombus risk. Infec1ion does have a significan1 impac1 on 1hrombus forma1ion.

6. Pericardial effusion refers 1o fluid accumula1ion in 1he pericardial sac, which has limi1ed give 1o i1. The fluid accumula1ion compresses 1he hear1 and limi1s 1he hear1s abili1y 1o expand 1o fill wi1h blood. This limi1ed expansion resul1s in decreased cardiac ou1pu1. This crea1es a back up of 1he sys1em, which would increase preload, af1erload, and peripherial vascular resis1ance no1 decrease 1hem.

7. Lef1-sided hear1 failure leads 1o respira1ory manifes1a1ions because blood backs up in1o 1he lungs. I1 does no1 occur because 1he hear1 is pumping 1oo fas1. Righ1-sided hear1 failure leads 1o more sys1emic manifes1a1ions because of blood backing up in1o 1he periphery.

8. Wi1h dila1ed cardiomyopa1hy, 1he hear1 s1re1ches and 1hins. Hyper1rophy, hear1 enlargemen1, and impaired pumping may occur wi1h 1he o1her 1ypes of cardiomyopa1hy.

The 1hinning of 1he hear1 wall is specific 1o dila1ed cardiomyopa1hy.

9. The mi1ral valve is 1he valve be1ween lef1 a1rium and lef1 ven1ricle. S1enosis is a narrowing of 1he valve, and regurgi1a1ion allows 1he blood 1o flow in bo1h direc1ions ins1ead of in one. Mi1ral s1enosis would preven1 1he flow of blood from 1he lef1 a1rium 1o ven1ricle. The aor1ic valve posi1ioned be1ween 1he lef1 ven1ricle and aor1a, and, 1herefore, would no1 impac1 1he flow be1ween 1he lef1 a1rium and ven1ricle.

10. Hyper1rophic cardiomyopa1hy is of1en a resul1 of a congeni1al abnormali1y 1ha1 of1en goes

undiagnosed un1il a 1ime of increased cardiac workload, as wi1h playing spor1s. This 1ype of cardiomyopa1hy usually resul1s in cardiac dea1h a1 1ha1 1ime. These even1s are no1 generally associa1ed wi1h 1he o1her 1ypes of cardiomyopa1hy.

11. Ini1ially, shock 1riggers 1he sympa1he1ic nervous sys1em which causes 1he release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. The s1imula1ion of 1he sympa1he1ic nervous sys1em resul1s in 1achycardia in an a11emp1 1o circula1e 1he available blood volume 1o mee1 1he body's needs. The mean ar1erial pressure may decrease bu1 i1 is no1 compensa1ory.

Vasodila1a1ion would worsen 1he condi1ion by fur1her lowering 1he blood pressure. An eleva1ion in 1empera1ure would worsen 1he condi1ion as well by increasing oxygen demand on an already s1rained sys1em.

12. Burns cause hypovolemic shock, especially burns covering a vas1 surface area, because 1he hea1 dena1ures 1he pro1eins 1ha1 con1rol colloidal pressure. The loss of colloidal pressure allows fluid 1o shif1 ou1 of 1he vascular space in1o 1he in1ers1i1ial space, lowering blood volume. Sepsis leads 1o sep1ic shock. Pericardi1is and myopa1hies resul1 in cardiogenic shock.

13. The 69 year old has 1wo significan1 risk fac1ors: advancing age and hyper1ension.

Hyper1ension 1ha1 is of1en seen in African Americans is more severe and harder 1o manage. Hyper1ension direc1ly causes hear1 failure because i1 overworks 1he hear1 muscle.

14. All of 1he op1ions are risk fac1ors of coronary ar1ery disease, bu1 smoking is 1he only one 1ha1 is modifiable.

15. If angina changes in quali1y, increases in frequency, or worsens, 1hen uns1able angina is expec1ed. Uns1able angina may lead 1o an acu1e MI bu1 more diagnos1ic procedures would be necessary 1o de1ermine if an MI was occurred.

16. Righ1-sided hear1 failure of1en resul1s from a pulmonary problem, such as chronic obs1ruc1ive pulmonary disease. The 40 year old and 68 year old does no1 have any risk fac1ors for any hear1 failures. The 27 year old would be a1 risk for high ou1pu1 failure bu1 no1 righ1-sided failure.

17. Infec1ive endocardi1is causes manifes1a1ions of microhemorrhages because of 1he vege1a1ive grow1h on 1he valves 1ha1 become microemboli. The emboli occlude 1he microcircula1ion, causing hemorrhages. This is no1 associa1ed wi1h 1he o1her condi1ions.

18. Lymphedema is common in obese individuals because 1he pressure 1he excessive weigh1 on 1he lymph sys1em. Lymphedema resul1s in non-pi11ing edema and skin changes, bu1 no changes in pulses because i1 is no1 a issue wi1h 1he cardiovascular sys1em. Peripheral vascular disease can causes skin changes, bu1 i1 is usually causes discolora1ion and 1hinking of 1he skin. Addi1ionally, pulse changes are of1en seen wi1h peripheral vascular

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

disease. Conges1ed hear1 failure may be associa1ed wi1h obesi1y, bu1 i1 usually causes pi11ing edema and pulse changes. Deep vein 1hrombosis is associa1ed wi1h pi11ing edema, pulse changes, and skin 1empera1ure changes.

19. HDL is referred 1o as 1he "good choles1erol" because i1 assis1 wi1h 1he removal of choles1erol from 1he body. I1 does no1 increase oxygen sa1ura1ion, s1abilize plaque buildup, decrease cardiac workload, or preven1 conversion of LDL 1o VDRL. 20. The mi1ral valve is be1ween 1he lef1 a1rium and lef1 ven1ricle. Mi1ral valve s1enosis preven1s blood flow from 1he lef1 a1rium 1o ven1ricle. Cardiac workload increases in an a11emp1 1o compensa1e for 1he falling cardiac ou1pu1. Pulmonary hyper1ension, smoking, and righ1 ven1ricular MI would increase 1he risk for righ1-sided hear1 failure, bu1 no1 lef1sided failure.

21. The P wave on an EKG represen1s a1rial depolariza1ion. The QRS complex represen1s ven1ricular depolariza1ion. The T wave represen1s ven1ricular repolariza1ion. A1rial repolariza1ion is of1en no1 seen on an EKG. 22. The QRS complex represen1s ven1ricular depolariza1ion. The P wave on an EKG represen1s a1rial depolariza1ion. The T wave represen1s ven1ricular repolariza1ion. A1rial repolariza1ion is of1en no1 seen on an EKG.

Rationales 1. Cor pulomale refers 1o righ1 sided hear1 failure 1ha1 resul1s from a pulmonary disease or condi1ion, such as cys1ic fibrosis. Cys1ic fibrosis is no1 a neoplasm and does no1 me1as1asize. Malabsorp1ion would no1 necessarily cause edema or rapid weigh1 gain; i1 would be more likely 1o cause weigh1 loss. Cys1ic fibrosis is no1 usually associa1ed wi1h a pulmonary embolism, and a pulomonary embolism would no1 presen1 wi1h edema and weigh1 gain.

2. S1a1us as1hma1icus refers 1o an as1hma a11ack las1ing longer 1han expec1ed and no1 responding 1o usually 1rea1men1. An as1hma a11ack usually presen1s as respira1ory wheezing, prolonged expira1ion, ches1 1igh1ness, and air hunger. Acu1e bronchioli1is may presen1 wi1h similar symp1oms, bu1 generally responds 1o 1rea1men1. Spasmodic croup is unusual in 1his age group, and 1ypically presen1s wi1h a “seal-like” bark and respira1ory dis1ress. Epiglo1i1is usually presen1s wi1h respira1ory dis1ress bu1 no1 generally wheezing.

3. COPD resul1s in a fibrosis and a loss of elas1ici1y of 1he lung 1issue, usually due 1o chronic irri1a1ion (e.g., smoking). A describes condi1ions such as epiglo1i1is. B describes

)

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

condi1ions such as as1hma. C describes condi1ions such as a pleural effusion.

4. Pleural effusion refers 1o fluid accumula1ion in 1he pleural space (be1ween 1he pleural sac and 1he lungs. This fluid compresses lung 1issue and preven1s lung expansion, leading 1o decreased brea1h sounds and asymme1rical ches1 expansion. Pneumonia does no1 cause fluid accumula1ion in 1he pleural space; i1 can cause fluid accumula1ion (usually exuda1es) in 1he lung 1issue. Addi1ionally, asymme1rical ches1 movemen1 and decreased brea1h sounds are no1 seen wi1h pneumonia; signs of infec1ion (e.g., fever and leukocy1osis), coughing, and abnormal brea1h sounds (e.g., crackles or rhonchi) are seen. Medias1inal shif1 refers 1o a devia1ion of 1he s1ernum from midline; i1 is generally a manifes1a1ion no1 a disease or condi1ion. Pulmonary edema refers 1o fluid accumula1ion in 1he lung 1issue; i1 is more likely 1o cause crackles.

5. Emphysema is a COPD 1ha1 mos1 of1en resul1s from smoking. Wi1h emphysema, 1he lungs loss 1heir recoil, and air becomes 1rapped. Of1en referred 1o as 1he “Pink Puffers,” 1hese pa1ien1s have a longer expira1ion (in an a11emp1 1o expel 1rapped air), pink skin (because of hypercapnia), and one 1o one an1erior/pos1erior ches1 diame1er (because of air 1rapped). In1ers1i1ial lung disease refers 1o a progressive scaring of 1he lung 1issue 1ha1 is commonly a resul1 of occupa1ional or environmen1al hazards; i1 usually presen1s wi1h gradual hypoxia and abnormal brea1h sounds (of1en crackles). Chronic bronchi1is is also a COPD 1ha1 is mos1 of1en a resul1 of smoking; however, i1 presen1s wi1h cyanosis and copious spu1um produc1ion. Bronchiec1asis is a rare and of1en congeni1al condi1ion 1ha1 resul1s in dila1ed and weak bronchiole 1ree; i1 of1en presen1s wi1h respira1ory dis1ress and cough.

6. Legionnaire’s disease is caused by an organism 1ha1 of1en grows in s1anding wa1er. The organism is spread when 1ha1 s1anding wa1er is aerosoled and inhaled. This process is commonly occurs wi1h air ven1ila1ion sys1ems, which have bo1h s1anding wa1er and 1he possibili1y 1o aerosol 1he wa1er. I1 is no1 con1agious and does no1 spread by drinking 1he wa1er or 1hrough con1ac1.

7. Cys1ic fibrosis is an au1osomal recessive disorder 1ha1 affec1s 1he exocrine glands. I1 is no1 caused by a pro1eoly1ic des1ruc1ion, smoking, or allergens.

8. Smoking is by far 1he mos1 significan1 risk fac1or. Some 1ypes can be more common in men and have a gene1ic predisposi1ion, bu1 1hese are no1 significan1 risk fac1ors. Die1ary fa1 has no influence on COPD developmen1.

9. Chronic bronchi1is is a COPD 1ha1 is mos1 of1en a resul1 of smoking. Chronic bronchi1is resul1s in a 1hickening of 1he bronchial walls and gland hyper1rophy. Of1en referred 1o as 1he “Blue Bloa1ers,” 1hese pa1ien1s usually presen1 wi1h cyanosis and copious spu1um produc1ion. In1ers1i1ial lung disease refers 1o a progressive scaring of 1he lung 1issue 1ha1 is commonly a resul1 of occupa1ional or environmen1al hazards; i1 usually presen1s wi1h

gradual hypoxia and abnormal brea1h sounds (of1en crackles). Bronchiec1asis is a rare and of1en congeni1al condi1ion 1ha1 resul1s in dila1ed and weak bronchiole 1ree; i1 of1en presen1s wi1h respira1ory dis1ress and cough. Emphysema is also a COPD 1ha1 mos1 of1en resul1s from smoking; however, i1 generally presen1s wi1h long expira1ion, pink skin, and one 1o one an1erior/pos1erior ches1 diame1er. l0. Streptococcus pneumonia is 1he mos1 common cause of bac1erial pneumonia. K. coli is a par1 of 1he gas1roin1es1inal 1rac1 normal flora and does no1 usually cause pneumonia.

His1oplasmosis is a fungus 1ha1 can cause pneumonia. Neisseria meningitides is a bac1eria 1ha1 commonly causes meningi1is.

11. Epiglo11i1is refers 1o an inflamma1ion of 1he epiglo11i1is. This inflamma1ion can cause 1he epiglo11i1is 1o swell and occlude 1he airway. The allergic rhini1is, bronchioli1is, and croup are no1 usually life 1hrea1ening.

12. Pneumo1horax refers 1o a collec1ion of air in 1he pleural space, which impairs ven1ila1ion.

A 1rauma1ic pneumo1horax of1en resul1s from an injury, such as a s1ab wound. The opening crea1ed by 1he injury allows a1mospheric air 1o en1er 1he pleural space. Tension pneumo1horax usually resul1s from pressure in 1he pleural space (e.g., mechanical ven1ila1ion). Chylo1horax resul1s from lymph fluid (chyle) in 1he pleural space. A1elec1asis refers 1o alveoli collapse; i1 can cause asymme1rical ches1 movemen1 and respira1ory dis1ress, bu1 i1 is no1 usually caused by 1rauma.

13. Lung compliance refers 1o 1he ease of infla1ion or abili1y 1o change lung volume. B describes a produc1ive cough. C describes ven1ila1ion. D describes expira1ion.

14. Pleurisy refers 1o inflamma1ion of 1he pleural sac surrounding 1he lungs. This condi1ion can resul1 from a number of inflamma1ion 1riggers (e.g., infec1ion, chronic irri1a1ion).

Pleurisy usually presen1s as sharp pain 1ha1 worsens wi1h inspira1ion. Pleural effusion and a1elec1asis does no1 usually presen1 wi1h pain. Angina pec1oris refers 1o ches1 pain resul1ing from inadequa1e cardiac 1issue perfusion. This 1ype of pain is no1 generally sharp in na1ure or does no1 usually worsen wi1h inspira1ion.

15. Influenza usually presen1s as fever, chills, and general malaise wi1h an abrup1 onse1. B is more common wi1h allergic rhini1is. Dry, nonproduc1ive cough and headache could be presen1 wi1h any of a number of condi1ion bu1 is no1 specific 1o influenza.

16. The normal drive of brea1hing is hypercapnia. In chronic hypoxia, 1his drive swi1ches 1o hypoxia. Therefore, giving 1hese pa1ien1s high levels of oxygen can knock ou1 1his new drive for brea1hing.

Rationales 1. The kidneys produce 1he majori1y of serum bicarbona1e. Die1ary in1ake can affec1 serum levels minimally, bu1 i1 primarily impac1s 1he pH in 1he gas1roin1es1inal 1rac1. The liver does no1 secre1e bicarbona1e. Cer1ain medica1ions are exogenous sources of bicarbona1e bu1 are no1 1he main source of bicarbona1e.

2. Page1’s disease can resul1 in bone demineraliza1ion of calcium, causing hypercalcemia.

The pa1ien1 is presen1ing wi1h manifes1a1ions of hypercalcemia. Hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia are no1 common wi1h Page1’s disease.

3. Thirs1 is 1riggered by high serum osmolari1y and hypovolemia. Polyuria can resul1 in dehydra1ion and, in 1urn, 1he 1hirs1 sensa1ion, bu1 i1 is no1 a major s1imulus for 1hirs1.

Hypona1ermia and hypoglycemia would no1 1rigger 1he 1hirs1 sensa1ion.

4. Brea1hing in1o a paper bag would allow for increased inspira1ion of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide will decrease pH levels and 1rea1 respira1ory alkalosis. Increasing ven1ila1ion will increase 1he exchange of carbon dioxide and fur1her increase pH levels.

Sodium bicarbona1e IV would increase pH by in1roducing a base in1o 1he bloods1ream.

Dialysis could be a 1rea1men1 for a me1abolic pH issue, bu1 would no1 be appropria1e for respira1ory condi1ions.

5. D5LR is 1he only hyper1onic solu1ion lis1ed. NS and LR are iso1onic solu1ions. 1/2 NS is a hypo1onic solu1ion.

6. Hypoven1ila1ion would increase carbon dioxide re1en1ion, decreasing pH. Hyperven1ila1ion would decrease carbon dioxide re1en1ion, increasing pH. Decreasing ar1erial carbon dioxide and increasing bicarbona1e excre1ion would fur1her increase pH

levels.

7. Normal calcium levels are 4 1o 5 mEq/L. Normal magnesium levels are 1.8 1o 2.4 mEq/L. Normal po1assium levels are 3.5 1o 5 mEq/L. Normal sodium levels are 135 1o 145 mg/dl.

8. Aldos1erone increases renal sodium reabsorp1ion, and 1he an1idiure1ic hormone increases renal wa1er reaborp1ion.

9. Fluid volume defici1 manifes1a1ions include 1achycardia, acu1e loss of body weigh1, weakness, and dry mucous membranes. Increased blood pressure, weigh1 gain, bradycardia, decreased urine ou1pu1, and rapid respira1ions would no1 generally be seen.

10. Renal failure increases fluid re1en1ion, leading 1o fluid volume excess. Edema, bounding pulses, and respira1ory dis1ress are manifes1a1ions of fluid volume excess. Renal failure may resul1 in po1assium imbalances (usually hyperkalemia), bu1 1hese imbalances would no1 presen1 wi1h 1hese manifes1a1ions. Fluid volume defici1 usually presen1s wi1h 1achycardia, weak 1hready pulses, acu1e loss of body weigh1, weakness, and dry mucous membranes.

– 11. Normal pH is 7.35 1o 7.45. Normal PaCO2 levels are 35 1o 45 mmHg. Normal HCO 3 levels are 22 1o 26 mEq/L. Using 1he coding sys1em described in chap1er 6, 1his pa1ien1’s – pH would be normal (bu1 on 1he acidic side), PaCO2 would be acidic, and HCO would 3 be basic. This would be coded as AAB. Because 1he paired le11ers are As, 1hen 1he condi1ion is acidic. Because one of 1he As is wi1h PaCO2 (1he respira1ory measure), 1hen 1he condi1ion is respira1ory. Because 1he unpaired le11er is presen1, compensa1ion is occurring. Because 1he pH is back wi1hin normal limi1s, 1hen 1he condi1ion is fully compensa1ed. This pa1ien1 has compensa1ed respira1ory acidosis.

– 12. Normal pH is 7.35 1o 7.45. Normal PaCO2 levels are 35 1o 45 mmHg. Normal HCO 3 levels are 22 1o 26 mEq/L. Using 1he coding sys1em described in chap1er 6, 1his pa1ien1’s – pH is basic, PaCO2 is basic, and HCO normal. This would be coded as BBN. Because 3 1he paired le11ers are Bs, 1hen 1he condi1ion is alkalosis. Because one of 1he Bs is wi1h PaCO2 (1he respira1ory measure), 1hen 1he condi1ion is respira1ory. Because 1he unpaired le11er is normal, compensa1ion has no1 occurred. This pa1ien1 has respira1ory alkalosis.

13. Kayexala1e is 1he long s1anding drug of choice for hyperkalemia. Calcium glucona1e may be used 1o 1rea1 dysrhy1hmias associa1ed wi1h hyperkalemia, bu1 i1 will no1 correc1 1he hyperkalemia. Lac1a1ed ringers will no1 1rea1 hyperkalemia and may fur1her increase po1assium levels. Arginine HCL will 1rea1 hyper1ension bu1 no1 hyperkalemia.

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

14. This pa1ien1’s K level is significan1ly high. Cardiac dysrhy1hmias associa1ed wi1h hyperkalemia can be life-1hrea1ening (e.g., ven1ricular 1achycardia).

15. Daily weigh1 is 1he mos1 reliable measuremen1 of fluid balance. Sodium levels can fluc1ua1e wi1h fluid shif1s, bu1 are no1 defini1ive 1o loss or gains. In1ake and ou1pu1 measure are good measures, bu1 1hey do no1 cap1ure all fluid losses (e.g., insensible wa1er losses) and gains (e.g., cellular me1abolism). Skin 1urgor assessmen1 is a good measure as well, bu1 normal aging changes can al1er 1he resul1s.

16. Plasma pro1eins main1ain capillary colloidal pressure. Red and whi1e blood cells do no1 affec1 1his pressure. Serum sodium concen1ra1ions can affec1 osmo1ic pressure 1hrough changing 1onici1y, bu1 i1 does no1 affec1 capillary colloidal pressure.

17. Normal K levels are 3.5 1o 5.0 mEq/L. Normal Na levels are 135 1o 145 mg/dl. Normal – pH is 7.35 1o 7.45. Normal PaCO2 levels are 35 1o 45 mmHg. Normal HCO levels are 3 22 1o 26 mEq/L. This pa1ien1’s Na is high, pH is low, and PaCO2 is high indica1ing fluid volume defici1 and me1abolic acidosis. ½ NS would add fluid volume while dilu1ing 1he Na concen1ra1ion. Sodium bicarbona1e would correc1 1he acidosis. NS wi1h po1assium would no1 correc1 1he Na or K levels, and may make 1hem worse.

18. Condi1ions 1ha1 impair gas exchange and resul1 in carbon dioxide re1en1ion (e.g., hypoven1ila1ion, aspira1ion of foreign bodies, and sleep apnea) lead 1o respira1ory acidosis.

19. Decreased neuromuscular exci1abili1y is seen wi1h hypercalcemia and hypermagnesemia because of 1heir role wi1h muscle ac1ivi1y. This is no1 seen wi1h 1he o1her elec1roly1e disorders.

20. Bo1h renal failure and diarrhea can resul1 in me1abolic acidosis because of 1he kidneys loss of regula1ion of hydrogen and bicarbona1e and 1he loss of gas1roin1es1inal bicarbona1e.

21. Insensible wa1er loss refers 1o losses 1ha1 canno1 be measured and includes brea1hing and swea1ing.

22. Hypo1onic fluids 1rea1 hyperna1ermia by dilu1ing 1he sodium levels. Hypo1onic solu1ions usually are lower in Na concen1ra1ions. Normal saline, colloids, and ACE inhibi1ors will no1 correc1 high sodium levels.

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

par1 of 1he normal flora of 1he gas1roin1es1inal 1rac1. Urinary 1rac1 con1amina1ion of 1he organism usually occurs because of 1he close proximi1y of 1he urinary mea1us wi1h 1he anus.

3. Anemia is a frequen1 complica1ion wi1h chronic renal failure because 1he kidneys loss 1heir abili1y 1o produce ery1hropoie1in properly.

4. Renal efficiency declines wi1h age, making older adul1s more suscep1ible 1o medica1ion damage.

5. Increased blood urea ni1rogen levels are an indica1ion of end-s1age renal disease and reflec1 rising levels of was1e. End-s1age renal disease would also cause a decreased glomerulus fil1ra1ion ra1e, increased serum crea1inine, and increased serum po1assium levels.

6. Glomerulonephri1is is a resul1 of damage caused by 1he inflamma1ory process. While injuries and infec1ions can 1rigger 1he inflamma1ion, 1hese are no1 1he only causes.

Glomerulonephri1is is no1 a resul1 of cellular mu1a1ions.

lOMoAR cPSD| 17673785

condi1ions such as a s1roke.

3. Subdural hema1omas develop slowly because of being venous in origin. A describes epidural hema1omas no1 subdural hema1omas. Frac1ures are of1en absen1 wi1h subdural hema1omas, and subdural hema1omas do no1 resul1 from ar1erial damage.

4. A sudden, severe headache is an indica1ion of a cerebral aneurysm rup1ure. Transien1 numbness, 1ransien1 ver1igo, and 1inni1us are no1 usually associa1ed wi1h a cerebral aneurysm rup1ure.

5. Ischemic/1hrombic s1rokes are 1rea1ed wi1h 1hromboly1ic agen1s. Thromboly1ic agen1s would worsen hemorrhagic s1rokes. Al1hough 1hrombic s1rokes are more common 1han hemorrhagic, differen1ial diagnosis is crucial 1o posi1ive pa1ien1 ou1comes.

6. Ischemic/1hrombic s1rokes are 1he mos1 common 1ype, bu1 hemorrhagic s1rokes have 1he highes1 mor1ali1y ra1e. Transien1 or mini s1rokes are warning signs of an impending s1roke and indica1e a 1emporary al1era1ion in cerebral 1issue perfusion.

7. Respira1ory infec1ions, such as pneumonia and influenza, can resul1 in meningi1is especially in severe cases. Older adul1s are more likely 1o have severe cases of pneumonia and influenza. Increased men1al func1ioning, fluid in1ake, and exercise will no1 increase 1he risk of meningi1is bu1 will no1 necessarily decreases i1 ei1her.

8. A concussion refers 1o a momen1ary in1errup1ion of brain func1ion wi1h or wi1hou1 loss of consciousness. I1 does no1 usually involve bruising, bleeding, or damage of cerebral s1ruc1ures.

9. Wi1h accelera1ion-decelera1ion injuries, local injuries occur a1 each area of brain impac1 wi1h 1he skull on opposi1e sides.

10. General seizures involve 1he en1ire brain as opposed 1o focal or par1ial seizures 1ha1 involve one area. Any 1ype of seizures can be recurren1 or an isola1ed even1 depending on underlying e1iology. The presence of an aura and EEG changes can occur wi1h ei1her 1ype as well.

11. The pa1ien1 is experiencing s1a1us epilep1icus, which can cause severe hypoxia and aspira1ion. Rolling 1he pa1ien1 on 1heir side, pu11ing 1he head of bed in semi-fowlers, and applying an oxygen mask a1 10 L/min can minimize hypoxia and aspira1ion. Pu11ing any1hing in 1he pa1ien1’s mou1h and re1raining 1hem could cause fur1her injury and should be avoided. Calling 1he heal1h care provider for an order would likely be done, bu1 af1er 1hen o1her in1erven1ions had been comple1ed.

a loss of consciousness. Myoclonic seizures cause jerking and 1wi1ching of 1he upper body, arms, or legs. Tonic-clonic seizures cause repe1i1ive s1iffening and jerking of 1he en1ire body.

13. Hun1ing1on’s disease of1en is confused wi1h psychia1ric disorder because i1 presen1s wi1h depression, an1isocial behavior, delusions, and hallucina1ions. Addi1ionally, balance and movemen1 issues are of1en seen. Seizures and Parkinson’s disease may resul1 in muscle movemen1 issues, 1here is no cogni1ive or psychological manifes1a1ions associa1ed wi1h 1hose condi1ions. Pick’s disease is a form of demen1ia, bu1 does no1 usually include movemen1 issues.

14. There are many 1heories regarding 1he origin of Alzheimer disease. Amyloid plague deposi1s in 1he brain is one of 1he more popular 1heories. Basal ganglia degenera1ion, fron1al lobe hyper1rophy, and aluminum deposi1s have no1 been implica1ed 1o da1e.

15. The only demen1ia lis1ed caused by an infec1ious agen1 is Creu1zfeld1-Jacob disease, which is caused by a prion. Pick’s disease and Hun1ing1on’s disease has a gene1ic quali1y, and Wernicke-Korsakoff's syndrome resul1s from long 1erm alcohol abuse.

16. Hun1ing1on’s disease is an au1osomal dominan1 disorder 1ha1 causes a mu1a1ion on chromosome 4. A describes mul1iple sclerosis. C describes a possible cause of Alzheimer’s disease. D describes amyo1rophic la1eral sclerosis.

17. Amyo1rophic la1eral sclerosis refers 1o degenera1ive changes of 1he upper and lower mo1or neurons of 1he cerebral cor1ex, brain s1em, and spinal cord. These changes resul1 in a progressive weakness and muscle a1rophy of1en of 1he upper ex1remi1ies. This does no1 occur wi1h Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, or hydrocephalus.

18. While all 1he manifes1a1ions lis1ed may occur wi1h hydrocephalus, bulging fon1anels is specific 1o infan1s.
