ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS)||NEWEST EXAM!!!
A child possesses a trait that is the result of the interaction
of two different genes, neither of which could have
produced the trait independently. Which of the following
explanations best captures the genetic explanation for
this? - Answer-The outcome is the result of the interaction
between collaborative genes.
A 55-year-old man has made an appointment to see his
nurse practitioner because he has been awakening three
to four times nightly to void and often has a sudden need
to void with little warning during the day. What is the man's
most likely diagnosis and possible underlying
pathophysiologic problem? - Answer-Overactive bladder
that may result from both neurogenic and myogenic
sources
Which of the following individuals would be considered to
be at risk for the development of edema? - Answer-An 81-
year-old man with right-sided heart failure and
hypothyroidism

The family of a 68-year-old man who is in the end stages
of small cell lung cancer is distraught at his visible body
wasting that has worsened in recent weeks. Which of the
following phenomena best accounts for the patient's
anorexia and cachexia? - Answer-Products of the tumor
itself as well as a hypermetabolic state cause cachexia
Which of the following statements best conveys an aspect
of the respiratory pressures that govern ventilation?
Question options: - Answer-Negative intrapleural pressure
holds the lungs against the chest wall
Increased thrombopoietin levels - Answer-Following a
course of measles, a 5-year-old girl developed scattered
bruising over numerous body surfaces and was diagnosed
with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). As part of
her diagnostic workup, blood work was performed. Which
of the following results is most likely to be considered
unexpected by the health care team?
Which of the following situations related to the transition
from fetal to perinatal circulation would be most likely to
necessitate medical intervention? - Answer-Pulmonary
vascular resistance, related to muscle regression in the
,3|Page
pulmonary arteries, rises over the course of the infant's
first week.
At which of the following locations in the nephron would a
nurse practitioner first expect blood to be largely free of
plasma proteins? - Answer-Bowman Space
As a result of dehydration, a patient's epithelial cells are
producing insufficient amounts of mucus. Consequently,
the patient's mucociliary blanket is compromised. Which of
the following changes would a care provider most
reasonably anticipate as a direct result of this change? -
Answer-Increased amounts of bacteria in the lungs. The
primary role of the mucociliary blanket is to trap foreign
particles and bacteria and thus prevent their entry into the
lungs. The impaired ciliary function may result in an
inadequate mucociliary blanket, but the opposite
relationship is unlikely. Decreased oxygen and increased
carbon dioxide levels may eventually result, but not as a
direct or immediate consequence.
An 81-year-old female patient of a long-term care facility
has a history of congestive heart failure. The nurse
, 4|Page
practitioner caring for the patient has positioned her sitting
up at an angle in bed and is observing her jugular venous
distention. Why is jugular venous distention a useful
indicator for the assessment of the patient's condition? -
Answer-Blood backs up into the jugular vein because
there are no valves at the point of entry into the heart.
Bacterial - Answer-Sputum samples from a patient with
pneumonia contain an infective agent that has a
peptidoglycan cell wall, expresses endotoxins, replicates
readily in broth and on agar, grows in clusters, has pili,
and does not stain when exposed to crystal violet. This
pneumonia is most likely:
A 45-year-old patient who experienced exposure to
radiation during an industrial accident several years prior
is being assessed. Which of the following phenomena may
underlie the genetic changes that have been noted in the
patient? - Answer-Base pairs may have been rearranged
by the radiation exposure.
Splenomegaly and hepatomegaly - Answer-A child has
been diagnosed with thalassemia. Which of the following
other health problems is the child at risk for?
