You have a patient with AIDS. You recognize that a low CD4 T-cell count puts the
patient at risk for opportunistic infections. You are reviewing his lab reports and see
that his CD4 T-cell count is indeed low. Which of the following is the normal range for
CD4 T-cell count?
800 -1400
700 -1400
400 - 1000
600 -1200 - correct answer Correct answer:
600 -1200
,The normal CD4 T-cell count is 600 - 1200. A low CD4 T-cell count is below 600. The
destruction of the CD4 T-cell causes depletion in the number of CD4 T-cells and
consequently increases the risk of infection. This puts the patient at risk for infection.
You have an adult patient with diabetes whose blood pressure is 145/95 mm Hg. Which
stage of hypertension does this indicate?
normal
pre-hypertension
Stage I
Stage II - correct answer Correct Answer:
Stage I
,Stage I hypertension is characterized by a systolic pressure of 140 - 159 mm Hg and a
diastolic pressure of 90 - 99 mm Hg. The treatment recommendation for this stage is
usually a thiazide diuretic and for those with diabetes, either ACE inhibitors or ARBs,
because of their renal protective properties.
Clinical findings that are characteristic of asthma include all of the following EXCEPT:
wheezing with and without associated respiratory infections

a recurrent spasmodic cough that is worse at night - correct answer The Correct
answer is:
a congested cough worse during the day
, Choice B is the right answer. The asthmatic patient complains of a cough that is worse
at night and has little congestion or sputum production. There is a history of wheezing
and chest tightness, shortness of breath with exercise, and symptoms that worsen
after airborne allergen exposure.
Which of the following is an example of objective data used for diagnosis?
Patient reports being more tired than usual.
Patient reports having difficulty breathing.
Patient reports productive cough.
Patient's cough produces yellow sputum. - correct answer Correct Answer: Patient's
cough produces yellow sputum Objective data must be measurable and verifiable. It is
key to collect both objective and subjective data to form correct differential diagnoses
and then to determine the correct diagnosis and course of further testing or treatment
