GUARANTEED PASS!!
21st Trisomy
- answer-Down Syndrome
Ace Inhibiters (ACEI) *pril
- answer-reduce angiotensin II, increase bradykinin, hyperkalemia, dry cough,
angioedema; contraindicated in pregnancy (fetal death), first dose causes severe
hypotension, can cause renal failure
Alpha Thalassemia
- answer-inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
Alternatives to gabapentin for neuropathic pain
- answer-Cymbalta (duloxetine) and Lyrica (pregabalin)
Amoxicillin
- answer-first line of treatment for uncomplicated otitis media in pediatric patient
without comorbidities
Angiotensin II
- answer-vasocontraction; increased bp by acting on adrenal cortex secreting
aldosterone
Anticoagulants
- answer-Warfarin, heparin, lovenox; Caution about hemorrhage, any patients with
risks for bleeding
Antiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBS)
- answer-Sartan; blocks action of angiotensin II, second choice if cannot tolerate
ACE for htn and HF
Appropriate antibiotic for use in pregnancy for treatment of UTI
- answer-one time dose of Fosfomycin, cephalexin also appropriate.
AVOID: nitrofurantoin ad bactrim. DO NOT USE: PCN
,asthma
- answer-chronic inflammatory obstruction of bronchi; trigger causing mucus
clogging bronchial tubes; is reversable, give beta antagonists and steroids
At Risk for HF - Stage A
- answer-no structural heart disease or symptoms of heart failure
At Risk for HF - Stage B
- answer-structural heart disease but no symptoms of heart failure
Ataxia in pediatric patient
- answer-genetic predisposition, Fragile X syndrome, Prader-Willie Syndrome
Autosomal Dominant
- answer-1 parent has, 50% change of child having
Autosomal Recessive
- answer-Both parents are carriers, 25% change of child having, 50% chance child
is a carrier.
B&T lymphocytes
- answer-immune response
Back pain treatment
- answer-first 4-6 weeks no imaging needed unless neurologic involved; give
NSAIDS and rest, is the #1/2 reason for visits to PCP
Beta Blockers
- answer-prevent chemical messengers; slow HR, relax vessels, lower BP, Class II
antidysrhythmic drug
Beta Thallasemia
- answer-low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous sulfate
BNP
- answer-gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF
broken heart syndrome
- answer-mimics MI, no coronary obstruction
, Bronchitis
- answer-excess mucus production, smooth muscle hypertrophy
Bronchodilators (Beta 2-Adrenergic Agonists)
- answer-provide symptomatic relief, do not effect inflammation of disease
process; taken PRN during attack (Albuterol), long actinb Beta2 can be used in
combo with glucocorticoids
Buspirone
- answer-treats anxiety, not a benzo
Calcium Channel Blockers
- answer-vasodilation of arterioles and heart, class IV antidysrhythmic drug
Cardiac glycosides (Digoxin)
- answer-Increased myocardial contractile force (increases output), used in ED,
exerts positive inotropic action, can cause severe dysrhythmias
Cardio selective beta blockers
- answer-metoprolol - only beta-1 receptors affected
Cervical cancer screening
- answer-21 - 64 cytology every 3 years, 30-64 cytology and HPV every 5 years
CHF
- answer-heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
Chlorpromazine
- answer-treats schizophrenia
Color blindness genetic component
- answer-x-linked, only comes from mother, 50% chance; gene: OPN1MW on
chromosome 23
Crohn's Disease
- answer-a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that can occur anywhere in
the digestive tract; however, it is most often found in the ileum and in the colon;
has skip lesions
