A patient with visual changes that begin in one eye then progress to the second eye is likely
experiencing:
A. pituitary infarct.
B. ACTH insufficiency.
C. Growth hormone (GH) insufficiency.
D. pituitary adenoma. - Answer>>> D. pituitary adenoma.
With a pituitary adenoma, there can be increased pressure on the optic chiasm, and growth of the
tumor can cause visual changes in both eyes. The other conditions do not present with optic
nerve involvement.
A mother is crying as she holds and rocks her child with tetanus who is having muscular spasms

Controlling environmental stimulation such as noise, light, or tactile stimuli helps reduce CNS
irritability related to acute tetanus. The mother should be instructed to minimize handling of the
child during episodes of muscle spasticity and to stay calmly near the child. The mother's
presence with the child provides security and support, so (B) is not indicated. Reducing external
stimuli (C) may have some effect in reducing the child's distress but light tends to be less
irritating than vibratory or auditory stimuli and is essential for careful observation. Although a
calm, reassuring manner and sympathetic understanding (D) can help reduce the mother's
anxiety, the most comforting measure for the child is the presence of the mother.
A condition in which blood has pooled, producing distended and palpable vessels, is referred to
as a:
A. thrombus.
B. venous stasis ulcers.
C. varicose veins.
D. deep vein thrombosis. - Answer>>> C. varicose veins.
Varicose veins are distended and palpable vessels. Thrombus is a blood clot that remains
attached to a vessel wall. Venous stasis ulcers are caused by cell death and necrosis secondary to
trauma or pressure-induced oxygen deficiency. Deep vein thrombosis is a thrombus formation
occurring mainly in the lower extremities.
In a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which of the following pathophysiological changes is
primarily responsible for insulin resistance?
a) Decreased secretion of insulin by pancreatic beta cells
b) Impaired glucose uptake by peripheral tissues
c) Hyperglycemia-induced inhibition of insulin receptor signaling
d) Dysregulation of hepatic glucose production - Answer>>> b) impaired glucose uptake by
peripheral tissues
