A 72-year-old woman with complaints of increasing fatigue has completed a series of
fecal occult blood tests that indicate the presence of blood in her stool. Which of the
following health problems is likely to accompany this patient's gastrointestinal bleed?
-Hemolytic anemia
-Aplastic anemia
-Iron-deficiency anemia
-Megaloblastic anemia
-Iron-deficiency anemia
During a lecture on inflammation, the physiology instructor discusses the major cellular
components involved in the inflammation response. The instructor asks, "Which of the
following cells arrives early in great numbers?" The student with the correct response is:
,-Basophils
-Lymphocytes
-Neutrophils
-Monocytes
-Neutrophils
When skin is broken, germs can enter. Transmission of infectious agents is directly related
to the:
-Source of contact
-Site of infection
-Number of pathogens absorbed
-Virulence factors
-Number of pathogens absorbed
A client has experienced significant decreases in mobility and stamina during a 3-week
hospital stay for the treatment of a femoral head fracture. Which of the following
phenomena most likely accounts for the client's decrease in muscle function?
-Impaired muscle cell metabolism resulting from metaplasia
-Dysplasia as a consequence of inflammation during bone remodeling
-Disuse atrophy of muscle cells during a prolonged period of immobility
-Ischemic atrophy resulting from vascular changes while on bedrest
, -Disuse atrophy of muscle cells during a prolonged period of immobility
A client has arrived in the emergency department with massive blood loss from a
lacerated liver. Knowing the physiological principles behind the capacity for cells to
regenerate, the client's body will likely:
-Pull fluid from the tissues to maintain a reasonable blood pressure
-Stimulate rapid proliferation of RBCs by the blood-forming progenitor cells of the bone
marrow
-Activate the tissue cells to start producing stem cells
-Begin a cell cycle so stem cells can undergo numerous mitotic divisions
-Stimulate rapid proliferation of RBCs by the blood-forming progenitor cells
of the bone marrow
A 53-year-old female hospital client has received a kidney transplant following renal
failure secondary to HTN. The teaching prior to transplant made her aware that she
would need to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life. Which aspect of the
immune system underlies this necessity?
-The lack of identifiable major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules will stimulate
the innate immune response
-Donor organ antibodies will be identified as foreign and stimulate an immune response
-Anti-rejection drugs will stimulate the production of familiar MHC molecules
-MHC molecules will never develop in the cells of the donor organ and effector cells
will be continually stimulated
, -MHC molecules will never develop in the cells of the donor organ and
effector cells will be continually stimulated
When discussing colony-stimulating factors (CSFs), the nurse explains that recombinant
CSF is currently used to:
-Assist kidney dialysis clients to maintain a therapeutic potassium level
-Stimulate the bone marrow to produce more immature cells
-Grow stem cells in the laboratory
-Increase the success rate of bone marrow transplantation
Give this one a try later!
-Increase the success rate of bone marrow transplantation
The nurse knows which of the following statements listed below best matches the phase
of the infectious process of food poisoning with a client with sudden, violent diarrhea
and vomiting after consuming chicken and potato salad eight hours ago at the beach on
a hot day?
-maximum impact of infectious process
-insidious prodromal phase
-sudden incubation of active replication
-subacute prodromal phase
Give this one a try later!
-maximum impact of infectious process
