WGU D027 STUDY GUIDE TEST PAPER
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND ACCURATE
RESPONSES
●● Klinefelter Syndrome
Answer: An extra X chromosome for males, so example XXY causing
female-like qualities.
●● Turner Syndrome
Answer: Females missing or deformed X chromosome. Right
hemisphere dysfunction, hearing loss, ear infection, language and
articulation disorders, visual spatial and attentional problems.
●● Beta Thalassemia
Answer: A condition in which the synthesis of the beta-globin chains is
decreased or absent, causing low hemoglobin.
●● Contraindicated Medication for Beta Thalassemia
Answer: Ferrous sulfate.
●● Drug for Lymphoid Tissue Treatment
Answer: Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - for hormone
receptor positive and advanced breast cancer.
,●● Normal Ejection Fraction
Answer: 55-60%. Less than 50% is bad.
●● Ejection Fraction of 50%
Answer: Preserved.
●● Symptoms of Left Sided Heart Failure
Answer: Think pulmonary. JVD, FVO, rails, S3 murmurs. Number one
cause of right sided heart failure.
●● Symptoms of Right Sided Heart Failure
Answer: Think peripheral vascular. Lower extremity edema, abdominal
distension.
●● Gold Standard Lab Test for Heart Failure
Answer: BNP. Heart failure is a result greater than 100.
●● Heart Disease Worse with Exertion
Answer: Ischemic heart disease because the demand requirements are
higher.
●● Assessment Before Giving Digoxin
, Answer: Apical pulse.
●● Starting Warfarin
Answer: Start initial dose at half to monitor the effects.
●● Emphysema
Answer: Causes the destruction of alveolar walls; air goes in but can't
get out which leads to hyperinflation.
●● Bronchitis
Answer: Causes excess mucus production and smooth muscle
hypertrophy.
●● Chronic Inflammatory Obstruction of Bronchi
Answer: Asthma, triggers cause mucus to clog bronchial tubes.
●● Acromegaly
Answer: Endocrine disorder causing overbite and buffalo hump due to
overproduction of growth hormone.
●● Addison's Disease
Answer: Caused by decreased glucocorticoid due to autoimmune
destruction of adrenal cortex.
