Week 12: Reproductive System
1. A low-fat, vegetarian diet helps relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
a. True – Dietary changes such as eating six small meals each day, increasing intake of
complex carbohydrates, fiber, and water, and decreasing caffeine, alcohol, sugar and
animal fat can be beneficial
2. In a woman with endometriosis, endometrial tissue that responds to hormonal changes of the
menstrual cycle may be found in the lungs
a. True – Other sites of implantation are the sigmoid colon, small intestine, rectum,
appendix, bladder, uterus, vulva, vagina, cervix, lymph nodes, extremities, pleural cavity,
lungs, laparotomy scars, and hernia sacs
3. With early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer, prognosis is excellent
a. True – With early detection and treatment, prognosis is excellent. Overall, the 5 year
survival rate for stage IA or lower is 95%. A cure rate of 100% is possible for women with
dysplasia or carcinoma in situ
4. The risk of testicular cancer is 35-50 times greater for men with cryptorchidism than for the
general male population
a. True – Undescended testes are susceptible to neoplastic processes: the risk of testicular
cancer is 35-50 times greater for men with cryptorchidism or a history or cryptorchidism
than for the general male population
5. All virally-induced sexually transmitted infection are incurable
a. True – although the majority of STIs can be treated, virally induced STIs are considered
incurable
6. Trichomonas is caused by a parasite
a. True – Trichomonas vaginalis is an anaerobic, unicellular, flagellated, parasitic protozoan
that causes trichomonas
Week 13 – Neurological System
1. Which is an example of a disease process producing diffuse cortical dysfunction?
a. Cerebrovascular accident
b. Cerebral emboli
c. Cerebral neoplasm
d. Encephalitis – Disease processes (encephalitis) may produce bilateral cortical
dysfunction
2. Of the following people, who is at highest risk for a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)?
a. Black men older than 65 years of age
b. Black women older than 70 years of age – 50% of CVAs occur in persons older than 70
years. Strokes, however, do occur in a 3:10 ratio (28%) in individuals younger than 65
years. Strokes tend to run in families. The incidence of stroke is 2.5 times higher in blacks
than whites. Stroke prevalence in 2005 for black men was 2.3 million compared to 3.4
million in black women. The risk of first ever stroke in blacks is almost 2x of whites.
c. White men older than 70 years of age
d. White women older than 65 years of age
3. What type of cerebral edema occurs when there is increased permeability of capillary
endothelium after injury to the vascular structure?
