NR 507: Week 8 Final Exam
(Secure HIGHSCORE)
,Question 1
pts
Tissue damage caused by the deposition of circulating immune complexes
containing an antibody against the host DNA is the cause of which disease?
Hemolytic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Myasthenia gravis
Only the deposition of circulating immune complexes containing an antibody
against the host DNA produce tissue damage in individuals with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE).
Question 2
pts
How does chest wall compliance in an infant differ from that of an adult?
An adult’s chest wall compliance is lower than an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is higher than an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is the same as an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is dissimilar to that of an infant’s.
Chest wall compliance is higher in infants than it is in adults, particularly in
premature infants.
Question 3
pts
,What term is used to describe a hernial protrusion of a saclike cyst that contains
meninges, spinal fluid, and a portion of the spinal cord through a defect in a
posterior arch of a vertebra?
Encephalocele
Meningocele
Spina bifida occulta
Myelomeningocele
Myelomeningocele is a hernial protrusion of a saclike cyst containing meninges,
spinal fluid, and a portion of the spinal cord with its nerves through a defect in the
posterior arch of a vertebra. The remaining options are not appropriate terms to
identity the described condition.
Question 4
pts
Continued therapy of pernicious anemia (PA) generally lasts how long?
6 to 8 weeks
8 to 12 months
Until the iron level is normal
The rest of one’s life
Because PA cannot be cured, maintenance therapy is a life-long endeavor.
Question 5
pts
Cytokines are thought to cause fevers by stimulating the synthesis of which
chemical mediator?
, Leukotriene
Histamine
Prostaglandin
Bradykinin
Cytokines seem to raise the thermoregulatory set point through stimulation of
prostaglandin synthesis and turnover in thermoregulatory (brain) and
nonthermoregulatory (peripheral) tissues. The other options do not accurately
identify the appropriate chemical mediator.
Question 6
pts
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines grade 1 (overweight) as a BMI of:
18.5 to 24.9
25 to 29.9
30 to 39.9
40 to 50.9
A BMI of 25 to 29.9 kg/m2 is considered a grade 1 (overweight) classification. A
BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2 is considered normal range, whereas 30 to 39.9
kg/m2 is a grade 2 (severe overweight) classification, and a BMI higher than 40
kg/m2 is considered grade 3 (morbidly overweight).
IncorrectQuestion 7
pts
When diagnosed with hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), why does the
newborn develop hyperbilirubinemia after birth but not in utero?
Excretion of unconjugated bilirubin through the placenta into the mother’s
circulation is no longer possible.
