MN551 Final
1. A 32-year-old man is complaining of burning, itching, photophobia,
and severe pain in his right eye after swimming in the ocean. To determine
that the eye condition is corneal rather than a conjunctival disease, which
of the following would be the distinguishing symptom?
A.) Burning
B.) Itching
c.) photophobia
D.) Severe pain: Severe pain
2. A woman with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes has been ordered by her
primary care provider to have a hemoglobin A1C test for the first time. The
woman states, "I don't see why you want to test my blood cells when it's
sugar that's the problem." What aspect of physiology will underlie the care
provider's response to the patient?
A.)The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells reflects the average
blood glucose levels over the life of the cell.
,B) Hemoglobin synthesis by the bone marrow is inversely proportionate
to blood glucose levels, with low A1C indicating hyperglycemia.
C) The high metabolic needs of red cells and their affinity for free glucose
indicate the amount of glucose that has been available over 6 to 12
weeks.
D) Insulin is a glucose receptor agonist on the hemoglobin molecule, and
high glucose suggests low insulin levels.: The amount of glucose
attached to A1C cells reflects the average blood glucose levels over the
life of the cell.
3. A 30 year old man with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is aware of the
multiple effects that insulin has on his metabolism. Which of the following
physiological processes are actions of insulin?: Facilitating triglycerides
from glucose in fat cells
4. A three-year-old girl has just been diagnosed with type 1A diabetes and
her parents are currently receiving education from the diabetes education
nurse at the hospital where their daughter is receiving treatment. How can
the nurse best explain the etiology of their daughter's health problem to her
,parents?
A.) Environmental and lifestyle factors are known to play a part in the fact
that her pancreas secretes and withholds insulin at the wrong times."
, B.) "This tendency to produce insufficient amounts of insulin is likely
some- thing that she inherited."
C.) "It's not known exactly why your daughter has completely stopped
making insulin, and treatment will consist of your rigidly controlling her
diet."
D.) "The problem that underlies her diabetes is that her own body has de-
stroyed the cells in herpancreas that produce insulin: "The problem that
under- lies her diabetes is that her own body has destroyed the cells in
her pancreas that produce insulin."
5. Which of the following statements best captures an aspect of the role
of hormones in the body?
A.) Some chemical substances can function as hormones or be integrated
with the central and peripheral nervous systems.
B) Hormones directly initiate many of the processes that contribute to
home- ostasis.
