, Autoantibodi
In the hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid activity) of Graves disease, autoantibody binds to and
activates receptors for TSH (a pituitary hormone that controls the production of the hormone thyroxine
by the thyroid). The other options do not accurately describe the cause of Graves disease.
Question 7
What is the most commonly reported symptom of cancer treatment?
Fatigue
Fatigue
Fatigue
Fatigue is the most frequently reported symptom of cancer and cancer treatment. Although patients
report the other options, they are not as frequently experienced as fatigue.
Question 8
In which structure does B lymphocytes mature and undergo changes that commit them to becoming B
cells?
Bone marrow
Bone marrow
Bone marrow
B lymphocytes mature and become B cells in specialized (primary) lymphoid organs—the thymus gland
for T cells and the bone marrow for B cells. Neither regional lymph nodes nor the spleen are involved in
changing B lymphocytes into B cells.
Question 9
, Chvostek and Trousseau signs indicate which electrolyte imbalance?
Hypocalcemia
Hypocalcem
Hypocalcemia
Two clinical signs of hypocalcemia are the Chvostek sign and Trousseau sign. These clinical signs are not
indicative of any of the other options.
Question 10
On average, what percent of cardiac output do the kidneys receive?
20% to 25%
20% to 25%
20% to 25%
The kidneys are highly vascular organs and usually receive 1000 to 1200 ml of blood per minute, or
approximately 20% to 25% of the cardiac output.
Question 11
Which substance is used to correct the chronic anemia associated with chronic renal failure?
Erythropoietin
Erythropoieti
Erythropoietin
One of the most significant advances in the study of hematopoietic growth factors has been the
development of erythropoietin for individuals with chronic renal failure. The other options are not
associated with the treatment of chronic anemia.
