NPTE Review Post PEAT #1 - Questions With Accurate
Answers
Inspiratory capacity Right Ans - tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
Vital capacity equation Right Ans - VC = TV + IRV + ERV
Swan-Ganz catheter Right Ans - soft, flexible catheter that is inserted
through a vein into pulmonary artery. used to provide continuous
measurements of pulm artery pressure. can exercise with device but patient
should avoid activities that increase pressure on injection site
Paget's disease Right Ans - a bone disease of unknown cause characterized
by the excessive breakdown of bone tissue, followed by abnormal bone
formation
Addison's desease Right Ans - hyposecretion of cortisol- may be caused by
either aldosterone or cortisol deficiency (both lack of ACTH)
Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Right Ans - -"Lou Gehrig's Disease"
▪ Rapidly progressive
▪ Fatal degenerative neuro disease (respiratory failure)
▪ Weakness and wasting of voluntary muscles without accompanying sensory
changes
leading to eventual paralysis
▪ Middle to late adult at diagnosis with average survival at 2-5 yrs. after onset
▪ Swallowing, managing secretions, communication, dysfunction of respiratory
muscles
▪ No cause, no cure, no treatment, no pattern of progression, no method of
prevention
Graves disease Right Ans - an autoimmune disorder that is caused by
hyperthyroidism and is characterized by goiter and/or exophthalmos. 7X
more common in women
explain ejection fraction and normal range in Left sided heart failure Right
Ans - In L sided heart failure normal ventricular filling is about 100 ml. 50-
70% of blood is emptied in healthy ventricular contraction (left side) if it is
, below 40% then it's heart failure (diastolic because it can't pump). In left
sided diastolic heart failure EF may be preserved because of limited filling in L
ventricle. This causes backflow to lungs (pulmonary edema*). Left sided HF
typically causes increased resistance for R sided HF afer R ventricular
hypertrophy.
lipidema Right Ans - Lipedema is a symmetrical swelling of both legs,
extending from hips to ankles. Lipedema onset is primarily proximal to distal.
lymphedema Right Ans - Lymphedema is usually unilateral with typical
presentation distally on the extremity (dorsum of the foot or hand)
Meniere's disease Right Ans - Abnormal condition within the labyrinth of
the inner ear that can lead to a progressive loss of hearing. The symptoms are
dizziness or vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
R vs L brain hemisphere injury associated sx Right Ans - With left brain
injuries, common impairments include speech and language problems,
difficulty planning and sequencing movements, and a cautious behavioral
style.
Spatial impairments, difficulty sustaining movements, and an impulsive
behavioral style are more likely to be associated with right brain injuries.
referred pain area of liver, pancreas and kidney Right Ans - liver to right
shoulder ( other sx include R shoulder bruising, palmar erythema and
confusion)
pancreas refers pain to left shoulder
kidney refers pain to post. subcostal region
abdominal cavity viscera by quadrant (GLASS) Right Ans - top right gall
and liver, bottom right appendix, skip bottom left, upper left stomach spleen
Galvanotaxis Right Ans - The principle behind wound healing with
electrical stimulation is galvanotaxis. The current's polarity introduced into
the wound attracts cells that promote healing. Thus, a generator that has
polarity must be used. High-voltage pulsed currents are polar currents. The
