When considering hemolytic anemia, which statement is true regarding the
j j j j j j j j j j
occurrence of jaundice? j j

A patient is diagnosed with pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vas
j j j j j j j j j j
cular resistance. Which of the following heart failures may result from this c
j j j j j j j j j j j j
ondition?
a. Right heart failure j j
b. Left heart failure j j
c. Low-output failure j
d. High-output failure - ✔✔✔Correct Answer > a. Right heart failure j j j j j j j j j j
Exp: Right heart failure is defined as the inability of the right ventricle to pr
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
ovide adequate blood flow into the pulmonary circulation at a normal cen
j j j j j j j j j j j
tral venous pressure. It most often results from the left heart failure when
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
the increase in left ventricular filling pressure that is reflected back into th
j j j j j j j j j j j j
e pulmonary circulation is severe enough. As pressure in the pulmonary ci
j j j j j j j j j j j
rculation rises, the resistance to right ventricular emptying increases.

,What is the chromosomal variation that causes Klinefelter syndrome?
j j j j j j j j
a. Nondisjunction of the X chromosome in the father j j j j j j j
b. Translocation of the X chromosome in the mother j j j j j j j
c. Nondisjunction of X chromosome in the mother j j j j j j
d. Translocation of the Y chromosome in the father - j j j j j j j j

What physical sign is the result of turbulent blood flow through a vessel?
j j j j j j j j j j j j
a. Increased blood pressure during periods of stress
j j j j j j
b. Bounding pulse felt on palpation j j j j
c. Cyanosis observed on excretion j j j
, d. Murmur heard on auscultation - j j j j
✔✔✔Correct Answer > d. Murmur heard on auscultation
j j j j j j j j j
Exp: Where flow is obstructed the vessel turns or blood flows over rough
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
surfaces. The flow becomes turbulent with whorls or eddy currents that
j j j j j j j j j j j
produce noise causing a murmur to be heard on auscultation such as occu

rs during blood pressure measurement with a sphygomanometer. This s
