A NURSE PRACTITIONER EMPLOYED IN THE EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT ADMITS A PATIENT WHO HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERE
FROSTBITE TO HIS HANDS AND TOES AFTER BECOMING LOST ON A
SKI TRAIL. THE NP RECOGNIZES THAT WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
PHENOMENA HAS CAUSED THE TISSUE DAMAGE? (POINTS : 2)
Decreased blood viscosity has resulted in interstitial bleeding.
Reactive vasodilation has compromised perfusion. Autonomic
nervous stimulation has resulted in injury. Decreased blood
flow has induced hypoxia.
QUESTION 2.2. A 6-YEAR-OLD BOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT BY AMBULANCE AFTER HIS MOTHER
DISCOVERED THAT HIS HEART RATE WAS “SO FAST I COULDN'T
EVEN COUNT IT.” THE CHILD WAS DETERMINED TO BE IN ATRIAL
FLUTTER AND HIS MOTHER IS SEEKING AN EXPLANATION FROM
THE HEALTH CARE TEAM. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING POINTS
SHOULD UNDERLIE AN EXPLANATION TO THE MOTHER? (POINTS :
2)
The child is experiencing a reentry rhythm in his right atrium.
The resolution of the problem is dependent on spontaneous recovery and is resistant to pacing
interventions.
The child is likely to have a normal ECG apart from the rapid heart rate.
The boy's atria are experiencing abnormal sympathetic stimulation.

QUESTION 3.3. A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH
INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA IS MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS
SYMPTOMS? (POINTS : 2)
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is lysing many of the boy's neutrophils.
Viruses are killing some of his B cells and becoming incorporated into the genomes of others.
The EBV inhibits the maturation of white cells within his peripheral lymph nodes.
The virus responsible for mononucleosis inhibits the maturation of myeloblasts into
promyelocytes.
