a. 200/140

which is blood pressure greater than or equal to 180/110 mm Hg, until the condition can be

brought under control. xc xc




2. The American Heart Association currently recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for a patient

with which of the following cardiac conditions?
xc xc xc xc xc xc



a. Mitral valve prolapse xc xc



b. Prosthetic heart valve xc xc



c. Rheumatic heart disease xc xc



d. Pacemakers for cardiac arrhythmias xc xc xc




ANSWER: B xc



Previously, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended antibiotic prophylaxis for m
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



any patients with heart murmurs caused by valvular disease (e.g., mitral valve prolapse, rheu
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



matic heart disease) in an effort to prevent infective endocarditis; however, current guidelines
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



omit this recommendation on the basis of accumulated scientific evidence. If a murmur is due
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



to certain specific cardiac conditions (e.g., previous endocarditis, prosthetic heart valve, comp

lex congenital cyanotic heart disease), the AHA continues to recommend antibiotic prophylax

3. One consequence of chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis of the liver is decreased ability of t

a. absorb

Patients also may have chronic hepatitis (B or C) or cirrhosis, with impairment of liver

ANSWER: B xc



Symptoms and signs consistent with allergy include itching, urticaria (hives), rash, swelling, w

heezing, angioedema, runny nose, and tearing eyes. Isolated signs and symptoms such as naus

ea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and fainting generally are not of an allergic origin but rather a

c. Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have a high incidence

of tuberculosis.

d. A diagnosis of active TB is made by a purified protein derivative (PPD) skin test.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc




ANSWER: C x c



The potential coexistence of tuberculosis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



should be explored because patients with AIDS have a high incidence of tuberculosis. A posi
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



tive result on skin testing means specifically that the person has at some time been infected w
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



ith TB, not necessarily that active disease is present. Most patients who become positive skin
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



testers do not develop active disease. A diagnosis of active TB is made by chest x-
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



ray, imaging, sputum culture, and clinical examination.
