APEA- Patho Pulm Exam Questions with Correct Answers
Question 1:
The most common cause of croup is:
Bordetella pertussis. parainfluenza virus. coronavirus.
Haemophilus influenzae.
shortness of breath and pursed lip breathing at rest. productive cough and dyspnea on
exertion.
Answer:
parainfluenza virus.
Results from spirometry testing of a 60-year-old man indicate an FEV1/FVC <70%, 30% FEV1
<80% predicted. Given these results, expected symptoms in this patient would include:
decreased pulses and peripheral edema.
Question 2:
bradycardia with tachypnea.
Answer:
productive cough and dyspnea on exertion.
Question 3:
Symptoms include cough, sputum production, and dyspnea on exertion. Symptoms of pursed
lip
Answer:
Findings of FEV1/FVC <70%, 30% FEV1 <80% predicted suggest the presence of moderate
COPD. breathing at rest, decreased pulses, peripheral edema, and tachycardia with tachypnea
suggest severe
Question 4:
Annual influenza vaccination is necessary due to: active immunity.
passive immunity.
Answer:
COPD.
adaptive immunity.
Question 5:
antigenic variation.
Answer:
antigenic variation.
,Question 6:
A cough that produces pink, frothy sputum
Answer:
Red or green sputum that contains pus
Question 7:
A frequent cough that is dry and nonproductive
Answer:
A cough that produces pink, frothy sputum
Pulmonary edema is a condition in which fluid leaks into the alveolar spaces due to
hemodynamic causes such as left heart failure or pulmonary venous obstruction. This
obstruction causes microvascular
Question 8:
Acute respiratory consequences of pulmonary embolism include: endothelial injury.
turbulence of blood flow.
Answer:
injury or increased capillary permeability, resulting in pink, frothy sputum (hemoptysis).
hypercoagulability.
Question 9:
pulmonary infarction.
Answer:
pulmonary infarction.
Question 10:
Acute respiratory consequences of pulmonary embolism (PE) include: increased alveolar dead
space;
Answer:
The other 3 factors predispose a patient to blood clot formation
Question 11:
A common assessment finding in patients with cystic fibrosis is steatorrhea due to:
hyperalgesia.
pancreatic insufficiency.
Answer:
hypoxemia; hyperventilation; loss of surfactant; and pulmonary infarction. short gut syndrome.
, Question 12:
increased intestinal mobility.
Answer:
pancreatic insufficiency.
Symptoms of cystic fibrosis include bulky, oily, foul-smelling stool (steatorrhea) resulting from
an inability to absorb fats. Intestinal obstruction and mechanical problems are due to
pancreatic
Question 13:
An acute hemodynamic consequence of a pulmonary embolism that may cause significant
mortality is: pulmonary hypertension.
right ventricular failure.
Answer:
insufficiency with atrophy, as well as obstructive cirrhosis and hypoplastic gallbladder. pleural
effusion.
Question 14:
pulmonary infarction.
Answer:
right ventricular failure.
Question 15:
Inflammation of the bronchioles and trachea that usually follows an upper respiratory tract
infection in adults is:
asthma. bronchiolitis.
Answer:
Pulmonary infarction is usually reversible, if caught & intervention is early pneumonia.
Question 16:
acute bronchitis.
Answer:
acute bronchitis.
Question 17:
Influenza A viruses cause most human infections.
Answer:
Influenza viruses are specific to humans.
