100% ACCURATE ANSWERS
Autosomal Dominant - Accurate answers 1 parent has, 50% change of child having
Autosomal Recessive - Accurate answers Both parents are carriers, 25% change of child
having, 50% chance child is a carrier.
Cystic Fibrosis - Accurate answers affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs
21st Trisomy - Accurate answers Down Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) - Accurate answers male has extra X, female like qualities
Turner Syndrome - Accurate answers Missing X in females
Alpha Thalassemia - Accurate answers inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
Beta Thallasemia - Accurate answers low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous
sulfate
Prevalence Risk - Accurate answers proportion of the population affected at a certain time
Incidence rate - Accurate answers number of new cases divided by population
Innate immunity - Accurate answers inflammation; increased vascular permeability
B&T lymphocytes - Accurate answers immune response
primary malignant tumor - Accurate answers lack of organization of cells
glucocorticoids - Accurate answers used in combination with other agent to treat
lymphoid tissue (leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - Accurate answers for hormone receptor
positive and advanced breast cancer. (Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk)
Heart failure - Accurate answers impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood;
heart cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
CHF - Accurate answers heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
, Left Ventricular Dysfunction - Accurate answers reduced ejection fraction; ventricle having
issue ejecting blood.
normal ejection fraction - Accurate answers 55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each
heartbeat)
Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved? - Accurate answers preserved
Diastolic CHF - Accurate answers preserved ejection fraction, problem is with filling
Systolic CHF - Accurate answers reduced ejection fraction, problem is with ejecting
Left sided CHF - Accurate answers pulmonary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3
murmurs) ** #1 cause of Right sided CHF
BNP - Accurate answers gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF
Echocardiogram - Accurate answers Diagnostic tool, evaluates heart structure and
function
At Risk for HF - Stage A - Accurate answers no structural heart disease or symptoms of
heart failure
Stage A HF co-morbidities - Accurate answers htn, atherosclerotic disease, diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, patients using cardiotoxins with family history
Therapy goals of stage A HF - Accurate answers treat htn, encourage smoking cessation,
encourage regular exercise, treat lipid disorders, discourage alcohol intake/drug use, control
metabolic syndrome
Meds: ACEI or Angiotensin II RB for vascular disease or diabetes (avapro, losartan, benicar,
diovan, etc)
At Risk for HF - Stage B - Accurate answers structural heart disease but no symptoms of
heart failure
Stage B HF co-morbidities - Accurate answers previous MI, LV remodeling with LV
hypertrophy and low EF, asymptomatic valvular disease
Therapy goals of Stage B HF - Accurate answers Meds: ACEI or ARB, Beta-blockers,
inplantable defibrillators
Stage C heart failure - Accurate answers structural heart disease with prior or current
symptoms of HF
