Question 1
Which of these statements is true regarding angioplasty?
a. An angiogram and angioplasty are the same procedure.
b. Angioplasty is a small battery-operated device.
c. Angioplasty is used to diagnose heart disorders.
d. Angioplasty is used to restore blood flow to ischemic myocardial tissue.
CORRECT ANSWER
d. Angioplasty is used to restore blood flow to ischemic myocardial tissue.
Angioplasty is a treatment to open narrowed blood vessels by expanding a small balloon
at the site, which widens the vessel: a stent (small metal coil) may be inserted to help
keep the vessel opened.
Question 2
Sensitivity testing in microbiology is performed to:
a. check for antibiotic sensitivity to the bacteria found in the specimen.
b. check for mistakes in specimen collection.
c. check for reactions to dyes.
d. correct mistakes in specimen collection.
CORRECT ANSWER
a. check for antibiotic sensitivity to the bacteria found in the specimen.
1
, Once a bacteria has been identified, the provider will perform a culture and sensitivity
test to determine the appropriate antibiotic to destroy the pathogen. Culture refers to
growing the bacteria and sensitivity refers to the organism's susceptibility to antibiotics.
Question 3
When educating your patient, which of the following is recommended for the prevention
of deep vein thrombosis?
a. Allow the patient to sit still for long periods of time
b. Consume high levels of dietary fibre
c. Discourage walking or moving legs during the day
d. Encourage the use of compression stockings
CORRECT ANSWER
d. Encourage the use of compression stockings
The patient should wear compression stockings as ordered by the physician. The patient
should also be encouraged to move their legs and feet to maximize circulation and
prevent blood clots.
Question 4
You have just done a venipuncture on your patient and the patient says she feels like she is
going to faint. Into what position do you quickly place your patient in?
a. Lithotomy
b. Semi-Fowler's
c. Sims'
2
,d. Trendelenburg
CORRECT ANSWER
d. Trendelenburg
Trendelenburg's position means that the patient lies flat on their back with their head
lower than the legs. This position is used for abdominal surgery, for treatment of patients
who are in shock, and to increase blood pressure in patients with hypotension.
Question 5
Cheyne-Stokes describes a:
a. Rhythm of pulse.
b. Stethoscope.
c. Surgical instrument.
d. Type of respiration.
CORRECT ANSWER
d. type of respiration.
Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a breathing pattern marked by a period of apnea lasting 10-
60 seconds, followed by gradually increasing depth and frequency of respirations. It is
often related to congestive heart failure.
Question 6
The basic ECG has how many leads?
a. 6
b. 8
3
, c. 10
d. 12
CORRECT ANSWER
d. 12
A basic ECG has 12 leads: 3 standard leads, 3 augmented leads, and 6 precordial leads.
Question 7
Which one of the following tests identifies the organism associated with a urinary tract
infection?
a. Colony count.
b. Culture and sensitivity.
c. Gram stain.
d. Pure culture.
CORRECT ANSWER
b. Culture and sensitivity.
After the culture has been obtained, appropriate tests are done to identify the pathogen.
A sensitivity test determines the susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria to various
antibiotics.
Question 8
Which of the following information must be given to the patient in order for them to have
received informed consent?
a. A brief discussion on post-op care
