ACTUAL EXAM 2025| 140 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED CORRECT
RATIONALES
1. What is the primary purpose of bronchodilators such as Beta 2-
Adrenergic Agonists in the management of respiratory conditions?
To reduce inflammation in the airways
To provide symptomatic relief during an attack
To prevent the onset of respiratory
infections To enhance lung capacity
permanently
2. What is the definition of heart failure?
The inability of the heart to supply the lungs with blood
The inability of the heart to supply blood to meet the
body's metabolic demands
The inability of the heart to receive blood
The inability of the heart to coordinate a systolic and diastolic
phase
The inability of the heart to store blood
3. Which autoimmune disease results in the destruction of the lacrimal
and salivary glands?
Sjögren Syndrome
, systemic lupus erythematosus
systemic scleroris
lichen planus
4. How does Klinefelter Syndrome affect male physical
characteristics and what are some common traits associated with
this condition?
It leads to a typical male phenotype with no additional traits.
, It results in male individuals having female-like qualities such as
breast development and reduced facial hair.
It causes severe cognitive impairment without physical
manifestations.
It primarily affects reproductive capabilities without influencing
physical traits.
5. A patient with POTS is experiencing severe symptoms despite
following
initial treatment recommendations. If they are advised to increase their
salt intake and fluid consumption, what physiological effect should this
have on their condition?
It should decrease their heart rate significantly.
It should lead to an increase in blood volume and
potentially alleviate symptoms.
It will have no effect on their
symptoms. It will cause their blood
pressure to drop.
6. Explain how smooth muscle hypertrophy contributes to the
symptoms of bronchitis.
It reduces airflow by increasing lung capacity.
It leads to inflammation and narrowing of the airways.
It enhances the body's ability to clear mucus.
It decreases the production of mucus in the lungs.
, 7. A patient receiving IgM therapy develops a mild reaction. If the
infusion rate is slowed and Tylenol, Benadryl, and steroids are
administered, what should the healthcare provider monitor for after
these interventions?
The patient's blood pressure and heart rate for signs of
anaphylaxis The patient's temperature and signs of infection
The patient's response to the medications and any side effects
