CHIMA NCE Study Guide: Questions With Solutions
Fentanyl Right Ans - pain medication; (synthetic) opioid used as an
analgesic
Analgesic Right Ans - drugs that relieve pain; painkillers; pain relievers;
includes different drug classes (acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, antiepileptics, local anesthetics, and
opioids)
Anticholinergic Right Ans - drugs that block the action of a
neurotransmitter called acetylcholine; inhibits nerve impulses responsible for
involuntary muscle movements and various bodily functions
Acetylcholine Right Ans - neurotransmitter chemical; used in many parts of
your body and helps you stay alert, keep a steady heart rate, breathe, digest
food, sweat and empty your bladder
Scopolamine Right Ans - Drug for motion sickness; anticholinergic drug
class
Nitroglycerin (patch) Right Ans - Drug used to control chronic chest pain
Intracellular fluid vs interstitial fluid Right Ans - intracellular fluid is found
inside of cells; extracellular fluid (found in the space between cells) =
interstitial fluid + blood plasma
Blood vs Lymph Right Ans - blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones and
antibodies, part of the circulatory system (along with the heart and blood
vessels); lymph drains excess fluids and proteins from tissues (fluid balance
and immune functios)
Plasma Right Ans - Liquid component of blood; carries blood cells and
nutrients
Central Nervous System (CNS) Right Ans - brain and spinal cord
Antihistamines Right Ans - drugs to treat symptoms of allergies and
reactions to insect bites or stings
, Dyphenhydramine Right Ans - Benadryl; antihistamine
Albumin Right Ans - plasma protein; made by the liver; keep fluid from
leaking out of blood vessels; carrier protein (drugs, nutrients, enzymes,
hormones)
Albumin blood test Right Ans - measures albumin in the blood; low
concentration may indicate liver disease (decreased production) or kidney
disease (nephrotic syndrome; excess excretion of albumin); high
concentration may indicate dehydration
Liver function tests Right Ans - aka liver panel; measures how well liver is
producing different enzymes, proteins and other substances; may include
albumin blood test
Meiosis Right Ans - Cell division that produces reproductive cells in
sexually reproducing organisms
Eukaryotes vs Prokaryotes Right Ans - eukaryotes have a membrane-
bound nucleus and prokaryotes do not
Down Syndrome Right Ans - Trisomy 21; extra copy of chromosome 21
DNA, genes and chromosomes Right Ans - Genes make up sections in DNA
and dictate physical features; DNA fold up (using specific proteins called
histones) to form chromosomes
Felodopine Right Ans - drug used to treat high blood pressure
Jaundice Right Ans - yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes (and
darkening of urine) caused by an accumulation of bile pigment (bilirubin) in
the blood; may be indication of liver amage/disease
(Serum) creatinine test Right Ans - creatinine is a waste product produced
by muscles, kidneys filter blood of creatinine then excreted in urine; high
levels of serum creatinine may be indicative of kidney dysfunction
Fentanyl Right Ans - pain medication; (synthetic) opioid used as an
analgesic
Analgesic Right Ans - drugs that relieve pain; painkillers; pain relievers;
