His hemoglobin levels are 15.5 g/dL. Would this be considered a normal or
abnormal value? - (answers)Normal
You are reading results from a recent blood panel for Susan, a 48-year-old female.
Her hemoglobin levels are 7 g/dL. Would this be considered a normal or abnormal
value? - (answers)Abnormal. Normal Hemoglobin levels for a female is 12-15 g/dL
You are reading results from a recent blood panel for Jane, a 37-year-old female.
Her hemoglobin levels are 13 g/dL. Would this be considered a normal or
abnormal value? - (answers)Normal
Which are true of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. - (answers)It is involved
in cellular respiration
They play a role in apoptosis
Which is NOT true of the cytoskeleton? - (answers)It includes peroxisomes and
proteasomes
,3|Page
Which of the following is an active form of Vitamin D? - (answers)25-
hydroxycholecalciferol
Which of the following is an inactive form of Vitamin D? - (answers)Cholecalciferol
Which of the following is synthesized in the kidney and regulates the
differentiation of red blood cells within bone marrow? - (answers)Erythropoietin
Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. - (answers)Controls
the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within
Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells
Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation
True or False. If false, explain why the statement is false.
A benign neoplasm invades and destroys tissue and possesses a rapid rate of
growth. - (answers)False. A malignant neoplasm invades and destroys tissues and
possesses a rapid rate of growth.
OR
A benign neoplasm resembles the cells of the tissues of origin and possesses a
slow rate of growth.
True or False. If false, explain why the statement is false.

A malignant neoplasm resembles the cells of the tissues of origin and possesses a
slow rate of growth. - (answers)False. A benign neoplasm resembles the cells of
the tissues of origin and possesses a slow rate of growth.
OR
A malignant neoplasm invades and destroys tissue and possesses a rapid rate of
growth.
List 2 differences between benign and malignant neoplasms. - (answers)Any
combination of the following - Benign tumors are well-differentiated cells,
resemble the cells of tissues of origin, and have a slow, progressive rate of
growth. They grow by expansion and remain localized to their site of origin, not
capable of metastasizing. Malignant neoplasms invade and destroy tissue. They
grow rapidly, spread to other parts of the body, and lack well- defined margins.
They can compress blood vessels and outgrow their blood supply, causing
ischemia and tissue injury.
Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. - (answers)In dry
gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its
color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It
results from a cut-off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation
necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The
skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction
occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage
is rapid.
You are talking to your patient who has been recently diagnosed with
Osteoporosis. They mentioned that they joined a Silver Sneakers program at their
local gym because they read that weight-bearing exercise promotes bone density.
What word of caution would you give to them as they participate in this program?
