ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |A+ GRADED
In which type of pleural effusion does the fluid become watery and
diffuse out of the capillaries as a result of increased blood pressure or
decreased capillary oncotic pressure?
A. exudative
B. Purulent
C. Transudative
D. Large - answerANS: C
In transudative pleural effusion, the fluid, or transudate, is watery and
diffuses out of the capillaries as a result of disorders that increase
intravascular hydrostatic pressure or decrease capillary oncotic
pressure. The described mechanism is not associated with the other
forms of pleural effusion.

Human herpesvirus (HHV) 8 causes what cancer? - answerKaposi
Sarcoma

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes what type of cancer? - answerLiver
Cancer
Helicobacter pylori causes what type of cancer? - answerStomach
Cancer
Research has shown a link between cancer and which sexually
transmitted disease?
A. Syphilis
B. Gonorrhea
C. HPV
D. Pelvic inflammatory disease - answerANS: C
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted
virus in the United States. High-risk, or oncogenic, HPVs can cause
cancer. A persistence of infection with high-risk HPV is a prerequisite
for the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions
and invasive cervical cancers. No research supports such a link between
the remaining options and
Research data support a carcinogenic relationship in children resulting
from exposure to which virus?
A. Herpes simplex virus
B. Influenza
C. Varicella zoster virus
D. Epstein-Barr virus - answerANS: D
The strongest association between viruses and the development of
cancer in children has been the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Burkitt

lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and Hodgkin disease. No
current research supports a link between the remaining options and
childhood cancer.
A child diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
has an increased risk of developing:
A. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma
B. Retinoblastoma
C. Eptein-Barr
D. Leukemia - answerANS: A
Children with AIDS have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin
lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma. Leukemia is linked to retinoblastoma.
Epstein-Barr has been linked to the development of some cancers,
whereas no known link has been found between AIDS and the
development of leukemia.
In infectious mononucleosis (IM), what does the Monospot test detect?
A. IgE
B. IgM
C. IgG
D. IgA - answerANS: B
Heterophile antibodies are a heterogeneous group of IgM antibodies
that are agglutinins against nonhuman red blood cells (e.g., sheep,
horse) and are detected by qualitative (monospot) or quantitative
(heterophile antibody) test methods. This statement is not true of the
other options.

answerEpstein-Barr virus
The Philadelphia chromosome is present in more than 95% of patients
with this... - answerChronic myelogenous leukemia
Bence Jones protein is present in the blood and urine in approximately
80% of patients with.... - answerMultiple myeloma
_________________ is characterized by its progression from one group of
lymph nodes to another, the development of systemic symptoms, and
the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells - answerHodgkin lymphoma
Prerenal injury from poor perfusion can result from which condition?
(Select all that apply.)
a. bilateral ureteral obstruction
b. renal vasoconstriction
c. renal artery thrombosis
d. hemorrhage
e. hypostension - answerANS: B, C, D, E
Poor perfusion can result from renal artery thrombosis, hypotension
related to hypovolemia (dehydration, diarrhea, fluid shifts) or
hemorrhage, renal vasoconstriction and alterations in renal regional
blood flow, microthrombi, or kidney edema that restricts arterial blood
flow. Bilateral ureteral obstruction is not associated with prerenal
injuries.
Hypercalciuria is primarily attributable to which alteration?
