9. The degree of scarring in the lungs as seen on the chest X ray film surprised
clinicians due to the patient's: - ANSWER ✓ young age
10.True or false: the diagnosis of tuberculosis was confirmed by the clinical
findings consistent with this disease in the patient's chest X ray. - ANSWER
✓ false
11.In the case study, the patient was placed on respiratory isolation precautions
because: - ANSWER ✓ the infectious agent is transmitted in an airborne
maner
12.In the case study, the patients had a great deal of scarring in his lungs. Such
scarring along with the formation of tubercles is often seen in TB patients
due to the action of: - ANSWER ✓ mononuclear cells
13.True or false: the patient in the case study was treated by directly observed
therapy. - ANSWER ✓ false
14.Which of the following is true regarding the tuberculin skin test? -
ANSWER ✓ reaction involved T cell action
15.Which form of clinical tuberculosis has a nearly 60% mortality rate and
leads to the most severe symptoms in patients? - ANSWER ✓ secondary or
reactivation tuberculosis
16.Examination of the throat swab specimen reveals distinct gram-positive
club-shaped bacilli. The laboratory technician immediately contacts the
medical team and begins the process of submitting specimens for PCR
testing to the CDC. The suspected pathogen is: - ANSWER ✓
Corynebacterium diphtheriae
17.The laboratory findings are discussed with the medical team. Culturing on
specialized media will be required for definitive identification of the
microbe. Which medium will the technicians use to culture this suspected
medium? - ANSWER ✓ tellurite medium
, 18.The patient's clinical condition deteriorates rapidly. Even without laboratory
confirmation of the pathogen, the provider orders which course of treatment?
- ANSWER ✓ administration of antitoxin to treat the patient's suspected
diphtheria
19.The nurse assesses the patient's medical history and notes that she has not
received routine medical screening and treatment in the past 15 years. The
patient could have avoided this preventable disease by staying current with
which vaccination? - ANSWER ✓ Td
20.The RN educates the patient about diphtheria. In explaining the role of
exotoxin in the pathogenesis of the disease, the nurse correctly states that the
exotoxin: - ANSWER ✓ is the major virulence factor of the disease and is
released in the blood causing system effects
21.This image depicts an acid-fast stained sputum sample showing red bacilli.
What might be a preliminary diagnosis for this patients? - ANSWER ✓
tuberculosis
22.Match the pathogen to the disease it causes to test your understanding
microorganisms that cause upper respiratory tract diseases. - ANSWER ✓
otitis media - streptococcus pneumoniae
pharyngitis - streptococcus pyogenes
common old - rhinovirus
diphtheria - corynebacterium diphtheriae
Move the correct terms into the empty boxes to complete the concept map -
ANSWER ✓ Community-acquired pneumonia (top)
Bacteria -- S. pneumoniae
Viruses
Fungi -- H. capsulatum, P. jiroveci
