When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the following in a
patient with Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD):
A. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH decreased
B. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV increased, MCH increased
C. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normal
D. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH increased - CORECT
ANSWER- Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normal
Rationale: Hemoglobin (Hgb): <12 g/dL (120 g/L) women <13 g/dL (130 g/L) men
Rarely <10 g/dL (100 g/L) Mean corpuscular volume: 80-96 mcm3 (normocytic)
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin Normochromic (normal color) RBC distribution
width: normal
Symptoms in the initial human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection include all
of the following except:
A. Sore throat
B. Fever
C. Weight loss
D. Headache - CORECT ANSWER- C. Weight loss
,In AR disorders, carriers have:
A. Two mutated genes; two from one parent that cause disease
B. A mutation on a sex chromosome that causes a disease
C. A single gene mutation that causes the disease
D. One copy of a gene mutation but not the disease - CORECT ANSWER- D.
One copy of a gene mutation but not the disease
Rationale: Individuals who have an AR disorder have two mutated genes, one on
each allele of the chromosome. Parents of an affected person are called carriers
because each parent carries one copy of the mutation on one chromosome and a
normal gene on the other chromosome. Carriers typically are not affected by the
disease. In pedigrees with an AR inheritance patterns, males and females will be
equally affected because the gene mutation is on an autosome. Goolsby page 28
The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with aging is :
A. Reduced physiological reserve
B. Reduced homeostatic mechanisms
C. Impaired immunological response
D. All of the above - CORECT ANSWER- D. All of the above
Men have faster and more efficient biotransformation of drugs and this is thought
to be due to:
, A. Less obesity rates than women
B. Prostate enlargement
C. Testosterone
D. Less estrogen than women - CORECT ANSWER- C. Testosterone
The cytochrome p system involves enzymes that are generally Inhibited by drugs :
A. Inhibited by drugs
B. Induced by drugs
C. Inhibited or induced by drugs
D. Associated with decreased liver perfusion - CORECT ANSWER- C. Inhibited
or induced by drugs
Functional abilities are best assessed by :
A. Self-report of function
B. Observed assessment of function
