QUESTION: 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 - ANSWER-ANS: 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.
QUESTION: In infectious mononucleosis (IM), what does the Monospot test detect?
A. IgE
B. IgM
C. IgG
D. IgA - ANSWER-ANS: 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
, Page 2 of 100
(monospot) or quantitative (heterophile antibody) test methods. This statement is not true of
the other options.
QUESTION: Infectious mononucleosis is mostly caused by what virus? - ANSWER-Epstein-Barr
virus
QUESTION: The Philadelphia chromosome is present in more than 95% of patients with this... -
ANSWER-Chronic myelogenous leukemia
QUESTION: Bence Jones protein is present in the blood and urine in approximately 80% of
patients with.... - ANSWER-Multiple myeloma
QUESTION: _________________ 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 - ANSWER-Hodgkin lymphoma

b. renal vasoconstriction
c. renal artery thrombosis
d. hemorrhage
, Page 3 of 100
e. hypostension - ANSWER-ANS: 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.
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 - ANSWER-ANS: 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.

QUESTION: Research has shown a link between cancer and which sexually transmitted disease?
A. Syphilis
B. Gonorrhea
C. HPV
D. Pelvic inflammatory disease - ANSWER-ANS: 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
QUESTION: 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 - ANSWER-ANS: 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
