NR 507 Final Exam
Question 1
Which hormone prompts increased anxiety, vigilance, and arousal during a stress response?
Correct! 3339
Norepinephrine
Norepinephr
Norepinephrine
Only the release of norepinephrine promotes arousal, increased vigilance, increased anxiety, and other
protective emotional responses.
Question 2
pts
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune process involving antibodies attacking
which type of cells?
Platelets
Platelets
ITP is a disorder of platelet consumption. This selection is the only option that correctly identifies which
type of cell is attacked by ITP.
Question 3
When renin is released, it is capable of which action?
Formation of angiotensin I
Formation of
Formation of angiotensin I
,When renin is released, it cleaves an α6globulin (angiotensinogen produced by liver hepatocytes) in the
plasma to form angiotensin I.
Question 4
Which of the following are formed elements of the blood that are not cells but are disk6shaped
cytoplasmic fragments essential for blood clotting?
Platelets
Platelets
Platelets
Platelets (thrombocytes) are not true cells but are disk6shaped cytoplasmic fragments that are essential
for blood coagulation and control of bleeding. This description is not accurate for any of the other
options.
.
Question 5
In a full6term infant, the normal erythrocyte life span is _____ days, whereas the adult erythrocyte life
span is _____ days.
60 to 80; 120
60 to 80; 120
In full6term infants, normal erythrocyte life span is 60 to 80 days; in premature infants it may be as short
as 20 to 30 days; and in children and adolescents, it is 120 days, the same as that in adults.
Question 6
pts
Graves disease is a result of:
Autoantibodies binding to thyroid6stimulating hormone (TSH)6receptor sites
, Autoantibodi
In the hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid activity) of Graves disease, autoantibody binds to and
activates receptors for TSH (a pituitary hormone that controls the production of the hormone thyroxine
by the thyroid). The other options do not accurately describe the cause of Graves disease.
Question 7
What is the most commonly reported symptom of cancer treatment?
Fatigue
Fatigue
Fatigue
Fatigue is the most frequently reported symptom of cancer and cancer treatment. Although patients
report the other options, they are not as frequently experienced as fatigue.
Question 8
In which structure does B lymphocytes mature and undergo changes that commit them to becoming B
cells?
Bone marrow
Bone marrow
Bone marrow
B lymphocytes mature and become B cells in specialized (primary) lymphoid organs—the thymus gland
for T cells and the bone marrow for B cells. Neither regional lymph nodes nor the spleen are involved in
changing B lymphocytes into B cells.
Question 9
, Chvostek and Trousseau signs indicate which electrolyte imbalance?
Hypocalcemia
Hypocalcem
Hypocalcemia
Two clinical signs of hypocalcemia are the Chvostek sign and Trousseau sign. These clinical signs are not
indicative of any of the other options.
Question 10
On average, what percent of cardiac output do the kidneys receive?
20% to 25%
20% to 25%
20% to 25%
The kidneys are highly vascular organs and usually receive 1000 to 1200 ml of blood per minute, or
approximately 20% to 25% of the cardiac output.
Question 11
Which substance is used to correct the chronic anemia associated with chronic renal failure?
Erythropoietin
Erythropoieti
Erythropoietin
One of the most significant advances in the study of hematopoietic growth factors has been the
development of erythropoietin for individuals with chronic renal failure. The other options are not
associated with the treatment of chronic anemia.
