Removal of part of the liver leads to the remaining liver cells
undergoing compensatory .....ANSWER.....Compensatory
hyperplasia is an adaptive mechanism that enables certain
organs to regenerate. For example, the removal of part of the
liver leads to hyperplasia of the remaining liver cells
(hepatocytes) to compensate for the loss.
Which of the following statements best describes Raynaud
disease?
,Page 2 of 207
a. An inflammatory disorder of small and medium-size arteries in
the feet and sometimes in the hands
b. A neoplastic disorder of the lining of the arteries and veins of
the upper extremities
c. A vasospastic disorder of the small arteries and arterioles of
the fingers, and less commonly, the toes
d. An autoimmune disorder of the large arteries and veins of the
upper and lower extremities
.....ANSWER.....c. A vasospastic disorder of the small arteries and
arterioles of the fingers, and less commonly, the toes
A patient is diagnosed with pulmonary disease and elevated
pulmonary vascular resistance. Which of the following heart
failures may result from this condition?
a. Right heart failure
b. Left heart failure
,Page 3 of 207
c. Low-output failure
d. High-output failure
.....ANSWER.....a. Right heart failure
Exp: Right heart failure is defined as the inability of the right
ventricle to provide adequate blood flow into the pulmonary
circulation at a normal central venous pressure. It most often
results from the left heart failure when the increase in left
ventricular filling pressure that is reflected back into the
pulmonary circulation is severe enough. As pressure in the
pulmonary circulation rises, the resistance to right ventricular
emptying increases.
What physical sign is the result of turbulent blood flow through a
vessel?
a. Increased blood pressure during periods of stress
b. Bounding pulse felt on palpation
, Page 4 of 207
c. Cyanosis observed on excretion
d. Murmur heard on auscultation .
....ANSWER.....d. Murmur heard on auscultation
Exp: Where flow is obstructed the vessel turns or blood flows
over rough surfaces. The flow becomes turbulent with whorls or
eddy currents that produce noise causing a murmur to be heard
on auscultation such as occurs during blood pressure measurement
with a sphygomanometer. This selection is the only option that
accurately identifies the physical sign of turbulent vascular blood
flow. pg 1113
Which congenital heart defects occur in trisomy 13, trisomy 18
and down syndrome?
a. Coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary stenosis
b. Tetralogy of Fallot and persistent truncus arteriosus
c. Atrial septal defect and dextrocardia
