WGU D027 Complete Study Guide, Notes & Exam
Prep,pass guaranteed,A+,100%.
1. What organ does cystic fibrosis affect?: Attects the pancreas causing secretions into the lungs
2. What is Klinefelter syndrome?: An extra X chromosome for males so example XXY causing female-like
qualities
3. What is Turner Syndrome?: females. missing or deformed x chromosome. right hemisphere dysfunc-
tion, hearing loss, ear infection, language and articulation disorders, visual spatial and attentional problems
4. What is beta thalassemia?: a condition in which the synthesis of the beta-globin chains is decreased
or absent. Causes low hemoglobin.
5. Which medication is contraindicated in a patient with Beta Thalassemia?: Fer-
rous Sulfate
6. What drug is used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid tissue
(leukemia). Directly toxic to lymphoid tissues Selective estrogen receptor mod-
ulators (SERM) - for hormone receptor positive and advanced breast cancer.
(Tomaxafin - reduces risk and recurrence risk): Glucocorticoids
7. What is the normal ejection fraction?: 55-60%. Less than 50% is BAD
8. Is an ejection fraction of 50% reduced or preserved?: Preserved
9. What are symptoms of left sided heart failure?: Think PULMONARY. JVD, FVO, rails, S3
murmurs. Number one cause of right sided heart failure!
10. What are symptoms of right sided heart failure?: Think peripheral vascular. Lower extremity
edema, abdominal distension.
11. What is the gold standard lab test for heart failure?: BNP. Heart failure is a result greater
than 100
12. What heart disease is worse with exertion?: Ischemic heart disease because the demand
requirements are higher.
13. What should you assess before giving Digoxin?: Apical pulse
1/8
, 14. How should Warfarin be started?: Start initial dose at half to monitor the ettects
15. What causes the destruction of alveolar walls? Air goes in but can't get out
which leads to hyperinflation: Emphysema
16. What causes excess mucus production and smooth muscle hypertrophy?: -
Bronchitis
17. What is a chronic inflammatory obstruction of bronchi?: Asthma, Triggers cause mucus
to clog bronchial tubes.
