VERIFIED QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED ANSWERS |
GUARANTEED PASS | GRADED A
A runner has depleted all the oxygen available for muscle energy. Which of the
following will facilitate his continued muscle performance? - ANS.... -Answer:
Anaerobic glycolysis
What causes the rapid change in the resting membrane potential that initiates an
action potential? - ANS.... -Answer: Sodium gates open, and sodium rushes into
the cell, changing the membrane potential from negative to positive.
A 12-year-old male is diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome. His karyotype would
reveal which of the following? - ANS.... -Answer: XXY
A nurse is reviewing the pedigree chart. When checking for a proband, what is the
nurse looking for? - ANS.... -Answer: The person who is first diagnosed with a
genetic disease
An aide asks the nurse why people who have neurofibromatosis will show varying
degrees of the disease. Which genetic principle should the nurse explain to the
aide? - ANS.... -Answer: Expressivity
, In teaching a patient with cirrhosis, which information should the nurse include
regarding cholesterol? - ANS.... -Answer: Cholesterol decreases the membrane
fluidity of the erythrocyte, which reduces its ability to carry oxygen.
When a patient asks what causes cystic fibrosis, how should the nurse respond?
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a _____ gene - ANS.... -Answer: Autosomal recessive
How are potassium and sodium transported across plasma membranes? - ANS.... -
Answer: By adenosine triphosphate enzyme (ATPase)
The nurse would be correct in identifying the predominant extracellular cation as:
- ANS.... -Answer: Sodium
The early dilation (swelling) of the cell's endoplasmic reticulum results in: - ANS....
-Answer: Reduced protein synthesis
What principle should the nurse remember when trying to distinguish aging from
diseases? - ANS.... -Answer: It is difficult to tell the difference because both
processes are believed to result from cell injury.
What is the diagnosis of a 13-year-old female who has a karyotype that reveals an
absent homologous X chromosome with only a single X chromosome present?
Her features include a short stature, widely spaced nipples, reduced carrying
angle at the elbow, and sparse body hair. - ANS.... -Answer: Turner syndrome
A eukaryotic cell is undergoing DNA replication. In which region of the cell would
most of the genetic information be contained? - ANS.... -Answer: Nucleolus
