What does the presence of petechiae and ecchymoses
indicate in a patient?
1. Anemia
2. Coagulation disorder
3. Dehydration
4. Hypertension - ANSWER-Coagulation disorder
Petechiae, or pinpoint bruising of the tissue surfaces, and
ecchymoses, or wide bruised areas on the tissue surfaces,
indicate dysfunction of coagulation mechanisms. Anemia
can result from bleeding disorders, although not always
present with the two signs. Dehydration is related to fluid
balance and is unrelated to petechiae and ecchymoses.
Hypertension is an elevation of the blood pressure, which
is also unrelated.
Which of the following describes a patient suffering from
mastitis?
1. Hard, painful nipple, and galactostasis.
2. Hypocalcemia, muscle spasms, fever, tachycardia, and
seizures.

3. In hard labor for 30 to 60 minutes with no new young
produced.
4. Vaginal discharge, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
anorexia, polyuria, and polydipsia. - ANSWER-Hard,
painful nipple and galactostasis
Mastitis results in hard, painful nipple, and galactostasis
(loss of milk production). Eclampsia is a condition of
hypocalcemia arising from lactation, resulting in muscle
spasms, fever, tachycardia, and seizures. Hard labor for
30 to 60 minutes with no new young is a form of dystocia.
Vaginal discharge, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
anorexia, polyuria, and polydipsia are all signs of
pyometra.
Which of the following is least likely to be available for at-
home induction of emesis?
1. Apomorphine
2. Syrup of ipecac
3. Hydrogen peroxide
4. Salt - ANSWER-Apomorphine
Which of the following is a needle driver that is also able to
cut suture material?
,3|Page
1. Olsen-Hegar
2. Mayo-Hegar
3. Adson-Brown
4. Rochester-Pean - ANSWER-Olsen-Hegar
Olsen-Hegar devices are needle holders with scissors set
behind the jaws. The Mayo-Hager is only a needle driver.
Brown-Adson forceps are tissue holders, and Rochester-
Pean are hemostatic forceps.
The process of voice production usually begins in which
location?
1. Pharynx
2. Larynx
3. Thorax
4. Trachea - ANSWER-Larynx
Voice production is called phonation and it typically begins
in the larynx, also known as the voice box. Other
structures such as the thorax, nose, mouth, pharynx, and
, 4|Page
sinuses may contribute resonance and other
characteristics to the vocal cords.
The instrument used to measure pocket depth is a
periodontal _________________.
1. Explorer
2. Scaler
3. Curette
4. Probe - ANSWER-Probe
The periodontal probe is an instrument that measures the
gingival sulcus for any abnormal depths >3 mm in a dog
and 0.5-1.0 mm in a cat. The periodontal probe is also
used to measure how much gingival recession or gingival
hyperplasia is affecting the tooth. The periodontal probe is
marked in mm at 1 mm or 3 mm intervals. Curettes are
used to remove calculus, debris, and granulation tissue
below the gum line or subgingivally. The curette is made
with a rounded tip and a rounded back to facilitate
insertion below the gum line without causing trauma. A
dental explorer is used to check the tooth surface for any
irregularities from an enamel fracture to pulp exposure in a
fractured tooth. The working end of the explorer is a fine
wire made to alert the handler that there is a defect by
