NURS 5220 Exam 1 Advanced Health Assessment : Key Questions And Answers (Verified Answers) With Rationales (Modules 2, Chapters 9-16) 1 1 Complete A+ Guide - UTA This Document Contains: ï• NURS 5220 Exam 1 ï• Key Questions And Answers (Verified Answers) With Rationales ï• Modules 2, Chapters 9-16 ï• University Of Texas — Arlington Exam ï• Complete A+ Guide ï• Multiple Choice (A-D) Questions NURS 5220: Com'prehensive Exam'ination Review Guide (M'odules 2, Chapters 9-16) Question 1 Which of the following differentiates the venous sy'stem'from'the arterial sy'stem'? A. Veins carry'ventricular blood and arteries carry'atrial blood. B. Veins transport nutrients and arteries transport waste m'aterial. C. Veins contain valves to keep blood flowing in one direction. D. Arteries can distend rapidly'to serve as a reservoir for excess blood. Correct Answer: C Rationale: The structure ofthe arteries and veins reflects their function. The arteries are thicker, with a greater sm'ooth m'uscle lay'er and less ability'to stretch and expand (distension) from' internal pressure. They'are subjected to m'uch m'ore pressure than are the veins. The veins are less sturdy'and m'ore distensible than the arteries. Venous return is less forceful than blood flow through the arteries, and veins contain valves to keep blood flowing in one direction. Ifblood volum'e increases significantly', the veins can expand and act as a repository'for extra blood. This com'pensatory'm'echanism'helps dim'inish stress on the heart. Question 2 M'rs. Jones presents to y'our office for a com'plaint of visual disturbances. On exam'ination, y'ou note an abnorm'al growth of conjunctiva from'the lim'bus over the cornea. Which term' best describes this condition? A. Ptery'gium' B. Arcus lim'bus C. Xanthelasm'a D. Episcleritis Correct Answer: A Rationale: A ptery'gium'is an abnorm'al growth ofconjunctiva that extends over the cornea from' the lim'bus. It occurs m'ore com'm'only'on the nasal side but m'ay'arise tem'porally'as well. A ptery'gium'is m'ore com'm'on in people heavily'exposed to ultraviolet light. It can interfere with vision if it advances over the pupil
