1. An environmental substance that triggers an allergic response is called an:
Antigen
Allergen
Pathogen
Antibody
2. Dominant indoor allergen is:
Pollen of ornamental plants
Moulds
House dust mites
Egg white
3. Describe the process of administering continuous nebulizer treatment for
acute bronchospasm, including the necessary components.
Continuous nebulizer treatment involves diluting albuterol with
saline and delivering it at an oxygen flow rate of 6 to 8 L/min.
Albuterol is delivered without dilution at a flow rate of 10 L/min.
The treatment requires only oxygen without any medication.
Nebulizer treatment is administered at a rate of 5 mg/hour with no
saline.
4. Describe the role of Mycoplasma in the development of atypical pneumonia.
Mycoplasma is a type of bacteria that only affects children.
, Mycoplasma is a virus that leads to severe respiratory distress.
Mycoplasma is a common cause of atypical pneumonia, known for
its ability to cause respiratory infections without the typical
symptoms of bacterial pneumonia.
Mycoplasma primarily causes gastrointestinal infections.
5. If a patient presents with a respiratory rate of 32, PEF of 55%, and oxygen
saturation of 88%, what level of asthma exacerbation are they likely
experiencing?
Mild asthma exacerbation
No exacerbation
Severe asthma exacerbation
Moderate asthma exacerbation
6. A patient experiences a severe allergic reaction after eating peanuts. What is
the most critical intervention to administer immediately?
Oxygen therapy
Epinephrine
Antihistamines
Intravenous fluids
7. Describe how pet dander can lead to allergic reactions in sensitive
individuals.
Pet dander can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals due
to the immune system's response to the proteins found in skin flakes,
saliva, and urine.
Pet dander is a type of food allergen that affects digestion.
, Pet dander is harmless and does not affect individuals with allergies.
Pet dander only causes reactions in individuals with asthma.
8. What is the recommended dosage of Atrovent for treating acute
bronchospasm?
1 mg oral tablet
2 mg injection
0.5 mg nebulizer solution with saline
0.25 mg inhaler
9. Describe the administration schedule for Atrovent in the context of acute
bronchospasm treatment.
Atrovent is administered once daily regardless of symptoms.
Atrovent can be given every 30 minutes up to 3 doses every 2-4
hours as needed.
Atrovent should be taken only when symptoms are severe.
Atrovent is given continuously without breaks.
10. If a patient presents with symptoms of atypical pneumonia, which diagnostic
test would be most appropriate to identify the causative agent?
Chest X-ray to identify fluid accumulation
Sputum culture for Streptococcus pneumoniae
Serological testing for Mycoplasma and Chlamydia
Complete blood count to check for leukocytosis
, 11. Describe the impact of cockroach allergens on asthma symptoms in urban
settings.
Cockroach allergens only affect individuals without asthma.
Cockroach allergens can worsen asthma symptoms, especially in
urban areas where exposure is higher.
Cockroach allergens improve asthma symptoms in urban
environments.
Cockroach allergens have no effect on asthma symptoms.
12. Which of the following is the most common cause of atypical pneumonia?
Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Mycobacterium leprae
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Bordetella pertussis
13. In the patient with poisoning, activated charcoal works by:
allowing the poison to be reabsorbed, causing dilution
absorbing most of the poison
causing the patient to vomit the poison
inactivating the chemical composite
14. If a patient experiencing acute bronchospasm does not respond to
bronchodilator treatment, what would be the next appropriate step in
management?
Administer systemic corticosteroids
Increase the dose of bronchodilators
