he used to be able to. You know that normal
changes associated with aging include:
(Select all that apply.)
A. Improved blood flow
B.Slowed metabolic rate

,A 20-year-old college student has A
presented to her campus medical clinic for a

care because their daughter has admitted to Lead -> anemia,
RBC lysis chewing and swallowing imported toy
figurines that have been determined to be You know it's not A because there is no infection involved. C
is made of lead. Which of the following blood focused on kidney function while D is focused on
liver
tests should the care team prioritize? function. Both of these would be important in the case of lead
poisoning BUT the priority answer is B, because you need first
A. White blood cell levels with differential to address the most life-threatening patient needs. The little
B.Red blood cell levels and morphology girl in this question can go into shock or suffer permanent
C. Urea and creatinine levels organ damage if her RBCs are low.
D.Liver function panel
A patient with severe peripheral vascular
B disease has developed signs of dry
gangrene on the great toe of one foot. Remember that it's not C because to have gangrene, you
must Which of the following pathophysiologic have infection
processes most likely contributed to this
diagnosis?
A. Inappropriate activation of apoptosis
B.Bacterial invasion
C. Impaired arterial blood supply
D.Metaplastic cellular changes
Although stress exposure initiates integratedC
responses by multiple systems, the most
important changes are first activated by
which system?
A. Pulmonary
B.Gastrointestinal
C. Neuroendocrine
D.Cardiovascular
Which manifestation of stress reflects the
D non-specific fight or flight response?
This would fall under physiologic responses to stress!! Slide 25
A. Decreased pupillary light response in your lecture powerpoint
B.Increased GI motility
C. Decreased short-term memory
D.Increased cardiopulmonary rates
, Stress-induced cortisol hormone secretion
B is associated with:
A. Increased growth hormone level You know it's not A because I mentioned in an earlier slide
B.Regulation of the stress response that growth hormone levels decrease with stress. We didn't
C. Increased thyroid-stimulating hormone mention thyroid-stimulating hormone as one of the ones
D.Depressed adrenal gland function associated with the stress repsonse so you can pretty much
assume that's not right. And we know adrenal function is not
depressed because ACTH from the anterior pituitary
stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol.

Two people experience the same stressor A
yet only one is able to cope and adapt
adequately. An example of the person with Back to mediating factors. Which of these things do you think
an increased capacity to adapt is the one would help a person deal with stress? Disruption in sleep
with: cycle (B) will definitely not help, age-related renal dysfunction
(C) is an indicator of poor health status which also would not
A. A sense of purpose in life help, and excessive weight changes (D) are also likely to
B.Circadian rhythm disruption cause more stress than alleviate it.
C. Age-related renal dysfunction
D.Excessive weight gain or loss
The characteristic, localized cardinal signs A, C,
D of acute inflammation include: (Select all
that apply.)
A. Redness
B.Fatigue
C. Swelling
D.Warmth
