UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Question 1.
What causes rigid abdomen in Peritonitis?
Answer: Develops because of a reflexive abdominal muscle spasm that occurs.
Inflamed tissue creates abdominal tenderness and pain that worsen with
movement
Question 2.
What disorder results in Mechanical Bowel Obstruction?
Answer: Intestinal Obstruction
Question 3.
The cause of Hiatal Hernia
Answer: Occurs when a section of the stomach protrudes upward through an
opening (hiatus) in the diaphragm toward the thoracic cavity. The hiatus
develops from weakening of the diaphragm muscle, frequently resulting from
increased intrathoracic pressure (e.g., coughing, vomiting, or straining to
defecate) or increased intra-abdominal pressure (e.g., pregnancy and
obesity). Other causes of a hiatus include trauma and congenital defects.
Question 4.
Cause of diarrhea with antibiotic ingestion
Answer: Antibiotics destroy some of these bacteria, which allow other types to
grow too much. In some cases, antibiotics can allow a type of bacteria called
Clostridioides difficile to grow too much. This can lead to severe, watery, and
often bloody diarrhea called pseudomembranous colitis
• Causative of Peptic Ulcer Disease Answer: Develops because of an imbalance
between destructive forces (e.g., excess acid production) and protective
mechanisms (e.g., decreased mucus production) induced by a secondary
process rather than an innate defect. The most common causes of peptic
ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and
long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as
ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve)
Question 5.
Cause of Chronic Pancreatitis
Answer: Alcoholism
, Question 6.
Define Intussusception
Answer: Telescoping of a portion of the intestine into another portion
Question 7.
Cause of Heartburn
Answer: Occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes, allowing the
acidic contents of the stomach to reflux into the esophagus. The most
common cause is food that's acidic or high in fat—like citrus fruits, tomatoes,
onions, chocolate, coffee, cheese, and peppermint. Spicy foods or large meals
can also be the root of distress. Other sources of heartburn include aspirin or
ibuprofen, as well as some sedatives and blood pressure medications.
Question 8.
Fecal Impaction/Mechanical Bowel Obstruction
Answer: Colon narrowed by scar tissue, Diverticulum filled with feces,
Inflammation, Telescoping of ileum inside adjacent section of colon, Blood
vessels drawn in between layers and compressed, and Ileum appendix
Question 9.
Cause of Acute Pancreatitis
Answer: Cholelithiasis
• Hepatitis A-E Answer: See notes
Question 10.
Cleft Lip and Palate
Answer: Cleft lip and palate are birth defects that occur when soft tissues of
the lip or mouth do not form properly. Cleft lip and palate may occur either
together or separately. These conditions usually develop in the second month
of pregnancy, when the fetus's facial structures are forming. Every year in the
United States, approximately 2,650 babies are born with cleft palate and
approximately 4,440 babies are born with a cleft lip with or without a cleft
palate. Maternal smoking, preexisting diabetes, and seizure medication use
(especially in the first trimester) are significant risk factors. Additionally,
these defects are more prevalent in Native Americans and Asian Americans,
with African Americans having the lowest prevalence.
The deformities with cleft lip and palate may be unilateral or bilateral. The
severity of the deformity ranges from a mild notch to involvement of the lip,
palate, and tongue (FIGURE 1-33). Feeding and nutritional issues may occur
because of these structural problems, which affect the ability to nurse and
eat.
