DDx test 2 Exam Questions With Complete Solutions
Abdominal aorta width Correct Answer 3 cm
ABI test Correct Answer -supine
-BP cuffs over each brachial artery and above each malleous
-inflate 20mm Hg over occlusion point and deflate 2mm per
second
ABI values Correct Answer Strong independent predictors of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
acute bronchitis Correct Answer Fever, malaise, back pain,
sore throat
Acute cholangitis Correct Answer bacterial infection of the
biliary tract as a result of obstruction
acute obstructive pulmonary disease Correct Answer asthma-
tightened smooth muscles and air trapped in alveoli
Acute panceatitis Correct Answer Epigastric pain, nausea,
vomiting, fever and sweating, tachycardia, malaise, weakness
Acute suppurative cholangitis Correct Answer The presence of
pus in the biliary ducts may result in reynold's pentad: charcot's
triad plus hypotension & confusion
-invasion of bacteria from duodenum
acute venous disorders Correct Answer DVT and emboli
,Advanced stages of colorectal cancer Correct Answer
Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, wt loss, fatigue
and dyspnea
Affects of cystic fibrosis Correct Answer - sinus infections
- lungs have mucus build up and bacterial infections, widened
airway
-skin- salty sweat
-liver- blocked biliary ducts
-pancreas- blocked ducts
-intestines-cannot fully absorb nutrients
-reproductive organs- male and female complications
Apneustic breathing Correct Answer Abnormal respiration
marked by prolonged inspiration; accompanies damage to upper
pons.
Appendicitis Correct Answer inflammation of the appendix
Appendicitis symptoms Correct Answer -pain preceding
nausea and vomiting, periumbilical and RLQ paind, R thigh and
groin pain, low grade fever, rebound tenderness, positive
McBurney's point, positive hop test
Appendix pain referral Correct Answer R lumbar/ R iliac
region
arterial occlusive disease Correct Answer -acute or chronic
-caused by thrombi, trauma, atherosclerosis
,Ascites Correct Answer -Decrease in liver function combines
with portal hypertension to cause ascites symptoms
-portal hypertension is high pressure in the portal vein that
delivers blood to your liver
-can cause fluid to leak out of your veins and collect in belly
Asthma Correct Answer -hyper-reactivity and inflammation
-mucous has an amplified immunologic response
-mucosa becomes swollen and edematous and mucous increases
to rid the body of allergen
-wheezing, sob, cough, nostrils flare, pursed lip breathing
-exercise/strong emotions are triggers
atrial fibrillation Correct Answer most common type of cardiac
arrhythmia
Borderline occlusion ABI Correct Answer 0.91-99
bronchiectasis Correct Answer A chronic and necrotizing
condition of bronchi and bronchioles leading to their abnormal
dilations
Or
Abnormal, irreversible dilation and distortion of bronchi caused
by inflammatory destruction of the muscular and elastic
components of bronchi
Bronchiectasis symptoms Correct Answer Chronic wet cough,
hemoptysis, SOB, malaise, fatigue, less common with
antibiotics
, Bronchitis Correct Answer inflammation of the trachea and
bronchi
Can you treat people with liver disease? Correct Answer Yes
they might have their liver disease managed and have msk
dysfunctions
caput medusae Correct Answer Blood moves through a
different path because superficial veins cannot go through portal
system
car pulmonale Correct Answer -mostly idiopathic
-increased vascular resistance and narrowing
-thought to have molecular and genetic causes
-hypertrophy of smooth muscle, endothelial cells and adventitia
-right ventricle increases filling stroke volume further increasing
pulmonary arterial pressure
-right ventricle hypertrophy
Cardinal symptoms of vascular origin/ signs of CV disease
Correct Answer -chest pain
-palpitations
-dyspnea
-cardiac syncope
-fatigue
-cough
-cyanosis
-edema
-claudication
