PATHO 370 MIDTERM EXAM 2025 |
GUARANTEED ACCURATE
ANSWERS
Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure in which:
A. Stem cells are transferred to the patient from an identical twin.
B. There is a high rejection rate.
C. Stem cells are harvested from the patient and then returned to the
same patient.
D. Stem cells are transferred to the patient from an HLA-matched donor.
- ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ C. Stem cells are harvested from the
patient and then returned to the same patient.
In autologous transplantation, the stem cells are collected from the
patient's own blood and then stored and reinfused in the same patient
after chemotherapy and radiation. The use of autologous transplants
eliminates the problem of graft-versus-host disease. Transplant from a
closely matched donor is known as allogeneic transplant. In autologous
transplant, stem cells are used from the patient's own blood.
,Emesis causes:
A. Metabolic alkalosis.
B. Respiratory acidosis.
C. Metabolic alkalosis.
D. Respiratory alkalosis. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A. Metabolic
alkalosis.
Emesis causes metabolic alkalosis as the stomach is a major reservoir for
acids. Emesis causes a metabolic acid-base imbalance as it is not related
to the respiratory system. Emesis involves loss of gastric acid and fluid
and causes an alkalotic disruption.
Which clinical finding is indicative of compartment syndrome?
A. Peripheral edema.
B. Redness and swelling.
C. Atrophy of distal tissues.
,D. Absent peripheral pulses. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ D. Absent
peripheral pulses.
Compartment syndrome creates an effective absence of arterial
circulation to an extremity. Swelling within a cast or tight dressing may
contribute to the development of compartment syndrome. Compartment
syndrome creates pallor in the affected extremity. Acute arterial
occlusion is an emergency, and could result in profound ischemia in the
involved limb.
A patient with a history of myocardial infarction continues to complain
of intermittent chest pain brought on by exertion and relieved by rest.
The likely cause of this pain is:
A. Unstable angina.
B. Coronary vasospasm.
C. Myocardial infarction.
D. Stable angina. - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ D. Stable angina.
Stable angina is the most common form of chest pain and is
characterized by pain that is caused under conditions of increased
, myocardial workload, such as physical exertion or emotional strain. Pain
related to myocardial infarction is not relieved by rest. Coronary
vasospasm is characterized by unpredictable attacks of angina pain. A
patient with unstable angina presents with symptoms similar to
myocardial infarction.
The assessment findings of a 5-year-old with a history of asthma include
extreme shortness of breath, nasal flaring, coughing, pulsus paradoxus,
and use of accessory respiratory muscles. There is no wheezing and the
chest is silent in many areas. How should you interpret your assessment?
A. Since there is not wheezing, asthma is the problem, but oxygen
should be started immediately anyway.
B. The child may be having such a severe asthma episode that the
airways are closed, so start oxygen and get the doctor immediately.
C. The child probably has consolidated pneumonia; oxygen should be
started immediately.
D. The signs and symptoms are consistent with asthma; start oxygen and
then check to see that your stethoscope is working properly. -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ B. The child may be having such a severe
asthma episode that the airways are closed, so start oxygen and get the
doctor immediately.
