NR 507 Final Exam
Question 1
Tissue damage caused by the deposition of circulating immune complexes containing an
antibody against the host DNA is the cause of which disease?
Hemolytic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Myasthenia gravis
Only the deposition of circulating immune complexes containing an antibody against the
host DNA produce tissue damage in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE).
Question 2
,How does chest wall compliance in an infant differ from that of an adult?
An adult’s chest wall compliance is lower than an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is higher than an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is the same as an infant’s.
An adult’s chest wall compliance is dissimilar to that of an infant’s.
Chest wall compliance is higher in infants than it is in adults, particularly in premature
infants.
Question 3
What term is used to describe a hernial protrusion of a saclike cyst that contains
meninges, spinal fluid, and a portion of the spinal cord through a defect in a posterior
arch of a vertebra?
,Encephalocele
Meningocele
Spina bifida occulta
Myelomeningocele
Myelomeningocele is a hernial protrusion of a saclike cyst containing meninges, spinal
fluid, and a portion of the spinal cord with its nerves through a defect in the posterior arch
of a vertebra. The remaining options are not appropriate terms to identity the described
condition.
Question 4
Continued therapy of pernicious anemia (PA) generally lasts how long?
6 to 8 weeks
, 8 to 12 months
Until the iron level is normal
The rest of one’s life
Because PA cannot be cured, maintenance therapy is a life-long endeavor.
Question 5
Cytokines are thought to cause fevers by stimulating the synthesis of which chemical
mediator?
Leukotriene
Histamine
Prostaglandin
