1. The characteristic, localized cardinal signs of acute inflammation include:
i i i i i i i i
A) fever.
B) fatigue.
C) redness.
D) granuloma.
2. The vascular, hemodynamic stage of acute inflammation is initiated by
i i i i i i i i i
imomentary vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation that causes localized:
i i i i i i i
A) bleeding.
B) congestion.
C) pale skin.
i
D) coolness.
3. The cellular stage of acute inflammation is marked by the movement of
i i i i i i i i i i i
ileukocytes into the area. Which of the following cells arrives early in great
i i i i i i i i i i i i
inumbers?
A) Basophils
B) Lymphocytes
C) Neutrophils
D) Platelets
4. The phagocytosis process involves three distinct steps. What is the initial step in
i i i i i i i i i i i i
ithe process?
i
A) Engulfment
B) Intracellular killing i
C) Antigen margination i
D) Recognition and adherence i i
5. Which of the following mediators of inflammation causes increased capillary
i i i i i i i i i
permeability and pain?
i i i
A) Serotonin
,B) Histamine
C) Bradykinin
D) Nitric oxide i
6. Inflammatory exudates are a combination of several types. Which of thei i i i i i i i i i
following exudates is composed of enmeshed necrotic cells?
i i i i i i i i
A) Serous
B) Fibrinous
C) Suppurative
D) Membranous
7. The acute-phase systemic response usually begins within hours of the onset
i i i i i i i i i i
i of inflammation and includes: A) fever and lethargy.
i i i i i i i
B) decreased C-reactive protein. i i
C) positive nitrogen balance. i i
D) low erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
i i i
8. In contrast to acute inflammation, chronic inflammation is characterized by
i i i i i i i i i
which of the following phenomena?
i i i i i
A) Profuse fibrinous exudation i i
B) A shift to the left of granulocytes
i i i i i i
C) Metabolic and respiratory alkalosis i i i
D) Lymphocytosis and activated macrophages i i i
9. Exogenous pyrogens (interleukin-1) and the presence of bacteria in the
i i i i i i i i i
blood lead to the release of endogenous pyrogens that: A) stabilize thermal control
i i i i i i i i i i i i i
in the brain.
i i i
B) produce leukocytosis and anorexia. i i i
C) block viral replication in cells.
i i i i
D) inhibit prostaglandin release. i i
10. An older adult patient has just sheared the skin on her elbow while attempted
i i i i i i i i i i i i i
to boost herself up in bed, an event that has precipitated acute inflammation in
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
the i
, region surrounding the wound. Which of the following events will occur during
i i i i i i i i i i i
the vascular stage of the patients inflammation?
i i i i i i i
A) Outpouring of exudate into interstitial spaces i i i i i
B) Chemotaxis
C) Accumulation of leukocytes along the epithelium i i i i i
D) Phagocytosis of cellular debris i i i
11. Which of the following individuals most likely has the highest risk of
i i i i i i i i i i i
experiencing chronic inflammation?
i i i
A) A patient who has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
i i i i i i i i i i
B) A patient who is a carrier of an antibiotic-resistant organism
i i i i i i i i i
C) A patient who is taking oral antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection
i i i i i i i i i i i
D) A patient who is morbidly obese and who has a sedentary lifestyle
i i i i i i i i i i i
12. Which of the following core body temperatures is within normal range?
i i i i i i i i i i
A) 35.9C (96.6F) i
B) 38.0C (100.4F) i
C) 35.5C (95.9F) i
D) 37.3C (99.1F) i
13. A postsurgical patient who is recovering in the postanesthetic recovery unit
i i i i i i i i i i
states that she is freezing cold. Which of the following measures is likely to
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
be initiated in the patients hypothalamus in an effort to reduce heat loss?
i i i i i i i i i i i i i
A) Opening of arteriovenous (AV) shunts i i i i
B) Reduced exhalation of warmed air i i i i
C) Contraction of pilomotor muscles i i i
D) Decreased urine production i i
14. An elderly patient is dressed only in a hospital gown and complains of a draft
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
in her room. Consequently, she has requested a warm blanket while she sits in
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i
her wheelchair. Which of the following mechanisms of heat loss is most
i i i i i i i i i i i i
likely the primary cause of her request?
i i i i i i i
A) Evaporation and conduction i i
