D027 Practice Exam # 2 questions and
well answered and verified answers
100%!! pass guaranteed!
1.During the body's inflammatory process, what causes edema? Vasodilation of
blood vessels
Emigration of neutrophils
Endothelial cell expansion
Increased capillary permeability - CORRECT ANSWER-Increased capillary
permeability. The increased flow and capillary permeability result in a leakage of
plasma from the vessels causing swelling (edema) in the surrounding tissue and
is solely responsible for inflammation induced edema
2.A 56-year-old diabetic patient has not taken his insulin in 4 days due to him
"feeling well without it". He is admitted to the ED with an elevated blood sugar.
What electrolyte should be assessed FIRST? - CORRECT ANSWER-Calcium
Sodium
Potassium
Chloride
,ANS: Potassium. Insulin facilitates the intracellular transport of potassium,
phosphate, and magnesium. Without insulin, potassium does not get
transported to the intracellular environment and the serum potassium will rise.
3.A 46-year-old women is considering having another child. The healthcare
providers are explaining to the woman that children born to women late in life
have an increase rate in having children with which condition. - CORRECT
ANSWER-Kawasaki's disease
Down syndrome
Down syndrome risk increases with Maternal age.
Klinefelter syndrome
Turner syndrome
4.A patient with several risk factors is concerned about developing type 2
diabetes. The healthcare professional advises the patient to lose weight,
explaining that obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus
because it causes what? - CORRECT ANSWER-Reduced insulin production by the
pancreas
Increased resistance to insulin in the cells
, People with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from insulin resistance. Obesity
causes this resistance so their cells have difficulty using insulin. Obesity does not
lead to reduced insulin production, obstructed insulin outflow, or stimulation of
glucose production.
Obstructed outflow of insulin from the pancreas
Stimulation of glucose production by the liver
5.When evaluating a patient for hypertensive target organ damage, the APRN
looks for evidence of: - CORRECT ANSWER-Lipid abnormality
Insulin resistance
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Clotting disorders
6.On ultrasound a patient had 4-chamber dilation with an ejection fraction of
15% and a pleural effusion on chest x-ray. Elevated liver function tests,
hypokalemia, and hypomagnesema are seen on lab results. Blood pressure is
115/60 and heart rate is 110 bpm with regular rate and rhythm, respiratory rate
30 bpm and O2 saturation is 88% on room air. Initial therapy should include all
of the following except: - CORRECT ANSWER-Diuretic
