QUIZ 1
What term is used to describe the selective bulbous enlargement of the distal
segment of a digit that is commonly associated with diseases that interfere with
oxygenation of the blood?
a. Edema
c. Angling
b. Clubbing
d. Osteoarthropath
--PRECISE ANSWER-- B
Clubbing is the selective bulbous enlargement of the end (distal segment) of
a digit (finger or toe) (see Figure 35-1) and is commonly associated with
diseases that interfere with oxygenation, such as bronchiectasis, cystic
fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, lung abscess, and congenital heart disease.
None of the remaining options are terms used to identify the condition
described
Which term is used to identify a circumscribed area of suppuration and
destruction of lung parenchyma?
a. Consolidation
c. Empyema
b. Cavitation
d. Abscess
--PRECISE ANSWER-- D
An abscess is a circumscribed area of suppuration and destruction of lung
parenchyma. The described pathologic abnormality is not associated with the
other option
Clinical manifestations of inspiratory and expiratory wheezing, dyspnea,
nonproductive cough, and tachypnea are indicative of which condition?
a. Chronic bronchitis
,c. Pneumonia
b. Emphysema
d. Asthma
--PRECISE ANSWER-- D
At the beginning of an attack, the individual experiences chest constriction,
expiratory wheezing, dyspnea, nonproductive coughing, prolonged
expiration, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Severe attacks involve the use of
accessory muscles of respiration, and wheezing is heard during both
inspiration and expiration. The presentations of none of the other options are
consistent with the described symptoms
Clinical manifestations of decreased exercise tolerance, wheezing, shortness of
breath, and productive cough are indicative of which respiratory disorder?
a. Chronic bronchitis
c. Pneumonia
b. Emphysema
d. Asthma
--PRECISE ANSWER-- A
The symptoms that lead individuals with chronic bronchitis to seek medical
care include decreased exercise tolerance, wheezing, and shortness of
breath. Individuals usually have a productive cough ("smoker's cough"). The
described symptoms are not associated with any of the other option
Clinical manifestations that include unexplained weight loss, dyspnea on
exertion, use of accessory muscles, and tachypnea with prolonged expiration
are indicative of which respiratory disorder?
a. Chronic bronchitis
c. Pneumonia
b. Emphysema
d. Asthma
--PRECISE ANSWER-- B
Individuals with emphysema usually have dyspnea on exertion that later
progresses to significant dyspnea, even at rest (see Table 35-3). Little
coughing and very little sputum are produced. The individual is often thin, has
tachypnea with prolonged expiration, and must use accessory muscles for
ventilation. The anteroposterior diameter of the chest is
, increased (barrel chest), and the chest has a hyperresonant sound with
percussion. The described symptoms are not associated with any of the other
options.
In tuberculosis, the body walls off the bacilli in a tubercle by stimulating which
action?
a. Macrophages that release tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)
b. Phagocytosis by neutrophils and eosinophils
c. Formation of immunoglobulin G to initiate the complement cascade
d. Apoptotic infected macrophages that activate cytotoxic T cell
--PRECISE ANSWER-- D
In defense, macrophages and lymphocytes release interferon, which inhibits
the replication of the microorganism and stimulates more macrophages to
attack the bacterium. Apoptotic infected macrophages can also activate
cytotoxic T cells (cluster of differentiation [CD] 8). Tuberculosis does not
trigger the mechanisms described by the other options.
Clinical manifestations of inspiratory crackles, increased tactile fremitus,
egophony, and whispered pectoriloquy are indicative of which respiratory
condition?
a. Chronic bronchitis
c. Pneumonia
b. Emphysema
d. Asthma
--PRECISE ANSWER-- C
Physical examination may reveal signs of pulmonary consolidation, such as
inspiratory crackles, increased tactile fremitus, egophony, and whispered
pectoriloquy, which support a diagnosis of pneumonia. The presentations of
the other options are not consistent with the described symptoms.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is best described as a tumor that causes
which alterations?
a. Abscesses and ectopic hormone production
b. Airway obstruction and atelectasis
c. Pleural effusion and shortness of breath
d. Chest wall pain and early metastasis
