A patient who was involved in a fall from a tree becomes short of
breath. The lung sounds are absent on one side. This patient is
experiencing ________ shock.
-cardiogenic
-obstructive
-hypovolemic
-distributive - ANSWER-OBSTRUCTIVE
This type of obstructive shock is the result of a tension
pneumothorax and is caused by shifting and compression of
mediastinal structures including the heart, which compromise left
ventricular filling. Accumulation of air in the pleural space may
occur because of trauma. Prompt relief of the obstructive event is
necessary to restore cardiac output and prevent cardiovascular
collapse. Cardiogenic shock is not related to a traumatic event.
Hypovolemic shock results when circulating blood volume is
, Page |2
inadequate to perfuse tissues. Distributive shock is characterized
by an abnormally expanded vascular space caused by excessive
vasodilation.
The organism that causes pulmonary tuberculosis is:
-mycobacterium tuberculosis
-haemophilus tuberculosis
-tuberculosis tuberculosis
-mycococcidio tuberculosis - ANSWER-MYCOBACTERIUM
TUBERCULOSIS
Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes pulmonary tuberculosis.
Haemophilus tuberculosis, Tuberculosis tuberculoci, and
Mycococcidio tuberculosis do not cause pulmonary tuberculosis.
The characteristic x-ray findings in tuberculosis include:
-diffuse white-out
, Page |3
-ghon tubercles
-bibasilar infiltrates
-tracheal deviation - ANSWER-GHON TUBERCLES
Tuberculosis results in Ghon tubercles that show up as nodules
with infiltrates. Diffuse white-out, basilar infiltrates, and tracheal
deviation are not characteristic x-ray findings in tuberculosis.
Red blood cells obtain nearly all their energy from metabolism of:
-glucose
-fats
-proteins
-acetyl coenzyme A - ANSWER-GLUCOSE
For RBCs to survive and perform efficiently, they must have a
source of energy. Essential for red blood cell viability is the
glucose that is used for metabolism. RBC membrane structures
are formed from double layer of phospholipids. Fats do not
provide energy to red blood cells. A protein network on the
, Page |4
surface of the membrane is important for cell structure, but does
not provide energy for red blood cell production and maintenance.
Acetyl coenzyme A is not a factor in providing energy to the red
blood cells.
Hyperaldosteronism causes:
-ECV deficit and hyperkalemia
-ECV excess and hypokalemia
-hyponatremia and hyperkalemia
-excessive water reabsorption without affecting sodium
concentration - ANSWER-ECV EXCESS & HYPOKALEMIA
Hyperaldosteronism causes excessive renal retention of sodium
and water and excessive potassium excretion, which lead to ECV
excess and hypokalemia. Hyperaldosteronism does not cause
ECV deficit, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, or excessive water
reabsorption without affecting sodium concentration.
