Which patient is most at risk for Cholelithiasis?
A: A 20-year-old male who exercises daily and strictly watches
his diet
B: A 40-year-old female who has 5 children and has decided to
use oral contraceptives
C: A 10-year-old female with newly-developed hypotension
D: A 15 year-old male who has been experiencing periods of
dizziness over the past few days and has not taken medication
for it - CORRECT ANSWER-B is correct. The information
included in this answer that indicates risk for cholelithiasis is the
fact that she has multiparity and her use of oral contraceptives.
All of the other answer choices do not contain risk factors
related to calculi formation.
DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) - PATHO -
CORRECT ANSWER-This condition involves excessive
bleeding and excessive coagulation, it occurs from a
complication of numerous primary problems, which activate the
clotting process in the micro circulation throughout the body.

The primary conditions causing DIC can trigger the release of
tissue thromboplastin or injury to the endothelial cells, causing
platelet adhesion. This process causes multiple thromboses and
infarctions but also consumes the available clotting factors
which results in hemorrhage, hypotension or shock. Examples of
primary conditions that can cause DIC include: obstetric
complications (like placental abruption), infection, major
trauma, and cancer.
DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) - Maifestations -

DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) - Complications -
CORRECT ANSWER-Ischemia and multiple infarctions
excessive bleeding and hemorrhageand organ failure
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation is a condition that is
often life threatening, this condition can arise from different
physiologic problems, which one of the answers below is not a
primary reason for DIC
a) extensive endothelial damage
b) release of tissue thromboplastin
c) hypertension from CVD
d) obstetric complication - CORRECT ANSWER-C is the
correct answer because hypertension is not PRIMARY reason
for DIC comparing these answers to A, B, and D you can see
that these are direct primary causes of DIC
Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease - PATHO -
CORRECT ANSWER-Rheumatic fever is an acute systemic
inflammatory condition that appears to result from abnormal
immune reaction occurring a few weeks after an untreated
infection usually caused by certain strains of group A beta-
hemolytic Streptococcus. It usually occurs in children ages 5 to
15 years of age. The infection commonly appears as an upper
respiratory infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or strep throat).

Antibodies to the streptococcus organism form as usual and then
react with connective tissue in the skin, joints, brain, and heart
causing inflammation. The heart is the only site where scar
tissue occurs causing rheumatic heart disease.
Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease - Manifestations
- CORRECT ANSWER-Rheumatic fever: Low-grade fever,
leukocytosis, malaise, anorexia and fatigue, tachycardia even at
rest is common, heart murmurs that indicate the site of
inflammation, epistaxis and abdominal pain possible.
Rheumatic heart disease: develops years later after rheumatic
fever; heart valve stenosis and heart failure can develop
Rheumatic Fever and Rheumatic Heart Disease - Complications
- CORRECT ANSWER-Acute heart failure may develop from
the dysrhythmias or severe valve distortion. Long-term,
damaged heart valves may need to be replaced
How would Rheumatic fever/Rheumatic heart disease be
treated?
A) Valve replacement
B)Penicillin V
