Wk- Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA is:
a. seronegative
b. seropositive - ANS B
To be diagnosed with RA a patient must be positive for one or both of which two antibodies: - ANS
Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and/or ACPA (anticitrullinated peptide antibody)
Which of the following is a diagnostic criterion for RA?
a. Elevated blood pressure
b. Positive rheumatoid factor (RF)
c. Low hemoglobin levels
d. Increased cholesterol levels - ANS B
The target tissue in rheumatoid arthritis is the: - ANS synovium
T/F RA primarily targets the synovial tissue in peripheral joints, excluding the hands and feet. - ANS False
Which antibodies are associated with RA?
a. ANA (Antinuclear Antibody)
b. RF (Rheumatoid Factor) and/or ACPA (Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody)
c. Anti-dsDNA (Anti-Double-Stranded DNA)
d. Anti-CCP (Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide) - ANS B
, T/F Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is characterized by targeting primarily the bones rather than the
synovium. - ANS False
Rheumatoid synovitis is the result of a ______ immune response to an antigen present in the synovial
membrane. - ANS cellular
Which is not a common site of RA:
a. wrist, knee, elbow
b. cervical spine
c. lumbar spine
d. GH and AC joints - ANS C
RA is most commonly seen in: - ANS 20-60 yrs
-female 3:1 before age 40
-1:1 female/male after 40
Juvinille RA is characterized by onset before age:
a. 10
b. 12
c. 14
d. 16 - ANS D
T/F - the morning stiffness associated with RA typically dissipates within 1 hour - ANS False- lasts more
than 2 hours
T/F Juvenile RA typically has an abrupt onset. - ANS False- it has an insidious onset
