Exercise K Q&A
After routine breast self-examination, Nora felt a small lump in her breast. She
consulted her doctor who scheduled a diagnostic ( Mammoplasty, Mastectomy,
mammogram). The examination showed a stellate (star-shaped) mass, and a (biopsy,
necropsy, laparoscopy) revealed an infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Nora decided to have
her breast removed (hysterectomy, mastectomy, salpingectomy), although her physician
gave him the option of having lumpectomy followed by (cryotherapy, thoracotomy,
radiotherapy). - (correct answer)mammogram,biopsy, mastectomy,radiotherapy
In Addition to her surgery, Nora had a sentinel node biopsy of a/an (inguinal, thoracic,
axillary) lymph node to determine whether cancer had spread. Injection of contrast
revealed the primary (sentinel) lymph node, which was removed and microscopically
examined - (correct answer)axillary
Victoria had never been comfortable with the bump on her nose. She saw a plastic
surgeon, who performed (mammoplasty, rhinoplasty, angioplasty). - (correct
answer)rhinoplasty
Sylvia had irregular bleeding in between her periods. She was 50 years old and
beginning menopause. On pelvic exam, Dr. Hawk felt a large, lobulated uterus. Biopsy
revealed a; large fibroid, which is a benign (noncancerous) tumor of muscle tissue
(myeloma, myoma, hematoma). The doctor discussed three surgical options: Removal
of the fibroid, Blockage of blood flow to the fibroid (embolization), or a total abdominal
(gastrectomy, Hysterectomy, cholecystectomy). - (correct answer)myoma,Hysterectomy
Sam was experiencing cramps, diarrhea, and a low-grade fever. He was diagnosed with
ulcerative (colitis, meningitis, laryngitis) and had several bouts of (uremia, menorrhagia,
septicemia) caused by inflammation and rupture of the bowel wall. - (correct
answer)colitis,septicemia
Bill felt chest pain every time he climbed a flight of stairs. He went to his doctor, who did
a coronary (myelogram, angiogram, dialysis), which revealed (adenocarcinoma,
nephrosis, atherosclerosis) in one of his coronary arteries. The doctor recommended
(angioplasty, thoracentesis, amniocentesis). This would prevent further (myosarcoma,
ischemia, leukocytosis) and help Bill avoid a (peritoneal, vascular, myocardial) infarction
