Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure in which:
A. Stem cells are transferred to the patient from an identical twin.
B. There is a high rejection rate.
C. Stem cells are harvested from the patient and then returned to the same
patient.
D. Stem cells are transferred to the patient from an HLA-matched donor. -
(ANSWER)C. Stem cells are harvested from the patient and then returned to the
same patient.
In autologous transplantation, the stem cells are collected from the patient's own
blood and then stored and reinfused in the same patient after chemotherapy and
radiation. The use of autologous transplants eliminates the problem of graft-
versus-host disease. Transplant from a closely matched donor is known as
allogeneic transplant. In autologous transplant, stem cells are used from the
patient's own blood.
Emesis causes:
,A. Metabolic alkalosis.
B. Respiratory acidosis.
C. Metabolic alkalosis.
D. Respiratory alkalosis. - (ANSWER)A. Metabolic alkalosis.
Emesis causes metabolic alkalosis as the stomach is a major reservoir for acids.
Emesis causes a metabolic acid-base imbalance as it is not related to the
respiratory system. Emesis involves loss of gastric acid and fluid and causes an
alkalotic disruption.
Which clinical finding is indicative of compartment syndrome?
A. Peripheral edema.
B. Redness and swelling.
C. Atrophy of distal tissues.
D. Absent peripheral pulses. - (ANSWER)D. Absent peripheral pulses.
,Compartment syndrome creates an effective absence of arterial circulation to an
extremity. Swelling within a cast or tight dressing may contribute to the
development of compartment syndrome. Compartment syndrome creates pallor
in the affected extremity. Acute arterial occlusion is an emergency, and could
result in profound ischemia in the involved limb.
A patient with a history of myocardial infarction continues to complain of
intermittent chest pain brought on by exertion and relieved by rest. The likely
cause of this pain is:
A. Unstable angina.
B. Coronary vasospasm.
C. Myocardial infarction.
D. Stable angina. - (ANSWER)D. Stable angina.
Stable angina is the most common form of chest pain and is characterized by pain
that is caused under conditions of increased myocardial workload, such as
physical exertion or emotional strain. Pain related to myocardial infarction is not
relieved by rest. Coronary vasospasm is characterized by unpredictable attacks of
angina pain. A patient with unstable angina presents with symptoms similar to
myocardial infarction.
, The assessment findings of a 5-year-old with a history of asthma include extreme
shortness of breath, nasal flaring, coughing, pulsus paradoxus, and use of
accessory respiratory muscles. There is no wheezing and the chest is silent in
many areas. How should you interpret your assessment?
A. Since there is not wheezing, asthma is the problem, but oxygen should be
started immediately anyway.
B. The child may be having such a severe asthma episode that the airways are
closed, so start oxygen and get the doctor immediately.
C. The child probably has consolidated pneumonia; oxygen should be started
immediately.
D. The signs and symptoms are consistent with asthma; start oxygen and then
check to see that your stethoscope is working properly. - (ANSWER)B. The child
may be having such a severe asthma episode that the airways are closed, so start
oxygen and get the doctor immediately.
The airway inflammation, edema, and bronchoconstriction of acute asthma may
occlude small airways completely, so that no air is moving, which requires
emergency intervention. Alicia has a history of asthma rather than pneumonia.
Asthma can occur without wheezing. This is an emergency situation that requires
you to start oxygen and notify the physician.
The hypersecretion of mucus resulting for chronic bronchitis is the result of:
