CORRECT!!
1.During the body's inflammatory process, what causes edema? Vasodilation of
blood vessels
Emigration of neutrophils
Endothelial cell expansion
Increased capillary permeability - (ANSWER)Increased capillary permeability. The
increased flow and capillary permeability result in a leakage of plasma from the
vessels causing swelling (edema) in the surrounding tissue and is solely
responsible for inflammation induced edema
2.A 56-year-old diabetic patient has not taken his insulin in 4 days due to him
"feeling well without it". He is admitted to the ED with an elevated blood sugar.
What electrolyte should be assessed FIRST? - (ANSWER)Calcium
Sodium
Potassium
Chloride
ANS: Potassium. Insulin facilitates the intracellular transport of potassium,
phosphate, and magnesium. Without insulin, potassium does not get transported
to the intracellular environment and the serum potassium will rise.

3.A 46-year-old women is considering having another child. The healthcare
providers are explaining to the woman that children born to women late in life
have an increase rate in having children with which condition. -
(ANSWER)Kawasaki's disease
Down syndrome
Down syndrome risk increases with Maternal age.
Klinefelter syndrome
Turner syndrome
4.A patient with several risk factors is concerned about developing type 2
diabetes. The healthcare professional advises the patient to lose weight,
explaining that obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus
because it causes what? - (ANSWER)Reduced insulin production by the pancreas
Increased resistance to insulin in the cells
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from insulin resistance. Obesity causes
this resistance so their cells have difficulty using insulin. Obesity does not lead to
reduced insulin production, obstructed insulin outflow, or stimulation of glucose
production.
, 3
Obstructed outflow of insulin from the pancreas
Stimulation of glucose production by the liver
5.When evaluating a patient for hypertensive target organ damage, the APRN
looks for evidence of: - (ANSWER)Lipid abnormality
Insulin resistance
Left ventricular hypertrophy
Clotting disorders
6.On ultrasound a patient had 4-chamber dilation with an ejection fraction of 15%
and a pleural effusion on chest x-ray. Elevated liver function tests, hypokalemia,
and hypomagnesema are seen on lab results. Blood pressure is 115/60 and heart
rate is 110 bpm with regular rate and rhythm, respiratory rate 30 bpm and O2
saturation is 88% on room air. Initial therapy should include all of the following
except: - (ANSWER)Diuretic
ACE Inhibitor
