development of edema? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An 81-year-old man with right-

The family of a 68-year-old man who is in the end stages of small cell lung
cancer is distraught at his visible body wasting that has worsened in recent
weeks. Which of the following phenomena best accounts for the patient's
anorexia and cachexia? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Products of the tumor itself as
well as a hypermetabolic state cause cachexia
Which of the following statements best conveys an aspect of the respiratory
pressures that govern ventilation?
,Question options: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Negative intrapleural pressure holds the
lungs against the chest wall
Increased thrombopoietin levels - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Following a course of
measles, a 5-year-old girl developed scattered bruising over numerous
body surfaces and was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura
(ITP). As part of her diagnostic workup, blood work was performed. Which
of the following results is most likely to be considered unexpected by the
health care team?
Which of the following situations related to the transition from fetal to
perinatal circulation would be most likely to necessitate medical
intervention? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Pulmonary vascular resistance, related to
muscle regression in the pulmonary arteries, rises over the course of the
infant's first week.
At which of the following locations in the nephron would a nurse practitioner
first expect blood to be largely free of plasma proteins? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Bowman Space
A 51-year-old female patient who is 2 days postoperative on a surgical unit
of a hospital is at risk for developing atelectasis as a result of being largely
,immobile. Which of the following teaching points by her nurse practitioner is
most appropriate?
Question options: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔"You should breathe deeply and cough
to help your lungs expand as much as possible while you're in bed."
A 66-year-old patient's echocardiogram reveals a hypertrophied left
ventricle, normal chamber volume, and a normal ejection fraction from the
heart. What is this patient's most likely diagnosis? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Aortic
valve stenosis
"Stem cells can be used as a source of reserve cells for the entire blood
production system." - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A couple who are expecting their first
child have been advised by friends to consider harvesting umbilical cord
blood in order to have a future source of stem cells. The couple have
approached their nurse practitioner with this request and are seeking
clarification of exactly why stem cells are valuable and what they might
expect to gain from harvesting them. How can the nurse practitioner best
respond to the couple's inquiry?
A child possesses a trait that is the result of the interaction of two different
genes, neither of which could have produced the trait independently. Which
of the following explanations best captures the genetic explanation for this?

collaborative genes.
A 55-year-old man has made an appointment to see his nurse practitioner
because he has been awakening three to four times nightly to void and
often has a sudden need to void with little warning during the day. What is
the man's most likely diagnosis and possible underlying pathophysiologic
problem? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Overactive bladder that may result from both
neurogenic and myogenic sources
As a result of dehydration, a patient's epithelial cells are producing
insufficient amounts of mucus. Consequently, the patient's mucociliary
blanket is compromised. Which of the following changes would a care
provider most reasonably anticipate as a direct result of this change? - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔Increased amounts of bacteria in the lungs. The primary role
of the mucociliary blanket is to trap foreign particles and bacteria and thus
prevent their entry into the lungs. The impaired ciliary function may result in
an inadequate mucociliary blanket, but the opposite relationship is unlikely.
Decreased oxygen and increased carbon dioxide levels may eventually
result, but not as a direct or immediate consequence.
