NSG 6420 WK1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the following in a patient with Anemia of
Chronic Disease (ACD):
A. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH decreased
B. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV increased, MCH increased
C. Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normal
D. Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH increased - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Hemoglobin <12 g/dl,
MCV normal, MCH normal
Rationale: Hemoglobin (Hgb): <12 g/dL (120 g/L) women <13 g/dL (130 g/L) men Rarely <10 g/dL (100
g/L) Mean corpuscular volume: 80-96 mcm3 (normocytic) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin Normochromic
(normal color) RBC distribution width: normal
Symptoms in the initial human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection include all of the following
except:
A. Sore throat
B. Fever
C. Weight loss
D. Headache - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅C. Weight loss
In AR disorders, carriers have:
A. Two mutated genes; two from one parent that cause disease
B. A mutation on a sex chromosome that causes a disease
C. A single gene mutation that causes the disease
D. One copy of a gene mutation but not the disease - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅D. One copy of a gene
mutation but not the disease
Rationale: Individuals who have an AR disorder have two mutated genes, one on each allele of the
chromosome. Parents of an affected person are called carriers because each parent carries one copy of
, the mutation on one chromosome and a normal gene on the other chromosome. Carriers typically are
not affected by the disease. In pedigrees with an AR inheritance patterns, males and females will be
equally affected because the gene mutation is on an autosome. Goolsby page 28
The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with aging is :
A. Reduced physiological reserve
B. Reduced homeostatic mechanisms
C. Impaired immunological response
D. All of the above - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅D. All of the above
Men have faster and more efficient biotransformation of drugs and this is thought to be due to:
A. Less obesity rates than women
B. Prostate enlargement
C. Testosterone
D. Less estrogen than women - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅C. Testosterone

A. Inhibited by drugs
B. Induced by drugs
