a. respiratory depression.
b. narcotic dependency.
c. sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
d. allergic reaction.
a. Cough
b. Dyspnea
d. Crackles in lungs - correct answer ✔✔ A patient is admitted to the hospital with left-sided
heart failure. Which clinical manifestation would the nurse expect the client to exhibit? (Select
all that apply.)
a. Cough
b. Dyspnea
c. Bradypnea
d. Crackles in lungs
e. Peripheral edema
c. Early detection
Early detection of cancer, while it remains localized, is associated with the best prognosis for a
cure. The majority of patients with solid tumors are treated surgically, which can be curative in
some localized cancers. Ionizing radiation is used for two principal reasons: to kill tumor cells
that are not resectable because they are located in a vital or inaccessible area, and to kill tumor
,cells that may have escaped the surgeon's knife and remain undetected in the local area.
Chemotherapeutic agents are not selective for tumor cells, and a certain amount of normal cell
death also occurs. - correct answer ✔✔ Which offers the best prognosis for the cure of cancer?
a. Surgery
b. Radiation
c. Early detection
d. Chemotherapeutic agents
c. Hypertrophy - correct answer ✔✔ A heart that has to pump harder in order to effectively
circulate blood is likely to undergo which type of cellular adaptation?
a. Atrophy
b. Metaplasia
c. Hypertrophy
d. Hyperplasia
b. Hesitancy
d. Weak urine flow
e. Incomplete bladder emptying - correct answer ✔✔ A characteristic of benign prostatic
hypertrophy includes which of the following? (Select all that apply.)
a. Urgency
b. Hesitancy
c. Low back pain
d. Weak urine flow
e. Incomplete bladder emptying
a. Simultaneous symmetric swelling of joints
b. Soft-tissue swelling of at least three joints
,c. Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules
e. Morning stiffness in joints - correct answer ✔✔ What are the criteria for diagnosing
rheumatoid arthritis? (Select all that apply.)
a. Simultaneous symmetric swelling of joints
b. Soft-tissue swelling of at least three joints
c. Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules
d. Swelling of at least one wrist joint
e. Morning stiffness in joints
b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an irregular ventricular rate
- Atrial fibrillation is described as disorganized and irregular atrial waves accompanied by an
irregular ventricular rate.
- Escape rhythms can present with a P wave that precedes, follows, or is buried in the QRS
complex.
- Atrial flutter is typically manifested by a rapid atrial rate of 240 to 350 beats/min and a
characteristic saw-tooth pattern of atrial depolarizations.
- Premature atrial complexes (PAC) are characterized by P waves that occur earlier than normal,
preceded by a P wave with a normal QRS configuration. - correct answer ✔✔ Atrial fibrillation is
best described as when
a. The P wave precedes, follows, or is buried in the QRS complex
b. Disorganized and irregular atrial waves are accompanied by an irregular ventricular rate
c. An atrial rate of 240 to 350 beats/min in a sawtooth pattern of atrial depolarization is seen
d. P waves occurs earlier than normal, preceded by a P wave with a normal QRS configuration
d. Stroke volume and heart rate - correct answer ✔✔ Cardiac output is the product of both
a. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
b. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and pulse pressure
, c. Pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure (MAP)
d. Stroke volume and heart rate
d. The majority of the patients test positive for rheumatoid factor. - correct answer ✔✔ Which
statement is true regarding rheumatoid arthritis?
a. It is a localized disease.
b. Its prevalence is affected by climate.
c. It affects men three times more than women.
d. The majority of the patients test positive for rheumatoid factor.
b. Physiology - correct answer ✔✔ The study of specific characteristics and functions of a living
organism and its parts is called
a. Psychiatry
b. Physiology
c. Homeostasis
d. Pathophysiology
d. It is the most common genetic disease in the United States. - correct answer ✔✔ Which
statement is true regarding cystic fibrosis?
a. It is autosomal-dominant.
b. It affects endocrine glands.
c. It is common in African Americans.
d. It is the most common genetic disease in the United States.
b. Platelets
c. Monocytes
