Unbound in the blood via the placenta
By direct inoculation with the fetal scalp electrodes exposed to maternal body fluids
Attached to immunoglobulin G (IgG) via the placenta
Predominantly through infected cervical and vaginal secretions during the birth process - CORRECT
ANS - Gonorrhea is found in body fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions. It can be transmitted
to an infant primarily through contact with the birth canal and affected secretions.
Vital capacity (VC) decreases throughout the life span. This is due to the expected aging change in the
adult where alveolar surface area Choose...increases decreases. - CORRECT ANS - decreases Less
matter means less surface area.
What increases as a result of pulmonary edema in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?
Oncotic pressure
Serum sodium and water levels
Capillary permeability
Capillary hydrostatic pressure - CORRECT ANS - ARDS is known to cause increased capillary
permeability, thereby causing an influx of fluid such as serum and water to pool inside the alveoli
leading to pulmonary edema
Which three symptoms can most likely be found in a child with croup?
Low-grade fever
Coarse rhonchi
Sore throat
Nasopharyngeal congestion
, Barking cough
Check My Answer - CORRECT ANS - Sore throat and low-grade fever are often seen with croup,
and a seal-like barking cough is pathognomonic for croup. Higher fevers are usually seen with
pneumonia.
Select three true statements regarding the infant's respiratory system.
Increased resiliency makes infants more tolerant of respiratory problems than older children.
Airway obstruction occurs sooner in infants than in older children.
Infants are obligatory nose breathers.
An adult's chest wall compliance is lower than an infant's.
A baby is born with all the alveoli he or she will ever have - CORRECT ANS - An adult's chest wall
compliance is lower than an infant's because bones are more pliable in children, resulting in greater
chest expansion. Infants are obligatory nose breathers; people learn to breathe through their mouths
with age and conditioning. Airway obstruction occurs sooner in infants than in older children because
infant airways are smaller and easier to obstruct with secretions.
How many months of unprotected intercourse with the same partner with an inability to conceive
would be considered infertility? - CORRECT ANS - Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive
after 12 months of unprotected intercourse with the same partner.
A student is learning about pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Which information about PID is correct?
An episode of mild PID can decrease the possibility of a successful pregnancy by 80%.
PID has not been associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Contracting this infection increases the risk of cervical cancer.
This inflammation results in permanent changes to the ciliated epithelium of the fallopian tubes. -
CORRECT ANS - PID results in permanent changes to the ciliated epithelium of the fallopian tubes.
The two students have clarified the information on PID.
Which factor increases the risk for ovarian cancer after the age of 40 years?
Prolonged lactation
Multiple pregnancies
