Advanced Pathophysiology Week 2 Quiz
Question 1
2 / 2 pts
Which are indications of dehydration?
Correct!
Tachycardia and weight loss
Decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit
Muscle weakness and decreased deep tendon reflexes
Polyuria and hyperventilation
Question 2
2 / 2 pts
At the arterial end of capillaries, fluid moves from the intravascular space into the interstitial space because the
interstitial hydrostatic pressure is higher than the capillary hydrostatic pressure.
capillary oncotic pressure is lower than the interstitial hydrostatic pressure.
interstitial oncotic pressure is higher than the interstitial hydrostatic pressure.
Correct!
capillary hydrostatic pressure is higher than the capillary oncotic pressure.
Question 3
2 / 2 pts
Which enzyme is secreted by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney when circulating blood volume is reduced?
Angiotensin II
Aldosterone
Angiotensin I
Correct!
Renin
Question 4
2 / 2 pts
In hyperkalemia, cardiac rhythm changes are a direct result of
Correct Answer
cardiac cell hypopolarization.
cardiac cell repolarization.
You Answered
cardiac cell hyperexcitability.
depression of the sinoatrial (SA) node.
Question 5
2 / 2 pts
Why are infants susceptible to significant losses in total body water (TBW)?
Because they are unable communicate adequately when they are thirsty
Because more than half of an infant’s body weight is water
Correct!
Because an infant’s kidneys are not mature enough to counter fluids losses
Because infants have a slow metabolic rate
Question 6
2 / 2 pts
Physiologic pH is maintained around 7.4 because bicarbonate (HCO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3) exist in a ratio of
1:20.
Correct!
20:1.
10:5.
10:2.
Question 7
2 / 2 pts
How does the loss of chloride during vomiting cause metabolic alkalosis?
Loss of chloride causes hydrogen to move into the cell and exchange with potassium to maintain cation balance.
Correct!
Loss of chloride causes retention of bicarbonate to maintain the anion balance.
Loss of chloride causes hypoventilation to compensate for the metabolic alkalosis.
Loss of chloride stimulates the release of aldosterone, which causes the retained sodium to bind with the chloride.
Question 8
2 / 2 pts
Which of the following is a true statement?
Hyperventilation results in an increased PaCO2.
Correct!
Hyperventilation causes hypocapnia.
Hyperventilation causes hypercapnia.
Hypoventilation causes hypocapnia.
Question 9
2 / 2 pts
_____ is a fulminant form of respiratory failure characterized by acute lung inflammation and diffuse alveolocapillary injury.
Acute pulmonary edema
Pneumonia
Correct!
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Pulmonary emboli
Question 10
2 / 2 pts
Clinical manifestations that include unexplained weight loss, dyspnea on exertion, use of accessory muscles, and tachypnea with prolonged expiration are indicative of
Correct!
emphysema.
asthma.
pneumonia.
chronic bronchitis.
Question 11
2 / 2 pts
Which inflammatory mediators are produced in asthma?
Correct!
Histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes
Bradykinin, serotonin, and neutrophil proteases
Neutrophil proteases, bradykinin, and histamine
Lymphokines, serotonin, and prostaglandins
Question 12
2 / 2 pts
A(n) _____ is a circumscribed area of suppuration and destruction of lung parenchyma.
empyema
consolidation
Correct!
abscess
cavitation
Question 13
2 / 2 pts
Which pleural abnormality involves a site of pleural rupture that act as a one-way valve, permitting air to enter on inspiration but preventing its escape by closing during expiration?
Correct!
Tension pneumothorax
Secondary pneumothorax
Open pneumothorax
Spontaneous pneumothorax
Question 14
2 / 2 pts
Kussmaul respirations may be characterized as a respiratory pattern
commonly observed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Correct!
with a slightly increased ventilatory rate, large tidal volumes, and no expiratory pause.
commonly observed in pulmonary fibrosis.
with alternating periods of deep and shallow breathing.
Question 15
2 / 2 pts
High altitudes may produce hypoxemia through
shunting.
Correct!
decreased inspired oxygen.
hypoventilation.
diffusion abnormalities.
Question 16
2 / 2 pts
In ARDS, alveoli and respiratory bronchioles fill with fluid as a result of the
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure that forces fluid into the alveoli and respiratory bronchioles.
Correct!
inactivation of surfactant and the impairment of type II alveolar cells.
compression on the pores of Kohn, thus preventing collateral ventilation.
increased capillary permeability, which causes alveoli and respiratory bronchioles to fill with fluid.
Question 17
2 / 2 pts
In tuberculosis, the body walls off the bacilli in a tubercle by stimulating
macrophages that release TNF-α.
formation of immunoglobulin G to initiate the complement cascade.
Correct!
apoptotic infected macrophages that activate cytotoxic T cells.
phagocytosis by neutrophils and eosinophils.
Question 18
2 / 2 pts
Clinical manifestations of pulmonary hypertension include
dyspnea on exertion and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.
productive cough and rhonchi bilaterally.
systemic blood pressure greater than 130/90.
Correct!
peripheral edema and jugular venous distention.
Question 19
2 / 2 pts
What is the primary cause of RDS of the newborn?
Correct!
A surfactant deficiency
An immature immune system
Anemia
Small alveoli
Question 20
2 / 2 pts
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a(n)
Correct!
autosomal recessive inheritance.
infection.
autosomal dominant inheritance.
malignancy.
Question 21
2 / 2 pts
An accurate description of childhood asthma is that it is a(n)
pulmonary disease characterized by severe hypoxemia, decreased pulmonary compliance, and diffuse densities on chest x-ray.
obstructive airway disease characterized by atelectasis and increased pulmonary resistance as a result of a surfactant deficiency.
pulmonary disorder involving an abnormal expression of a protein producing viscous mucus that lines the airways, pancreas, sweat ducts, and vas deferens.
Correct!
obstructive airway disease characterized by reversible airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperreactivity, and inflammation.
