Questions for the Respiratory System Questions
Question 1 of 5
A bloody pleural effusion may occur in:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bloody pleural effusion occurs in pulmonary infarction (A) and post-myocardial infarction (C) thus D (A & C). Infarction from embolism lyses RBCs into pleura; post-MI (e.g., Dressler's syndrome) involves inflammation, bleeding into pleural space. Cholesterol effusion (B) is chronic, crystalline, not bloody. Meig's syndrome (D) ovarian tumor-related causes transudative effusion, rarely hemorrhagic. A and C reflect acute vascular or inflammatory damage, yielding high RBC counts (>10,000/mm³), key in thoracentesis analysis to differentiate malignancy or trauma, guiding chest management.
Question 2 of 5
Match the following: 659. pneumothorax
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pneumothorax air in pleura links to emphysematous bleb , ruptured subpleural air sacs (e.g., COPD) collapsing lung. Friction rub (A) is pleuritis. CHF (B) causes effusion. Duct rupture (C) is chylothorax. Pseudomonas (D) ties to empyema. Bleb rupture's sudden dyspnea/hyperresonance is key, guiding chest tube insertion in emergency nursing.
Question 3 of 5
Match the following: 678. Prednisone
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prednisone, a corticosteroid, causes psychosis, peptic ulcer, osteoporosis glucocorticoid effects on CNS, gastric mucosa, and bone (e.g., 20% bone loss risk). Myelosuppression (A) fits cytotoxics. Protein defects (B) tie to asparaginase. Neuropathy (C) is vincristine. Cystitis (D) is cytoxan. Prednisone's side effects are key in nursing for steroid tapering and GI protection.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is true of hemophilia:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hemophilia typically A (factor VIII) features AHG (antihemophilic globulin) deficiency (B), prolonging aPTT (e.g., >50s), not PT (A factor VII, D). Factor V (C) is unrelated. None' dismisses. VIII deficiency causes joint bleeds, key in nursing for factor replacement and bleeding precaution education.
Question 5 of 5
In man the Ebstein-Barr virus is associated with which of the following disease:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) links to Burkitt's lymphoma (A B-cell malignancy) and infectious mononucleosis (C lymphocytosis, fever), thus D (A & C). Retropharyngeal cancer (B) lacks EBV association HPV or smoking dominate. All' overstates. EBV's oncogenic (Burkitt's) and infectious (mono) roles are key, guiding nursing for serology (e.g., VCA-IgM) and lymphoma staging.
