Questions for the Respiratory System Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
In sickle cell anemia there is a greater incidence of gall stones. What other situation might confuse the diagnosis:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sickle cell anemia's gallstones (pigment stones) overlap with sickle cell crisis (B) both cause abdominal pain, jaundice (e.g., bilirubin >3 mg/dL), mimicking cholecystitis. Icterus (A) is a sign, not diagnosis. Joint pain (C) is articular. Coronary infarction (D) or perforated viscus differ chest, peritonitis. Crisis's vaso-occlusion confuses, key in nursing for imaging and pain differentiation.
