Question 1 of 5
UTI 118 Practice Exam II The methotrexate drug used to treat :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate is a chemotherapy medication that is commonly used in the treatment of various types of cancers, including leukemia. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects the white blood cells. Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth and division of cancer cells, thereby helping to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. It is not typically used to treat thalassemia, hemophilia, or sickle cell anemia, as these conditions are not cancers and require different types of treatment approaches.
Question 2 of 5
Which is a function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the newborn?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is specialized adipose tissue found in newborns and hibernating mammals, whose primary function is to generate heat through non-shivering thermogenesis. This heat generation is essential for maintaining body temperature in newborns, especially as they have a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, which results in greater heat loss compared to adults. BAT produces heat by metabolizing stored lipids and disrupting the normal process of cellular respiration, leading to the production of heat instead of ATP. The heat generated by BAT is then distributed throughout the body to help maintain a stable core body temperature in newborns, who are not yet able to regulate their body temperature as effectively as adults.
Question 3 of 5
Where would nonpathologic cyanosis normally be present in the newborn shortly after birth?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nonpathologic cyanosis in newborns shortly after birth is typically seen in the mucous membranes, such as the lips and oral mucosa. This transient cyanosis is caused by the normal physiologic response of the newborn's immature circulatory system adjusting to extrauterine life. As oxygenation improves and blood circulation stabilizes, the cyanosis will usually resolve within the first few days after birth. It is important for healthcare providers to distinguish between pathologic and nonpathologic cyanosis in newborns to ensure appropriate management and monitoring.

Question 5 of 5
Which bite causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by the bite of an infected tick. The bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii is transmitted to humans through the bite of the American dog tick, the Rocky Mountain wood tick, or the brown dog tick. These ticks are commonly found in wooded areas and attach themselves to the skin of humans or animals, transmitting the bacteria responsible for Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It is important to take precautions to prevent tick bites, such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants when in wooded areas, and conducting thorough tick checks after being outdoors.
