Question 1 of 5
Which of the following infants is least probable to develop sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sibling of Baby Angie who died of SIDS is the least probable to develop sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) among the given choices. This is because siblings of infants who have died of SIDS are at a higher risk themselves due to potential genetic or environmental factors. Research suggests that siblings of infants who died of SIDS are at an increased risk compared to the general population, indicating a possible genetic predisposition or shared environmental influences. It is crucial for parents and caregivers of these siblings to take extra precautions and follow safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of SIDS.
Question 2 of 5
A baby that was born 5 minutes earlier is tachypneic, tachycardic, and markedly cyanotic. A STAT echocardiogram confirms the presence of a cyanotic congenital cardiac defect. Which of the following defects would be consistent with the assessment findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Transposition of the great vessels is a cyanotic congenital heart defect where the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. This results in two separate circulatory systems - one for oxygenated blood and another for deoxygenated blood. Due to this abnormal circulation, babies with transposition of the great vessels may present with severe cyanosis soon after birth. They can also develop tachypnea and tachycardia as compensatory mechanisms to maintain oxygen delivery. A STAT echocardiogram would confirm the diagnosis by showing the abnormal connection of the great vessels.
Question 3 of 5
All the following are Test results seen in JRA EXCEPT :
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), previously known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects children. In JIA, common test results include an increase in ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), positive RF (Rheumatoid Factor), and positive IgM & IgG antibodies. However, a positive CA 9 result is not typically associated with JRA. CA 9 (Carbonic Anhydrase 9) is not a commonly used marker for diagnosing or monitoring JIA, so it would not be expected to be seen in test results for this condition.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
the clinical manifestations of nephrosis include which of the following ?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nephrosis, also known as nephrotic syndrome, is characterized by the presence of massive proteinuria (excretion of more than 3.5 grams of protein in the urine per day), hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin in the blood), and edema (swelling due to fluid retention). These are the hallmark clinical manifestations of nephrosis. Proteinuria results from damage to the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to the loss of proteins, particularly albumin, in the urine. Hypoalbuminemia occurs due to the excessive loss of albumin in the urine, leading to reduced oncotic pressure in the bloodstream. Edema develops as a result of decreased oncotic pressure, which causes fluid to leak from the blood vessels into the tissues, especially in the lower extremities and around the eyes. Other common manifestations of nephrosis may include hyperlipidemia, lipid
