1. Question : In hyperkalemia, cardiac rhythm changes are a direct result of
cardiac cell hypopolarization.
cardiac cell hyperexcitability.
depression of the sinoatrial (SA) node.
cardiac cell repolarization.
Question 2. Question : Which are indications of dehydration?
Decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit
Muscle weakness and decreased deep tendon reflexes
Tachycardia and weight loss
Polyuria and hyperventilation
Question 3. Question : How does the loss of chloride during vomiting cause metabolic alkalosis?
Loss of chloride stimulates the release of aldosterone, which causes the retained sodium to bind with the chloride.
Loss of chloride causes hydrogen to move into the cell and exchange with potassium to maintain cation balance.
Loss of chloride causes retention of bicarbonate to maintain the anion balance.
Loss of chloride causes hypoventilation to compensate for the metabolic alkalosis.
Question 4. Question : When thirst is experienced, how are osmoreceptors activated?
By an increase in the antidiuretic hormone secreted into the plasma
By an increase in aldosterone secreted into the plasma
By an increase in the hydrostatic pressure of the plasma
By an increase in the osmotic pressure of the plasma
Question 5. Question : 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 hydrostatic pressure is higher than the capillary oncotic pressure.
interstitial oncotic pressure is higher than the interstitial hydrostatic pressure.
capillary oncotic pressure is lower than the interstitial hydrostatic pressure.
Question 6. Question : What is a major determinant of the resting membrane potential necessary for transmission of nerve impulses?
The ratio between intracellular Na+ and extracellular sodium
The ratio between intracellular K+ and extracellular potassium
The ratio between intracellular Na+ and extracellular K+
The ratio between intracellular K+ and extracellular Na+
Question 7. Question : Chvostek sign and Trousseau sign indicate
hypokalemia.
hyperkalemia.
hypocalcemia.
hypercalcemia.
Question 8. Question : Which of the following is a true statement?
Hypoventilation causes hypocapnia.
Hyperventilation causes hypercapnia.
Hyperventilation causes hypocapnia.
Hyperventilation results in an increased PaCO2.
Question 9. Question : In ARDS, alveoli and respiratory bronchioles fill with fluid as a result of the
compression on the pores of Kohn, thus preventing collateral ventilation.
increased capillary permeability, which causes alveoli and respiratory bronchioles to fill with fluid.
inactivation of surfactant and the impairment of type II alveolar cells.
increased capillary hydrostatic pressure that forces fluid into the alveoli and respiratory bronchioles.
Question 10. Question : Which inflammatory mediators are produced in asthma?
Neutrophil proteases, bradykinin, and histamine
Bradykinin, serotonin, and neutrophil proteases
Histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes
Lymphokines, serotonin, and prostaglandins

Spontaneous pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax
Open pneumothorax
Secondary pneumothorax
Question 12. Question : _____ is a fulminant form of respiratory failure characterized by acute lung inflammation and diffuse alveolocapillary injury.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Pneumonia
Pulmonary emboli
Acute pulmonary edema
Question 13. Question : A(n) _____ is a circumscribed area of suppuration and destruction of lung parenchyma.
consolidation
cavitation
empyema

Question 14. Question : Dyspnea is not a result of
decreased pH, increased PaCO2, and decreased PaO2.
decreased blood flow to the medulla oblongata.
stimulation of stretch or J-receptors.

autosomal recessive inheritance.
autosomal dominant inheritance.
infection.
malignancy.
Question 20. Question : An accurate description of childhood asthma is that it is a(n)
obstructive airway disease characterized by reversible airflow obstruction, bronchial hyperreactivity, and inflammation.
pulmonary disease characterized by severe hypoxemia, decreased pulmonary compliance, and diffuse densities on chest x-ray.
pulmonary disorder involving an abnormal expression of a protein producing viscous mucus that lines the airways, pancreas, sweat ducts, and vas deferens.
obstructive airway disease characterized by atelectasis and increased pulmonary resistance as a result of a surfactant deficiency.
