Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells Correct! Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation Question 5 10 / 10 pts Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. Your Answer: Dry gangrene occurs when blood supply is slowly reduced to an area. The area is dehydrated and becomes dark or black in color. Commonly seen in patients with diabetes. It is not very painful, but tissues eventually die. Wet gangrene is casued with a sudden reduction in blood flow. The area is cold and swollen, with no pulse. This can occur from trauma. Bacteria is involved and is very painful. It has the appearance of pus, becasue it looks wet. There is also a foul smell. In dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid.

Your Answer: There are about 80 autoimmune disorders identified, with many overlapping presentations. Blood tests can be more generic and results are imprecise. Markers can be elevated in the presecence of other diseases. There are over 80 identified, many with overlapping presentations. Many manifestations are nonspecific and are seen in other non-autoimmune diseases. Blood testing isn’t perfect either, as some tests are more generic and can be elevated in the presence of other diseases.

Question 20 5 / 5 pts _____ is the transfer of gases between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. Your Answer: diffusion Diffusion Question 21 5 / 5 pts Multiple Choice: Each of the following can lead to atelectasis except: Pleural effusion Tumor mass Correct! Thrombus Mucous plug Question 22 8 / 10 pts Short answer: A 10-year-old boy who is having an acute asthma attack is brought to the ER. He is observed to be sitting up and struggling to breathe. His breathing is accompanied by use of accessory muscles, a weak cough, and audible wheezing sounds. His pulse is rapid and weak, and both heart and breath sounds are distant on auscultation. His parents relate that his asthma began to worsen after he developed a “cold,” and now he doesn’t get relief from his albuterol inhaler. Explain the changes in physiologic function underlying his signs and symptoms. Your Answer: In asthma patients, airways begin to narrow. A trigger, such as a cold virus, can start a cascade of inflammatory cells to cause epithelial injury, resulting in airway inflammation. With severe airway inflammation, patient is experiencing remodeling, which is development of specific structural changes in the airway wall. Recruitment of inflammatory cells from the bloodstream into the bronchial wall, where they directly attack the invading organisms and secrete inflammatory chemicals that are toxic to the organisms causes airway inflammation. Swelling of the bronchial wall, mucus secretion, constriction of the airway; bronchial hyper-responsiveness to stimuli causes airway obstruction or narrowing. They may discuss on a cellular level as well: Upon a trigger, the cascade of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and mast cells cause epithelial injury. This causes airway inflammation, which further increases hyperresponsiveness and decreased airflow. Mast cells release histamine and leukotrienes. These cause major bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and mucus secretion. Mast cells can trigger multiple cytokine release, which causes more airway inflammation. The contraction of the airways and subsequent swelling leads to further airway obstruction. Question 23 5 / 5 pts T/F – Make true if False Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the PNS.

Question 25 10 / 10 pts Long Answer Essay A 75-year-old male is brought to the emergency department via ambulance at 5 pm. The patient’s spouse reports that when they woke up (approximately at 6 am) he reported to her that he was having some blurred vision but decided to go about his day. As the day progressed, he started experiencing tingling and feelings of weakness on the entire left side of his body. He has a past medical history of diabetes. Based upon these symptoms and past medical history, what do you suspect this patient is experiencing? How would you confirm this diagnosis? What treatment should be administered? Explain why you chose that treatment. Your Answer: Patient was more than likely experiencing an ischemic stroke. A CT scan and MRI will be ordered to determine if a blood clot was blocking blood flow and to rule out hemorrhagic stroke. If a clot is located and the patient is outside the 4 hour treatment window, a catheter based method to break the clot would be needed. Answer: This patient is more than likely experiencing an ischemic stroke. A CT scan and MRI would be needed to determine if a clot was blocking blood flow to the brain tissue and to rule out a hemorrhagic stroke. If a clot is found, this patient would need to be reperfused through catheter-base methods as they are outside of the 3-4.5 treatment window for the use of tPA drugs. Question 26 0 / 5 pts Multiple Choice: Risk factors for gallstone formation include each of the following EXCEPT: Obesity Correct Answer Male gender Age (40’s) You Answered Pregnancy Question 27 5 / 5 pts Multiple choice Risk factors for the development of peptic ulcer include each of the following EXCEPT: pylori infection Family history of PUD NSAID use Alcohol use Correct! Stress Question 28 5 / 5 pts Short answer What are rhythmic movements designed to propel the chyme along the small intestine toward the large intestine? Your Answer: peristalsis Answer: Peristaltic movements Question 29 5 / 5 pts True/False: Anti-diarrheal medication can be used with all types of diarrhea. True Correct! False Question 30 2.5 / 2.5 pts Which of the following is characteristic of chronic transplant rejection? Correct! Involves humoral immunity It responds well to immunosuppressive therapy Involves increased T lymphocytes Question 31 2.5 / 2.5 pts A patient is said to be in stage 2 kidney disease. What would you expect their GFR to be? A. 97 mL/min/1.73m2 B. 42 mL/min/1.73m2 C. 70 mL/min/1.73m2 D. 14 mL/min/1.73m2 A. B. Correct! C. D. Question 32 5 / 5 pts Short Answer: Explain how the kidney can maintain a constant GFR despite variations in the arterial blood pressure of the rest of the body. Your Answer: There are 3 mechanisms that regulate remal blood flow and regulate the GFR: 1) renal autoregulation 2) nervous system control 3) hormonal control Answer: The renal autoregulatory system causes the efferent arteriole to constrict leading to an increased resistance to outflow from the glomeruli with a subsequent increase in glomerular pressure and the GFR. When the afferent arteriole constricts there is a reduction in renal blood flow, glomerular pressure, and the GFR. Question 33 10 / 10 pts A patient presents in the emergency department with severe dehydration secondary to vomiting. The following are the results of their blood work: pH = 8.2, PCO2 = 39 mm, and HCO3 - = 33 mEq/L. Based upon these results, what type of acid-base disorder are they experiencing? Is compensation occurring? Describe a treatment intervention for this disorder. Normal values are as follows: pH = 7.35-7.45, PCO2 = 35-45 mm, HCO3 - = 22-26 mEq/L. Your Answer: Metabolic alkalosis. There is no respiratory compensation because the PCO2 levels fall within normal range. Treatment is fluid replacement with normal saline solution. Answer: The patient is in metabolic alkalosis. The respiratory system is not compensating as PCO2 compensation falls within normal limits. Fluids are replaced with normal saline solution. Question 34 5 / 5 pts Multiple Choice: Signs and symptoms of Addison’s disease include each of the following EXCEPT: Hyperpigmentation Weight loss Muscle weakness Correct! Hyperglycemia Question 35 2.5 / 2.5 pts An endocrine hormone is released into circulation to act on a target organ. Correct!

True False Question 37 5 / 5 pts A 45-year-old woman presents with fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance. Lab findings show a low serum T4 and elevated TSH. 1. What diagnosis would her history and lab findings indicate? 2. What type of treatment should be given? Your Answer: 1) Hypothyroidism 2) Synthetic T4 thyroid hormone called thyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism Answer: (1) Hypothyroidism; (2) synthetic T4 thyroid hormone, thyroxine Question 38 5 / 5 pts Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) include each of the following EXCEPT: Polydipsia Dehydration Fruity smell on the breath Correct! Bradycardia Question 39 2.5 / 2.5 pts Multiple Choice: Which of the following would a patient likely report if you suspect they have OA? Pain in their MCP joint Correct! Stiffness in the morning that resolves in less than 30 minutes Pain that would be described as “acute” They feel “looser” after they move around Question 40 2.5 / 2.5 pts Blood circulates through bone by what means? (mark all that apply) Correct! Via the central Haversian and Volkmann canals Correct! An anastomosis between perforating and nutrient arteries Correct! Diffusion through the endosteal surface of the bone and the canaliculi Question 41 5 / 5 pts If someone loses their balance when walking on uneven terrain, explain how tendons and ligaments work to protect the joint and structures within it. Your Answer: Tendons and ligaments are in proprioception, menaing have awareness of one's position in space or movement of the body. When they undergo stretch, like walking on uneven terrian, the proprioception nerve fibers cause a reflex response to adjust the tension in the muscle. This will allow the body to maintain balance. The molecualr structure of tensons and ligamants are of a collagen that contributes to high tensile strength. The tendons and ligaments of joints serve in proprioception (the awareness of ones’ position in space or movement of the body). When these structures undergo stretch or torsional strain, these proprioceptive nerve fibers will cause a reflexive response to adjust the tension on the muscles (to maintain balance and not fall over) that support the joint protecting the capsule and other joint structures. Question 42 10 / 10 pts A 72-year-old male is said to be in phase 3 of gout. He is obese and has a history of alcohol abuse. Develop a treatment plan including specific pharmacologic intervention and a nonpharmacologic recommendation to manage his disease. Your Answer: Phase three gout is called inter-critical phase. The goal is to prevent future attaks by maintaining normal uric acid levels, hense prevent disease progression. Allopurinol is used to reduce uric acid levels. Lifestyle changes, such asweight loss, reduction in alcohol consumption, and avoid foods high in purines (fish, bacon, shellfish). Phase 3 of gout is called inter-critical gout. The patient is asymptomatic, and no joint abnormalities are present. The goal of treatment in this phase is to maintain normal uric acid levels and prevent progression of the disease. Allopurinol is a prescription drug that is used to reduce uric acid levels. This patient should be encouraged to lose weight and decrease his alcohol consumption. He should also avoid purine rich foods such as fish, bacon, and liver. (*Note – the student has to provide 1 pharmacologic intervention and 1 non-pharmacologic recommendation.) [Show Less]
