Your answers are correct
Sure, I can check your answers and provide feedback. Here are the correct answers and explanations:
1. Uremia is the result of:
Answer: B. a high concentration of nitrogenous wastes in the bloodstream.
Explaination: Uremia refers to the build-up of nitrogenous wastes in the blood due to kidney dysfunction. These wastes, such as urea and creatinine, are normally filtered out by the kidneys, but when the kidneys are not functioning properly, they accumulate in the bloodstream, causing uremia.
2. What does dysuria mean?
Answer: C. Difficult, painful urination
Explanation: Dysuria refers to the symptom of experiencing difficult or painful urination. It can be caused by various conditions such as urinary tract infections or bladder inflammation.
3. Which of the following systems would be the portal of entry for contaminated l secretions?
Answer: C. Genitourinary
Explanation: Contaminated l secretions can enter the body through the genitourinary system, which includes the reproductive organs and urinary system.
4. A patient showing Kaposi’s sarcoma is also likely to be infected with:
Answer: B. HIV.
Explanation: Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare cancer that is commonly seen in individuals with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. Infection with HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to developing Kaposi's sarcoma.
5. A procedure used to remove kidney stones by breaking them up in the urinary tract and allowing them to wash out with urine is:
Answer: C. lithotripsy.
Explanation: Lithotripsy is a procedure used to break up kidney stones into smaller pieces using shock waves or laser. This helps the stones pass out of the urinary tract more easily through urine.
6. The convulsive stage of toxemia of pregnancy is:
Answer: A. eclampsia.
Explanation: Eclampsia is a severe complication of pregnancy characterized by the onset of seizures or convulsions. It is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
7. When comparing the blood smears of patients with intact spleens to those of patients without spleens, the blood smears of patients without spleens will likely reveal:
Answer: B. many more lymphocytes and monocytes.
Explanation: The spleen functions in filtering blood and removing old or damaged red blood cells. Without a spleen, there is an increased number of lymphocytes and monocytes in the blood because the spleen is unable to perform its normal filtering and immune functions.
8. The period of time when the uterus returns to its normal size is the:
Answer: C. puerperium.
Explanation: The puerperium is the period immediately after childbirth when the uterus undergoes involution and returns to its normal size.
9. Your brother develops a fever, extreme fatigue, and enlarged lymph nodes throughout his body. If his illness is caused by a virus, the best treatment is:
Answer: B. antivirals.
Explanation: Viral infections are generally treated with antiviral medications. These medications can help relieve symptoms, reduce the duration of illness, and limit the spread of the virus in the body.
10. One of the distinguishing characteristics between HIV and AIDS is:
Answer: C. the development of opportunistic infections.
Explanation: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). One of the defining characteristics of AIDS is the development of opportunistic infections, which are infections that take advantage of a weakened immune system.
11. Which of the following contains erythrocytes?
Answer: B. Lymph vessels.
Explanation: Lymph vessels do not contain erythrocytes (red blood cells). Erythrocytes are present in blood vessels, not lymph vessels. Lymph vessels mainly transport lymph fluid and immune cells.
12. Where do fibroid tumors develop?
Answer: B. Uterus.
Explanation: Fibroid tumors, also known as leiomyomas, develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They are benign growths and can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding or pelvic pain.
13. When comparing the flow of lymph in the lymphatic system with the flow of blood in the circulatory system, it can be said that the lymphatic system also:
Answer: B. contains fluid that travels in only one direction.
Explanation: Similar to blood vessels, lymphatic vessels contain valves that allow the fluid (lymph) to flow in one direction, preventing backward flow. However, lymphatic system relies on the contraction of surrounding muscles and movement of the body to help propel lymph.
14. When comparing hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, it can be said that:
Answer: D. peritoneal dialysis doesn't need a dialyzer to work, whereas hemodialysis does.
Explanation: In hemodialysis, blood is purified by passing it through a dialyzer machine that filters out waste products and excess fluids. On the other hand, peritoneal dialysis involves the infusion of dialysis fluid into the peritoneal cavity, and the peritoneal membrane acts as a natural filter. The two methods differ in the way dialysis is performed and the equipment used.
15. What part of the brain is involved in control of antidiuretic hormone?
Answer: A. Hypothalamus.
Explanation: The hypothalamus, located in the brain, plays a crucial role in controlling various bodily functions, including the release of hormones. It produces antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which regulates water balance and controls urine production in the kidneys. ADH is then released by the pituitary gland, which is located just below the hypothalamus.
