unexpected by the health care team?
Increased thrombopoietin levels
4.Which of the following situations related to the transition from fetal to

"You should breathe deeply and cough to help your lungs expand as much as
possible while you're in bed."
7.A 66-year-old patient's echocardiogram reveals a hypertrophied left
ventricle, normal chamber volume, and a normal ejection fraction from the
heart. What is this patient's most likely diagnosis?
Aortic valve stenosis
8.A couple who are expecting their first child have been advised by friends to
consider harvesting umbilical cord blood in order to have a future source of
stem cells. The couple have approached their nurse practitioner with this
request and are seeking clarification of exactly why stem cells are valuable
and what they might expect to gain from harvesting them. How can the nurse
practitioner best respond to the couple’s inquiry?
“Stem cells can be used as a source of reserve cells for the entire blood
production system.”
9.A child possesses a trait that is the result of the interaction of two different
genes, neither of which could have produced the trait independently. Which
of the following explanations best captures the genetic explanation for this?
The outcome is the result of the interaction between collaborative genes.
10.A 55-year-old man has made an appointment to see his nurse practitioner
because he has been awakening three to four times nightly to void and often
has a sudden need to void with little warning during the day. What is the
man’s most likely diagnosis and possible underlying pathophysiologic
problem?
Overactive bladder that may result from both neurogenic and myogenic
sources
11.As a result of dehydration, a patient's epithelial cells are producing
insufficient amounts of mucus. Consequently, the patient's mucociliary
blanket is compromised. Which of the following changes would a care
provider most reasonably anticipate as a direct result of this change?
Increased amounts of bacteria in the lungs. The primary role of the
mucociliary blanket is to trap foreign particles and bacteria and thus prevent
their entry into the lungs. The impaired ciliary function may result in an
inadequate mucociliary blanket, but the opposite relationship is unlikely.
Decreased oxygen and increased carbon dioxide levels may eventually result,
but not as a direct or immediate consequence.

assessment of the patient's condition?
Blood backs up into the jugular vein because there are no valves at the point
of entry into the heart.
Sputum samples from a patient with pneumonia contain an infective agent
