Question With Correct
Answers
Autosomal Dominant - correct answer-1 parent has, 50% change of child having
Autosomal Recessive - correct answer-Both parents are carriers, 25% change of child
having, 50% chance child is a carrier.
Cystic Fibrosis - correct answer-affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs
21st Trisomy - correct answer-Down Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) - correct answer-male has extra X, female like qualities
Turner Syndrome - correct answer-Missing X in females
Alpha Thalassemia - correct answer-inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
Beta Thallasemia - correct answer-low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous
sulfate
, Prevalence Risk - correct answer-proportion of the population affected at a certain time
Incidence rate - correct answer-number of new cases divided by population
Innate immunity - correct answer-inflammation; increased vascular permeability
B&T lymphocytes - correct answer-immune response
primary malignant tumor - correct answer-lack of organization of cells
glucocorticoids - correct answer-used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid
tissue (leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - correct answer-for hormone receptor
positive and advanced breast cancer. (Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk)
Heart failure - correct answer-impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood; heart
cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
CHF - correct answer-heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
Left Ventricular Dysfunction - correct answer-reduced ejection fraction; ventricle having
issue ejecting blood.
normal ejection fraction - correct answer-55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each
heartbeat)
Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved? - correct answer-preserved
Diastolic CHF - correct answer-preserved ejection fraction, problem is with filling
Systolic CHF - correct answer-reduced ejection fraction, problem is with ejecting
Left sided CHF - correct answer-pulmonary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3
murmurs) ** #1 cause of Right sided CHF
BNP - correct answer-gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF
Echocardiogram - correct answer-Diagnostic tool, evaluates heart structure and function
At Risk for HF - Stage A - correct answer-no structural heart disease or symptoms of
heart failure
