Lasts much longer & more effective at preventing subsequent infections than passive immunity. Active

disease because value directly correlates with degree inflammation & later with severity of the disease.
ESR value of 30 to 40 mm/hr indicates mild inflammation, 40 to 70 mm/hr indicates moderate
inflammation, & 70 to 150 mm/hr indicates severe inflammation. - CORRECT ANSWER-Erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (ESR)
Epidermal blistering & sloughing precipitated by lateral finger pressure, commonly is present in
pemphigus vulgaris - CORRECT ANSWER-Nikolsky's sign
Bone pain most common symptom & may manifest in areas close to a joint. Pain related to progressive

hypoxia. Heart rate is likely to increase in response to change. Effects of tissue ischemia lead to
decreased contractility over time. - CORRECT ANSWER-Decrease in blood pressure
The left coronary artery supplies right atrium & right ventricle with blood - CORRECT ANSWER-coronary
arteries
Early decreases fluid volume compensated for by increase in pulse rate. Although BP will decrease, it is
not the earliest indicator. - CORRECT ANSWER-Earliest indication of new decreases in fluid volume
Normal cardiac output for adult can range from 4-8 L/min & varies greatly with body size. Heart
normally pumps 5 L of blood every minute. - CORRECT ANSWER-Cardiac output
Bifurcates from left main coronary artery to supply anterior wall of left ventricle & a few other
structures - CORRECT ANSWER-Left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD)
,Bifurcates from left coronary artery & supplies left atrium & lateral wall of left ventricle - CORRECT
ANSWER-Circumflex coronary artery
Supplies right side of heart, including right atrium & right ventricle. - CORRECT ANSWER-Right coronary
artery (RCA
Supplies posterior wall of the heart. - CORRECT ANSWER-Posterior descending coronary artery (PDA)

affected lung segments facilitate drainage of secretions. Postural drainage often done in conjunction
chest percussion for maximum effectiveness. - CORRECT ANSWER-Postural drainage
Inflammation visceral & parietal pleurae. Inflammation prevents parietal & visceral pleural surfaces from
gliding over each other with respiration. Experiences pain, especially with inspiration. Pleural friction rub
auscultated early in course of pleurisy before pleural fluid accumulates. Once fluid accumulates in
inflamed area, friction between visceral & parietal lung surfaces decreases, & pleural friction rub
disappears. - CORRECT ANSWER-Pleurisy
Cartilaginous ridge separates opening two main (right & left) bronchi. Endotracheal tube inserted past
carina, tube will enter right main bronchus as result natural curvature of airway. Hazardous because
only right lung will be ventilated. - CORRECT ANSWER-The carina
Contains 21% oxygen - CORRECT ANSWER-Room air
Apex of lung is rounded, uppermost part of lung. Nurse would place stethoscope just under left clavicle -
CORRECT ANSWER-Apical pneumothorax
Sometimes referred to as vermiform appendix, attached to apex of cecum. - CORRECT ANSWER-The
appendix
, Thrombin produced by liver & necessary for normal clotting. Insufficient level of this substance is at risk
for bleeding. - CORRECT ANSWER-Low serum levels of thrombin
Experiences blurred vision because focal point falls behind retina. Called farsightedness, condition may
be caused by eyeball that is shorter than usual or cornea that has less curvature than normal. Corrected
by use of convex or plus lens for close work, such as reading. - CORRECT ANSWER-Hyperopia
Light rays come into focus in front of retina. Caused by an eyeball that is too long, which may be familial
trait. Nearsightedness, corrected by use of concave or minus lenses in contact lenses or eyeglasses -
CORRECT ANSWER-Myopia
Abnormal shape to curvature of cornea, which is impairing ability to see clearly. Misshapen cornea not
perfectly spherical. Cornea cannot bend light rays equally in all directions, resulting impairment both
near & far vision. Corrected by use of cylindrical lenses. - CORRECT ANSWER-Astigmatism
Thin, transparent layer mucous membrane that covers eyeballs & lines eyelids. Infection of conjunctiva
is called conjunctivitis, which is a contagious condition - CORRECT ANSWER-The conjunctiva
