The right upper quadrant (RUQ) is the area where the gallbladder is located. Pain in this area can be indicative of gallbladder problems such as gallstones or cholecystitis, which is inflammation of the gallbladder. Therefore, the statement that pain in the RUQ may suggest gallbladder problems is true.

Submit
22. COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) is defined as:

Explanation

COPD is a chronic lung disease characterized by a progressive and irreversible obstruction of the airways. It is a collective term that encompasses conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, which cause a gradual and worsening blockage of the air passages in the lungs. This obstruction leads to symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Reversible airway obstruction refers to conditions like asthma, where the airflow obstruction can be alleviated with medication. Bronchiole cancer, on the other hand, is a specific type of lung cancer that affects the small airways called bronchioles, but it is not synonymous with COPD.

Submit
23. Lower airway consists of:  
lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm.  

Explanation

The lower airway consists of the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and diaphragm. These structures are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The lungs are the main organs of the lower airway, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled. The bronchi and bronchioles are the airways that carry air into the lungs, while the alveoli are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs. The diaphragm is a muscle that helps with the process of breathing. Therefore, the statement "Lower airway consists of lungs, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm" is true.

Submit
24. Pulmonologist or pneumologist treat diseases of:  

Explanation

A pulmonologist or pneumologist is a medical specialist who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the respiratory system, particularly the lungs. They are experts in managing conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer. Since the lungs are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, it makes sense that a pulmonologist would specialize in treating diseases specifically related to this vital organ.

Submit
25. Heimlich maneuver is used to:  

Explanation

The Heimlich maneuver is a technique used to remove a foreign object that is blocking the airway. It involves applying pressure to the abdomen in order to create a strong upward force that can dislodge the obstruction and allow the person to breathe again. This technique is commonly used in emergency situations where someone is choking and unable to breathe due to an object blocking their airway. It is not used to restart the heart, treat COPD, or help expand the chest for breathing assistance.

Submit
26. ED (erectile dysfunction) is caused by:  

Explanation

ED (erectile dysfunction) is caused by a combination of factors including vascular disease, nerve damage that innervate the penis, damage to the spinal cord, and long-term diabetes. Vascular disease can restrict blood flow to the penis, leading to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection. Nerve damage can interfere with the transmission of signals from the brain to the penis, impairing the ability to have an erection. Damage to the spinal cord can also disrupt the communication between the brain and the penis. Additionally, long-term diabetes can cause damage to blood vessels and nerves, further contributing to the development of erectile dysfunction.

Submit
27. Urethritis is defined as inflammation of the kidneys.

Explanation

Urethritis is not inflammation of the kidneys, but rather inflammation of the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Inflammation of the kidneys is known as nephritis. Therefore, the statement "Urethritis is defined as inflammation of the kidneys" is false.

Submit
28. A cut with smooth edges made with a sharp object such as a knife is known as incision.

Explanation

An incision refers to a cut made with a sharp object like a knife, and it typically has smooth edges. This means that the statement is accurate and the answer is true.

Submit
29. A clean catch can be obtained by instructing the patient to:

Explanation

To obtain a clean catch, the patient should wipe the area around the urethra with towelettes, urinate in the toilet, and catch the mid-stream of the urine. This method helps to minimize contamination from the external genitalia and allows for a more accurate analysis of the urine sample. Using a nonsterile cup for the first stream and not needing sterile containers for a 24-hour collection are unrelated to obtaining a clean catch.

Submit
30. In case of a foreign object or chemical gets in the eye the first thing you should do is:

Explanation

When a foreign object or chemical gets into the eye, the first thing you should do is apply sterile wash across the eye or, if not available, running tap water. This is because flushing the eye with water helps to remove the foreign object or dilute and wash away the chemical, reducing the risk of further damage or irritation to the eye. Applying bicarbonate to neutralize the irritating acid or attempting to brush it off may not be effective or safe in this situation.

Submit
31. Vaginal bleeding, severe pain in pelvic area occuring during early pregnancy is suggestive of:  

Explanation

Vaginal bleeding and severe pain in the pelvic area occurring during early pregnancy are common symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. This can cause the tube to rupture, leading to severe pain and vaginal bleeding. Urethritis refers to inflammation of the urethra, which is not related to pregnancy. PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) is an infection of the reproductive organs and may cause symptoms such as pelvic pain and abnormal vaginal bleeding, but it is not specific to early pregnancy. Therefore, the correct answer is ectopic pregnancy.

Submit
32. Pain in the RLQ (right lower quadrant) is suggestive of: 

Explanation

Pain in the RLQ (right lower quadrant) is suggestive of appendicitis. Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch-like structure located in the RLQ of the abdomen. The pain typically starts around the belly button and then moves to the RLQ. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fever. If left untreated, appendicitis can lead to a ruptured appendix, which is a medical emergency. Therefore, RLQ pain should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out appendicitis.

Submit
33. Gas exchange takes place in the which structure of the respiratory system?  

Explanation

Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the respiratory system. The alveoli are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs. They are surrounded by a network of blood vessels and have thin walls, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the lungs and the bloodstream. This process is essential for supplying oxygen to the body's tissues and removing waste carbon dioxide. The trachea and bronchioles are involved in conducting air to and from the alveoli, while the windpipe is another term for the trachea.

Submit
34. Pulmonary edema is defined as:  

Explanation

Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lungs. This condition can occur due to various factors such as heart failure, lung infections, or exposure to certain toxins. The excess fluid in the lungs makes it difficult for oxygen to reach the bloodstream, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. Prompt medical intervention is necessary to treat pulmonary edema and prevent further complications.

Submit
35. Peak flows are used to:  

Explanation

Peak flows are a measurement of the maximum ability to exhale, which is often used in asthmatics. It helps to assess the severity of asthma and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. By measuring the peak flow, healthcare professionals can determine how well the airways are functioning and if there is any obstruction or narrowing. This information is crucial in managing asthma and making necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Submit
36. The symptoms of BPH include:  frequent urination, difficulty starting, decreased urine stream, dribbling  

Explanation

The given statement is true. BPH, or benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and causes various urinary symptoms. Frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, decreased urine stream, and dribbling are common symptoms of BPH. Therefore, the statement accurately describes the symptoms associated with BPH.

Submit
37. Microalbumin is used to detect:  early renal disease  

Explanation

Microalbumin is used to detect early renal disease. This is because microalbumin is a small protein that can leak into the urine when the kidneys are not functioning properly. By measuring the levels of microalbumin in the urine, healthcare professionals can identify early signs of kidney damage and diagnose renal disease before it progresses to more severe stages. Therefore, the statement "Microalbumin is used to detect early renal disease" is true.

Submit
38. Urinalysis can measure the following values:
Appearance, odor, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, Leukocyte esterase.  

Explanation

The statement is true because urinalysis is a diagnostic test that can measure various values in urine, including appearance, odor, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, and leukocyte esterase. These values can provide important information about a person's kidney function, urinary tract infections, diabetes, liver function, and other health conditions.

Submit
39. Urethritis is caused by  Infection by bacteria (eg E. coli, STD such as gonorrhea).

Explanation

Urethritis is indeed caused by infection, specifically by bacteria such as E. coli or sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea. These infections can lead to inflammation and irritation of the urethra, resulting in symptoms like pain or burning during urination, frequent urination, and discharge. Therefore, the statement "Urethritis is caused by infection by bacteria (eg E. coli, STD such as gonorrhea)" is true.

Submit
40. The emergency guidelines ABCD stands for:  

Explanation

The correct answer is "Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Defibrillation." This acronym, ABCD, is commonly used in emergency medicine to prioritize actions during a medical emergency. It serves as a reminder of the order in which critical interventions should be performed. The first step is to ensure a clear and open airway, followed by assessing and providing artificial breathing if necessary. Next, circulation is assessed and appropriate measures are taken to restore blood flow. Finally, if needed, defibrillation is performed to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Submit
41. When a person is seizing you should:

Explanation

When a person is seizing, it is important to move them carefully to the floor to prevent them from falling and injuring themselves. Moving any furniture or objects out of the way is necessary to create a safe environment and prevent further harm during the seizure. Remaining with the person is important to provide support and ensure their safety. Telling the person to calm down is not recommended as they have no control over their actions during a seizure. Calling EMS is the correct action to take in order to seek medical assistance for the person experiencing the seizure.

Submit
42. The STD that produces painless chancre is known as:  

Explanation

Syphilis is the correct answer because it is a sexually transmitted disease that can produce painless chancres. Chancres are small, painless sores that typically appear on the genitals, rectum, or mouth. They are one of the primary symptoms of syphilis and can occur during the early stages of the infection. Herpes, herpes simplex type II, and prostatitis are not associated with painless chancres.

Submit
43. This is the most common cause of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) is:  

Explanation

Chlamydia is the most common cause of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. If left untreated, chlamydia can ascend into the upper reproductive tract and cause PID. It is important to diagnose and treat chlamydia promptly to prevent complications such as PID, which can lead to infertility and chronic pelvic pain.

Explanation

The given statement is true. In obstetrical history, important information includes the last menstrual period (LMP), age of onset of menses (menarche), frequency and duration of menstrual periods, estimated amount of blood loss during periods, and any associated pain. Other relevant details include gravida (number of pregnancies), para (number of live births), history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and the date of the last pap smear and mammogram. Collecting this information is crucial for assessing a woman's reproductive health and potential risks during pregnancy.

Submit
45. Ovulation is stimulated by a peak or surge of this hormone:

Explanation

LH, or luteinizing hormone, is responsible for stimulating ovulation in females. It causes the mature egg to be released from the ovary, ready for fertilization. FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, plays a role in the development of the egg, but it is LH that triggers its release. ACTH and testosterone do not directly stimulate ovulation in females.

Submit
46. CVA (cerebral vascular accident) is also known as:  

Explanation

CVA (cerebral vascular accident) is a medical term used to describe a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to the death of brain cells. This interruption can be caused by a blockage in a blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or by bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "stroke."

Submit
47. Involuntary muscle contractions that result from abnormal cerebral stimulation are known as:  

Explanation

Seizures are involuntary muscle contractions that occur due to abnormal cerebral stimulation. They can result from various causes such as epilepsy, brain injury, or infections. During a seizure, a person may experience convulsions, loss of consciousness, and abnormal behavior.

Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates milk production, oxytocin is a hormone that triggers milk letdown, and galactorrhea is a condition characterized by the production of milk in non-lactating individuals. However, only colostrum refers specifically to the first milk produced.

Submit
50. If there is a need for general anesthesia the patient should never be kept NPO status.  

Explanation

This statement is false because if a patient needs general anesthesia, it is necessary for them to be kept NPO (nothing by mouth) for a certain period of time before the procedure. This is done to prevent aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs during anesthesia, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is important for patients to follow the NPO instructions given by their healthcare provider before undergoing general anesthesia.

Submit
51. You should perform a blind finger sweep in all chocking patient.

Explanation

Performing a blind finger sweep in all choking patients is not recommended. This is because blindly sweeping the finger into the mouth of a choking patient can potentially push the obstruction further down the airway, causing more harm. It is important to assess the situation and determine the appropriate intervention based on the patient's condition. The correct approach for a conscious choking adult is to perform abdominal thrusts, while for an unconscious choking adult, CPR should be initiated.

Submit
52. If a finger is accidentally amputated you should do the following:

Explanation

In case of an accidental amputation, it is important to preserve the amputated finger for possible reattachment. Wrapping it in sterile gauze soaked in saline solution helps to keep it clean and moist, preventing further damage. Placing it in a plastic bag provides an additional layer of protection. Placing the bag in ice helps to slow down the deterioration process and preserve the finger until medical help can be sought.

Submit
53. The STD that causes painful, burning, itching blisters or vesicles is known as:  

Explanation

Herpes is the correct answer because it is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that causes painful, burning, itching blisters or vesicles. Shingles is caused by the same virus as herpes, but it typically presents as a painful rash rather than blisters. HPV (human papillomavirus) is a different STD that can cause genital warts or lead to certain types of cancer. Chlamydia trachomitis is a bacteria that causes chlamydia, which can cause symptoms such as discharge and pain, but not blisters.

Submit
54. Green-yellown discharge caused by a motile organism is suggestive of:  

Explanation

A green-yellown discharge caused by a motile organism is suggestive of trichomoniasis. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It commonly causes a yellow-green, frothy discharge with a foul odor in affected individuals. Therefore, trichomoniasis is the most likely explanation for the given symptoms.

Submit
55. A condition most commonly caused by chlamydia that presents with fever, chills, foul-smelling discharge, severe pelvic pain is known as:  

Explanation

PID stands for pelvic inflammatory disease, which is a condition commonly caused by chlamydia. It is characterized by symptoms such as fever, chills, foul-smelling discharge, and severe pelvic pain. This infection occurs when bacteria from the vagina or cervix travel upwards into the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries. If left untreated, PID can lead to serious complications such as infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention if these symptoms are present.

Submit
56. A toxemia of severe form involving convulsions is known as:

Explanation

Eclampsia is the correct answer because it refers to a severe form of toxemia during pregnancy that is characterized by convulsions. It is a life-threatening condition that typically occurs after the onset of preeclampsia, which is characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage. Eclampsia can cause seizures, coma, and in severe cases, maternal and fetal death. Prompt medical intervention is necessary to manage eclampsia and prevent complications.

Submit
57. The AHA guidelines for the ratio of breaths to compression in the adult are:  

Explanation

The AHA guidelines for the ratio of breaths to compression in adults is 2:30. This means that for every 30 compressions, two breaths should be given during CPR. This ratio allows for adequate circulation to be maintained while also providing enough oxygen to the patient through rescue breaths. It is important to follow these guidelines to optimize the chances of survival during cardiac arrest.

Submit
58. Cryptherapy can be used to treat these lesions:

Explanation

Cryotherapy is a treatment method that involves freezing the affected area to remove abnormal tissues. It is commonly used to treat warts, which are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Cryotherapy freezes the wart, causing it to die and fall off. This treatment is not typically used for lesions caused by herpes, cellulitis, or cellulite. Herpes is a viral infection that requires antiviral medication, while cellulitis is a bacterial infection that is treated with antibiotics. Cellulite is a cosmetic concern and does not require medical treatment.

Submit
59. Common diagnostic test obtained in an OB/GYN appoitment include:  

Explanation

The correct answer includes the most common diagnostic tests obtained in an OB/GYN appointment. These tests are typically performed to assess the overall health of the patient, screen for potential infections or diseases, and monitor the progress of a pregnancy if applicable. The inclusion of urinalysis, glucose testing, glucose tolerance test, pap smear, Quad screen, urine protein, HIV, and syphilis covers a range of important assessments such as checking for urinary tract infections, monitoring blood sugar levels, screening for cervical cancer, assessing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancy, and testing for sexually transmitted infections.

Submit
60. Prostate cancer is screened or detected by: 

Explanation

Prostate cancer is screened or detected through a combination of the digital rectal exam (DRE) and PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test. The DRE involves a doctor inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to feel the prostate for any abnormalities. The PSA test measures the levels of PSA in the blood, which can be elevated in the presence of prostate cancer. Both tests are commonly used together to increase the accuracy of prostate cancer detection. Ultrasound alone is not sufficient for screening or detecting prostate cancer.

Submit
61. This blood test screens for neural tube defects (Spina bifida) which is associated with folic acid deficiency in the mother:

Explanation

AFP stands for alpha-fetoprotein, a protein produced by the fetus and found in the mother's blood during pregnancy. Elevated levels of AFP can indicate neural tube defects such as spina bifida. The test measures the amount of AFP in the mother's blood to screen for these defects. Folic acid deficiency in the mother is associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects, so measuring AFP levels can help identify potential issues early on. The other options, RPR, folic acid levels, and vitamin B12 levels, are not specifically related to screening for neural tube defects.

Submit
62. A toxemia of mild form with absence of convulsions during pregnancy is known as:

Explanation

Preeclampsia is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs, such as the liver and kidneys, during pregnancy. It is considered a mild form of toxemia because it does not involve convulsions, which are typically seen in the more severe condition called eclampsia. Gestational hypertension refers to high blood pressure during pregnancy without the presence of other symptoms, while gestational diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Therefore, the correct answer is preeclampsia.

Submit
63. The female reproductive system consists of the following structures:  
vas deferens, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, cervix  

Explanation

The given statement is false. The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and cervix. The vas deferens is a part of the male reproductive system, not the female reproductive system.

Submit
64. Signs and symptoms of a stroke include:  

Explanation

The correct answer is "unilateral paralysis, impaired or slurred speech, confusion, facial droop, arm drift, loss of balance, coordination, LOC." This answer is correct because it includes all the signs and symptoms commonly associated with a stroke. Unilateral paralysis refers to weakness or loss of movement on one side of the body, impaired or slurred speech can indicate damage to the language centers of the brain, confusion can result from the disruption of cognitive function, facial droop can occur due to muscle weakness, arm drift can indicate weakness or lack of control in the arm, loss of balance and coordination can be a result of damage to the cerebellum, and LOC stands for loss of consciousness, which can occur during a stroke.

Submit

67. In carbon monoxide poisining the treatment may include:  

Explanation

Hyperbaric oxygen is a treatment option for carbon monoxide poisoning. It involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which helps to quickly remove carbon monoxide from the bloodstream and replace it with oxygen. This treatment is effective because it increases the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood, allowing it to reach areas that may have been deprived of oxygen due to carbon monoxide exposure. By providing high levels of oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help reduce the risk of long-term complications and promote faster recovery from carbon monoxide poisoning.
