    • Septic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Atelectasis
    Explanation
    Atelectasis is a disorder characterized by collapsed or partially collapsed lung tissue, which can lead to symptoms such as dyspnea (difficulty breathing), decreased breath sounds, anxiety, crackles (abnormal lung sounds), and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin). This condition can occur due to various reasons, including blockage of the airways, lung infections, or surgery. In atelectasis, the affected lung areas are unable to fully expand and function properly, leading to the observed symptoms.

    • VTE

    • Hypoxia

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypoxia
    Explanation
    Hypoxia is a condition characterized by a decreased level of oxygen in the body, which can lead to various symptoms. The symptoms mentioned in the question, such as increased pulse, restlessness, syncope (passing out), combativeness, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin), are all consistent with the effects of hypoxia. This condition can occur due to various underlying disorders or conditions that impair the delivery of oxygen to the tissues, such as lung diseases, heart problems, or high altitudes.

    Which disorder has these symptoms?calf painunilateral redness, edema, warmth

    • Evisceration

    • Peritonitis

    • PE

    • VTE

    • Hypoxia

    Correct Answer
    A. VTE
    Explanation
    VTE stands for Venous Thromboembolism, which refers to the formation of blood clots in the veins. The symptoms mentioned, such as calf pain and unilateral redness, edema, and warmth, are indicative of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a type of VTE. DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, commonly in the legs. If the clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, it can cause a pulmonary embolism (PE), which is another type of VTE. Therefore, VTE is the most appropriate disorder that matches the given symptoms.

    • Pneumonia

    • Atelectasis

    • Hypovolemic shock

    • Septic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypovolemic shock
    Explanation
    The given symptoms, including decreased blood pressure, elevated pulse, elevated respirations, decreased urine, change in level of consciousness, pale clammy skin, metabolic acidosis, and thirst, are consistent with hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemic shock occurs when there is a significant loss of blood or fluid volume, leading to inadequate perfusion of organs and tissues. This can result from severe dehydration, bleeding, or fluid loss from burns or trauma. The symptoms listed are typical manifestations of hypovolemic shock due to the body's compensatory mechanisms to maintain perfusion and oxygenation.

    • Hypovolemic shock

    • Septic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Pneumonia
    Explanation
    Pneumonia is a respiratory infection that causes inflammation in the lungs. The symptoms listed, such as fever, elevated pulse and respirations, dyspnea (difficulty breathing), chest pain, crackles (abnormal lung sounds), and productive cough/sputum, are commonly associated with pneumonia. This infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and often requires medical treatment with antibiotics or antiviral medications.

    • Shock

    • SIRS

    • Hemorrhage

    • Pneumonia

    • DIC

    Correct Answer
    A. DIC
    Explanation
    DIC stands for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, which is a disorder characterized by abnormal blood clotting and excessive bleeding. The symptoms listed, such as increased pulse, increased respirations, decreased blood pressure, fatigue, ecchymosis, petechiae, purpura, hematuria, frank bleeding, dyspnea and/or chest pain, headache, joint and abdominal pain, are all associated with DIC. In DIC, there is widespread activation of the clotting system, leading to the formation of small blood clots throughout the body, which can block blood vessels and cause organ damage. This excessive clotting also depletes the clotting factors in the blood, leading to abnormal bleeding.

    • Evisceration

    • Peritonitis

    • PE

    • VTE

    • Hypoxia

    Correct Answer
    A. Evisceration
    Explanation
    Evisceration refers to the protrusion of internal organs through a wound or surgical incision. The symptoms mentioned in the question, such as low grade fever, increased pulse, wound pain, and sudden gush of serosanguinous fluid, are indicative of evisceration. This condition requires immediate medical attention as it can lead to infection and further complications.

    • Hypovolemic shock

    • Septic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Septic shock
    Explanation
    Septic shock is the correct answer because it is a condition characterized by a severe infection that leads to a systemic inflammatory response. The symptoms listed, such as fever or hypothermia, rapid heart rate, rapid respirations, decreased blood pressure, hypoxia, leukocytosis, low/no urine output, and cool, pale extremities, are all consistent with the clinical presentation of septic shock.

    Correct Answer
    A. SIRS
    Explanation
    SIRS stands for Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. It is a condition characterized by an exaggerated immune response to an infection, injury, or other inflammatory stimuli. The symptoms listed in the question, such as increased or decreased body temperature, rapid heart rate and breathing, elevated white blood cell count, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, weakness/fatigue, sweating, headache, backache, muscle aches, and nausea/vomiting, are all common manifestations of SIRS. Therefore, SIRS is the disorder that best fits the given symptoms.

    • Hypovolemic shock

    • Septic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardiogenic shock
    Explanation
    The given symptoms are consistent with cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This leads to a decrease in blood flow and oxygen delivery to the organs, resulting in symptoms such as weak and rapid pulse, rapid breathing, anxiety, cold hands and feet, fatigue, confusion, profuse sweating, decreased urine output, and pale or moist skin.

    • Shock

    • SIRS

    • Hemorrhage

    • Pneumonia

    • DIC

    Correct Answer
    A. Hemorrhage
    Explanation
    The given symptoms are consistent with hemorrhage. Decreased temperature, increased pulse, increased respirations, and change in blood pressure are all signs of shock, which can occur due to severe bleeding. Hypoxia, restlessness, apprehension, diaphoresis, cyanotic nail beds, and prolonged cap refill are all indications of inadequate oxygen supply to the body tissues, which can result from significant blood loss. Concentrated urine can be a result of decreased blood volume and decreased kidney perfusion. Therefore, hemorrhage is the most likely disorder based on the symptoms provided.

    Rate this question:

    Which disorder has these symptoms? Cough, dyspnea, H/A, HT, neck vein distention, pulmonary congestion and edema

    Correct Answer
    fluid overload, fluid volume overload, fluid volume excess
    Explanation
    The given symptoms, including cough, dyspnea, headache, neck vein distention, pulmonary congestion, and edema, are indicative of fluid overload or fluid volume excess. These terms refer to a condition where there is an excessive accumulation of fluid in the body, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, headache, and swelling. The presence of neck vein distention suggests increased pressure in the veins due to fluid accumulation. Pulmonary congestion and edema further support the diagnosis of fluid overload. Therefore, the correct answer is fluid overload, fluid volume overload, fluid volume excess.
