- A.
Usually treated with anti-inflammatory agents
- B.
A result of disordered nerve function
- C.
Due to direct stimulation of intact nociceptors
- D.
Rarely responsive to opioid analgesics
Correct Answer
B. A result of disordered nerve functionExplanation
Neuropathic pain is a result of disordered nerve function. This means that the pain is caused by a dysfunction or damage to the nerves themselves, rather than being a response to inflammation or direct stimulation of intact nociceptors. It is important to understand this distinction because neuropathic pain requires a different approach to treatment compared to other types of pain. While anti-inflammatory agents may be effective for some types of pain, they are not typically the first line of treatment for neuropathic pain. Additionally, neuropathic pain is often less responsive to opioid analgesics, further highlighting the need for specialized treatment approaches.Rate this question:

Drugs are most often given to Alzheimer's patients
- A.
To delay the progress of cognitive and psychological impairment
- B.
To reverse cognitive impairment
- C.
For their placebo effect
- D.
To prevent wandering
Correct Answer
A. To delay the progress of cognitive and psychological impairmentExplanation
Drugs are commonly prescribed to Alzheimer's patients in order to delay the progression of cognitive and psychological impairment. These drugs are designed to slow down the decline in cognitive function and help manage the symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. While they may not reverse cognitive impairment completely, they can provide some relief and improve the quality of life for patients. The use of drugs in Alzheimer's treatment is based on scientific research and clinical evidence, rather than relying on a placebo effect. Additionally, medications can also help prevent wandering, which is a common behavior in Alzheimer's patients.Rate this question:

Which of these characteristics are the LEAST typical of Alzheimer's caregivers?
- A.
Grief
- B.
Male
- C.
Neglect of personal appearance
- D.
Shame and embarrassment
Correct Answer
B. MaleExplanation
The least typical characteristic of Alzheimer's caregivers is being male. While both men and women can be caregivers for individuals with Alzheimer's, research shows that the majority of caregivers are female. This is likely due to societal expectations and gender roles, as well as the fact that women tend to have higher rates of empathy and nurturing qualities. However, it is important to note that being male does not exclude someone from being an Alzheimer's caregiver, as individuals of any gender can provide care and support for their loved ones.Rate this question:

Glucagon acts to ___, and insulin acts to_____.
- A.
Stimulate the stomach...stimulate the pancreas
- B.
Increase hunger...decrease hunger
- C.
Decrease blood sugar levels...increase blood sugar level
- D.
Stimulate the release of glucose...take glucose into cells
Correct Answer
D. Stimulate the release of glucose...take glucose into cellsExplanation
Glucagon acts to stimulate the release of glucose, while insulin acts to take glucose into cells. Glucagon is released by the pancreas when blood sugar levels are low, and it stimulates the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream. Insulin, on the other hand, is released by the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high. It allows glucose to enter cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. By working together, glucagon and insulin help regulate blood sugar levels in the body.Rate this question:

Why are the terms "juvenile-onset" and "adult-onset" no longer used to describe types of diabetes?
- A.
Too few children develop diabetes to make the term "juvenile-onset" meaningful
- B.
Large number of overweight children began to develop Type 2 diabetes
- C.
A large number of underweight adults began to develop Type 2 diabetes
- D.
A large number of underweight adults began to develop Type 1 Diabetes
Correct Answer
B. Large number of overweight children began to develop Type 2 diabetesExplanation
The terms "juvenile-onset" and "adult-onset" are no longer used to describe types of diabetes because a large number of overweight children began to develop Type 2 diabetes. This suggests that diabetes is no longer limited to specific age groups and can occur in both children and adults.Rate this question:

Which ethnic group has the lowest risk for Type 2 diabetes?
- A.
Asian Americans
- B.
African Americans
- C.
Hispanic Americans
- D.
European Americans
Correct Answer
D. European AmericansExplanation
European Americans have the lowest risk for Type 2 diabetes compared to the other ethnic groups mentioned. This may be due to various factors such as genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, and dietary habits. European Americans generally have lower rates of obesity and higher levels of physical activity, which are important factors in reducing the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, they may have a lower prevalence of certain risk factors such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, which are associated with the development of diabetes.Rate this question:

One of the difficulties that children and adolescents face in coping with diabetes is that
- A.
Most parents fail to accept their child's disorder
- B.
They do not have the cognitive sophistication to plan their regimens
- C.
They may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirements
- D.
Children fear the long-term complications of diabetes
Correct Answer
C. They may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirementsExplanation
Children and adolescents with diabetes may resist adhering to the dietary restrictions and exercise requirements because it can be challenging and restrictive. They may feel frustrated and restricted by the need to constantly monitor their food intake and engage in regular physical activity. Additionally, they may want to fit in with their peers and feel left out or different when they have to follow different dietary and exercise routines. This resistance can make it difficult for them to effectively manage their diabetes and maintain their health.Rate this question:

The leading cause of death among adult Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics is
- A.
Cardiovascular disease
- B.
Lung cancer
- C.
Suicide
- D.
Unintentional injuries
Correct Answer
A. Cardiovascular diseaseExplanation
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among adult Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics because diabetes can lead to various complications that increase the risk of cardiovascular problems. High blood sugar levels in diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries), which can result in heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions. Additionally, diabetes is often associated with other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and obesity, further increasing the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is crucial for diabetics to manage their blood sugar levels and adopt a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.Rate this question:

With regard to the perception of glucose levels, most diabetics
- A.
Develop effective strategies that allow them to predict their insulin needs
- B.
Have inaccurate beliefs about blood glucose levels
- C.
With Type 1 diabetes have more accurate beliefs than those with Type 2 diabetes
- D.
Would prefer to turn their care over to professionals rather than learn self-monitoring
Correct Answer
B. Have inaccurate beliefs about blood glucose levelsExplanation
Most diabetics have inaccurate beliefs about blood glucose levels. This means that they may not have a clear understanding of their own glucose levels and how they fluctuate throughout the day. This can be problematic as it can lead to incorrect insulin dosing or other management decisions. It is important for diabetics to have accurate beliefs about their glucose levels in order to effectively manage their condition and prevent complications.Rate this question:

The _____ model hypothesizes that genetic vulnerability interacts with environmental factors to stimulate asthmatic reactions
- A.
Hardiness
- B.
Hierarchy of needs
- C.
Diathesis-stress
- D.
Allergy
Correct Answer
C. Diathesis-stressExplanation
The diathesis-stress model suggests that individuals with a genetic vulnerability are more susceptible to developing asthmatic reactions when exposed to certain environmental factors. This model emphasizes the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental triggers in the development of asthma. It suggests that both factors are necessary for the manifestation of asthmatic symptoms, with the genetic vulnerability acting as a diathesis or predisposition, and the environmental factors acting as stressors that trigger the asthmatic reactions.Rate this question:
