Correct Answer
C. Alcoholic CirrhosisExplanation
Alcoholic Cirrhosis is the most common type of cirrhosis. It is caused by excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption, which leads to liver damage and scarring. The liver is unable to function properly, leading to symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, and liver failure. This type of cirrhosis can be prevented by limiting alcohol intake and seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.Rate this question:

Alcoholic Cirrhosis is the end result of alcoholic disease.
Correct Answer
liverExplanation
Alcoholic Cirrhosis is a condition that occurs when excessive alcohol consumption leads to liver damage and scarring, ultimately affecting the liver's ability to function properly. The liver is responsible for detoxifying alcohol and breaking it down, but excessive and prolonged alcohol use can overwhelm the liver, leading to inflammation, fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis. This condition can have serious consequences on overall health and may require medical intervention, such as abstinence from alcohol and supportive care, to manage symptoms and prevent further liver damage.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a metabolic change in the liver as a result of Alcoholic Cirrhosis?
- A.
Triglyceride and fatty acid synthesis increases
- B.
Liver swells and releases toxic gases
- C.
Formation and release of lipoproteins decrease
Correct Answer
B. Liver swells and releases toxic gasesExplanation
Alcoholic cirrhosis is a condition where excessive alcohol consumption leads to liver damage and scarring. This scarring disrupts the normal functioning of the liver. The metabolic changes that occur in the liver as a result of alcoholic cirrhosis include an increase in triglyceride and fatty acid synthesis, and a decrease in the formation and release of lipoproteins. However, the liver does not swell and release toxic gases as a result of alcoholic cirrhosis.Rate this question:

A balloon tamponade may be used if cannot be controlled through vasoconstriction.
Correct Answer
bleedingExplanation
A balloon tamponade may be used if bleeding cannot be controlled through vasoconstriction. This means that if vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow, is not effective in stopping the bleeding, a balloon tamponade can be used as an alternative method. A balloon tamponade involves inserting a balloon into the bleeding area and inflating it to apply pressure and stop the bleeding. It is used when other methods are not successful in controlling the bleeding.Rate this question:

A balloon tamponade may be used if is unavalible.
Correct Answer
endoscopyExplanation
A balloon tamponade may be used if endoscopy is unavailable. A balloon tamponade is a medical procedure where a balloon is inserted into a body cavity and inflated to apply pressure and stop bleeding or control fluid leakage. In certain cases, such as severe gastrointestinal bleeding, an endoscopy may be the preferred method to identify and treat the cause. However, if endoscopy equipment or expertise is not available, a balloon tamponade can be used as an alternative to provide temporary relief and stabilize the patient's condition.Rate this question:

Gastric Lavage is performed to improve .
- A.
Hearing
- B.
Visualization
- C.
Speech
- D.
Pain Tolerance
Correct Answer
B. VisualizationExplanation
Gastric lavage is a medical procedure in which the stomach is washed out with a saline solution. It is performed to improve visualization of the stomach and its contents. By flushing out the stomach, any ingested toxins, medications, or foreign bodies can be removed, allowing healthcare professionals to better visualize the stomach and identify any potential issues or abnormalities. This procedure can be particularly useful in cases of poisoning or overdose, as it helps to remove harmful substances from the stomach and prevent further absorption into the body.Rate this question:

- D.
Bright
Correct Answer
D. BrightExplanation
Bright blood in the stool, also known as hematochezia, refers to the presence of fresh blood. This can indicate bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract, such as the rectum or colon. The blood appears bright red because it has not had time to be digested and darken. It is important to seek medical attention if bright blood is observed in the stool, as it may be a sign of a serious underlying condition such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or gastrointestinal bleeding.Rate this question:
