Question 1 of 5
In which patient is alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency the likely cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is more common in younger patients with a history of smoking at a younger age, like the 30-year-old who has smoked for 3 years. Choices B, C, and D are less likely to be associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as COPD in these cases is more likely due to smoking and environmental exposures.
Question 2 of 5
In which patient is alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency the likely cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is more common in younger patients with a history of smoking at a younger age, like the 30-year-old who has smoked for 3 years. Choices B, C, and D are less likely to be associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency as COPD in these cases is more likely due to smoking and environmental exposures.
Question 3 of 5
Where are most body fluids located?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Most body fluids are located within cells in the intracellular space. While the extracellular space also contains body fluids, the majority is found within the cells. Intravascular space refers to fluids within blood vessels, and transcellular space includes fluids in compartments like cerebrospinal, pleural, and peritoneal cavities.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following correctly identifies the plasma protein inflammatory mediator systems?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Complement, clotting, and kinin systems. These are the three main plasma protein inflammatory mediator systems. The complement system helps in inflammation and immune responses, the clotting system is involved in blood coagulation, and the kinin system regulates inflammation and blood pressure. Choice A is incorrect because interferon is not part of the plasma protein inflammatory mediator systems. Choice B is incorrect because the fibrinolytic system is not a primary inflammatory mediator system. Choice D is incorrect because acute phase reactants are not part of the plasma protein inflammatory mediator systems.
Question 5 of 5
A man with gout has developed large, hard nodules around his toes and elbows. The phase of gout he is in is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'chronic gout.' Chronic gout is characterized by the presence of tophi, which are large, hard nodules that can develop around joints like toes and elbows. These tophi are a sign of longstanding, untreated gout. Choice A, 'asymptomatic,' is incorrect as the presence of tophi indicates a symptomatic phase. Choice B, 'acute flare,' is incorrect as acute flares are characterized by sudden and severe pain, inflammation, and redness in the joints, not the development of tophi. Choice C, 'the intercritical period,' is also incorrect as this phase occurs between acute attacks and is typically asymptomatic, without the presence of tophi.
