Module 4 Practice Quiz
1. Acute bursitis is an inflammation of the fluid filled portion of a join in the
shoulder. Resting the joint, intermittent ice and heat, and NSAIDS are
included in the conservative management of acute bursitis.
2. Sickle cell crisis: low grade fever, tachycardia, and pain from the tissue
hypoxia and necrosis.
3. Chronic cholecystitis occurs following several bouts of cholecystitis. The
repeated episodes of inflammation result in a fibrotic and contracted
gallbladder. Because of inflammation in the gallbladder, bile needed to
absorb fat- and fat-soluble vitamins is unable to enter the bowel,
resulting in steatorrhea (fatty stools). Right upper quadrant pain that can
radiate to the back or the right scapular. Jaundice can occur.
4. Biliary obstruction results in excretion of bile through the kidneys, rather
than the bowel, which results in dark colored urine.
5. Diabetes mellitus: reduce cholesterol and saturated fat intake since most
DM patients die from myocardial infarction or heart failure. Keep LDL
below 100 mg/dl. Increase physical activity and exercise daily to improve
lipid profile and reduce risk for heart disease. Smoking cessation is
important since it can cause vasoconstriction of vessels. Vasoconstriction
increases risk for MI and stroke. Maintain optimal BP to prevent kidney
damage. Nephropathy is a pathologic change in the kidney and that
reduces function and leads to kidney failure. Diabetes is the leading cause
of end-stage kidney disease.
6. Chemotherapy: avoid drinking liquids an hour before treatments since it
can cause nausea and vomiting. Increase calorie intake.

dried beans impairs absorption.

, contraction decreases.
9. Maternal newborn blood group incompatibility is the most common form of
pathologic jaundice, and the jaundice appears within the first 24 hours of
life. Physiologic jaundice occurs AFTER 24 hours. Maternal cocaine use: too
small for gestational age, tremors, irritability, hyperactivity to stimuli, and
poor feeding.
10. Heart sounds: turbulence between S1 and S2 heart sounds is a systolic
murmur. Third heart sound is an extra sound that is low pitched and
occurs in early diastole. A fourth heart sound is an extra heart sound that
is low pitched and occurs in late diastole.
