Advanced Pathophysiology Week 3 Quiz- Version 3
Question 1
pts
Clinical manifestations of mild to moderate splenomegaly and hepatomegaly, bronze-colored skin, and
cardiac dysrhythmias are indicative of which anemia?
Correct Answer
Sideroblastic
Pernicious
You Answered
Iron deficiency
Aplastic
Mild to moderate enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly) and liver (hepatomegaly)
occurs. Occasionally, abnormal skin pigmentation (bronze colored) is seen. Heart
rhythm disturbances, along with congestive heart failure, are major life-threatening
complications related to cardiac iron overload.
Question 2
pts
What is the pathophysiologic process of aplastic anemia?
Inherited genetic disorder with recessive X-linked transmission
Autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated immunoglobulins
Malignancy of the bone marrow in which unregulated proliferation of erythrocytes crowd out other blood
cells
Correct!
Autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated cytotoxic T cells
Most cases of AA result from an autoimmune disease directed against hematopoietic
stem cells. Cytotoxic T cells (Tc cells) appear to be the main culprits.
Question 3
pts
Which anemia produces small, pale erythrocytes?
Hemolytic
Folic acid
Pernicious
Correct!
, Iron deficiency
The microcytic-hypochromic anemias, which include iron deficiency anemia (IDA), are
characterized by erythrocytes that are abnormally small and contain abnormally
reduced amounts of hemoglobin.
Question 4
pts
Symptoms of polycythemia vera are mainly the result of
destruction of erythrocytes.
a decreased erythrocyte count.
neurologic involvement.
Correct!
increased blood viscosity.
As the disease progresses many of the symptoms are related to the increased blood
cellularity and viscosity.
Question 5
pts
A woman complains of chronic gastritis, fatigue, weight loss, and tingling in her fingers. Laboratory
findings show low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, and a high mean corpuscular volume. These
findings are consistent with _____ anemia.
folate deficiency
iron deficiency
aplastic
Correct!
pernicious
Gastric atrophy commonly occurs in the presence of type A chronic gastritis and may be
autoimmune. Autoantibodies against gastric parietal cells are frequently observed.
When the hemoglobin level in the blood has decreased significantly (7 to 8 g/dl), the
individual experiences the classic symptoms of anemia—weakness, fatigue,
paresthesias of the feet and fingers, difficulty in walking, loss of appetite, abdominal
pains, and weight loss.
Question 6
pts
The body compensates for anemia by
capillary vasoconstriction.
