In which type of pleural effusion does the fluid become watery and diffuse out of the capillaries as a
result of increased blood pressure or decreased capillary oncotic pressure?
A. exudative
B. Purulent
C. Transudative
D. Large
ANS: C
In transudative pleural effusion, the fluid, or transudate, is watery and diffuses out of the capillaries as a
result of disorders that increase intravascular hydrostatic pressure or decrease capillary oncotic
pressure. The described mechanism is not associated with the other forms of pleural effusion.

Research has shown a link between cancer and which sexually transmitted disease?
A. Syphilis
B. Gonorrhea
C. HPV
D. Pelvic inflammatory disease
ANS: C
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States. High-
risk, or oncogenic, HPVs can cause cancer. A persistence of infection with high-risk HPV is a prerequisite
for the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) lesions and invasive cervical cancers. No
research supports such a link between the remaining options and
Research data support a carcinogenic relationship in children resulting from exposure to which virus?
A. Herpes simplex virus
B. Influenza
C. Varicella zoster virus
D. Epstein-Barr virus
ANS: D
The strongest association between viruses and the development of cancer in children has been the
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and Hodgkin disease. No current
research supports a link between the remaining options and childhood cancer.
,A child diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has an increased risk of developing:
A. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma
B. Retinoblastoma
C. Eptein-Barr
D. Leukemia
ANS: A
Children with AIDS have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Kaposi sarcoma.
Leukemia is linked to retinoblastoma. Epstein-Barr has been linked to the development of some cancers,
whereas no known link has been found between AIDS and the development of leukemia.
In infectious mononucleosis (IM), what does the Monospot test detect?
A. IgE
B. IgM
C. IgG
D. IgA
ANS: B
Heterophile antibodies are a heterogeneous group of IgM antibodies that are agglutinins against
nonhuman red blood cells (e.g., sheep, horse) and are detected by qualitative (monospot) or
quantitative (heterophile antibody) test methods. This statement is not true of the other options.
Infectious mononucleosis is mostly caused by what virus?
Epstein-Barr virus

Prerenal injury from poor perfusion can result from which condition? (Select all that apply.)
a. bilateral ureteral obstruction
b. renal vasoconstriction
c. renal artery thrombosis
d. hemorrhage
e. hypostension
ANS: B, C, D, E
Poor perfusion can result from renal artery thrombosis, hypotension related to hypovolemia
(dehydration, diarrhea, fluid shifts) or hemorrhage, renal vasoconstriction and alterations in renal
regional blood flow, microthrombi, or kidney edema that restricts arterial blood flow. Bilateral ureteral
obstruction is not associated with prerenal injuries.

Hypercalciuria is primarily attributable to which alteration?
a. defective renal calcium reabsorption
b. intestinal hyperabsorption of dietary calcium
c. bone demineralization caused by prolonged immobilization
d. hyperparathyroidism
ANS: B
