Question 1

Which condition is due to an overproduction of parathyroid hormone resulting in muscle weakness, fatigue, and hypertension?&#10;A)Hypothyroidism&#10;B)Hyperparathyroidism&#10;C)Hypoparathyroidism&#10;D)Hyperthyroidism

Accepted Answer

Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in which there is excessive production of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands, leading to increased levels of calcium in the blood. This can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and hypertension, among other symptoms. Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, results from a deficiency of thyroid hormone and causes symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, and cold intolerance. Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone, leading to low levels of calcium in the blood, which can cause muscle cramps and seizures. Hyperthyroidism is caused by an overactive thyroid gland and causes symptoms such as weight loss, tremors, and rapid heart rate.

Question 2

Which statement characterizes Cushing syndrome?&#10;A)Thickening of the skin&#10;B)Fatigue and muscle weakness&#10;C)Rapid wound healing&#10;D)Enlarged arms and legs

Accepted Answer

Cushing syndrome is often associated with symptoms like fatigue and muscle weakness.

Answer: A 
 Thickening of the skin can indeed be a characteristic of Cushing syndrome, as the condition can cause excess collagen production.

Answer: D 
 Enlargement of the arms and legs is not typically associated with Cushing syndrome.

Answer: None of the above 
 Rapid wound healing is actually not a symptom of Cushing syndrome – in fact, the opposite is more likely to be true, as the condition can interfere with normal healing processes.

Question 3

Which disease is due to overproduction of growth hormone by the pituitary, causing gigantism during childhood or acromegaly during adulthood?&#10;A)Hypopituitarism&#10;B)Hypoparathyroidism&#10;C)Hyperthyroidism&#10;D)Hyperpituitarism

Accepted Answer

Hyperpituitarism is the overproduction of hormones by the pituitary gland, which can lead to conditions such as gigantism during childhood or acromegaly during adulthood, caused by the overproduction of growth hormone.

Question 4

Which statement describes thyroid cancer?&#10;A)Men are 3 times more likely to develop it than women.&#10;B)The most common symptom is voice hoarseness.&#10;C)The 5-year survival rate is 97%.&#10;D)Use deep pressure over areas affected by peripheral neuropathy.

Accepted Answer

Thyroid cancer has a high survival rate, with the 5-year survival rate being 97%. Options A and B are incorrect as thyroid cancer is more common in women and the most common symptom is a painless lump in the neck. Option D is also incorrect as it describes a technique for managing peripheral neuropathy, which is a different medical condition.

Question 5

Massage considerations for a client whose body is underdeveloped (as in dwarfism) as a result of hypopituitarism include:&#10;A)sessions of shorter duration to reduce stimulation of the pituitary gland.&#10;B)sessions of longer duration to increase stimulation of the pineal gland.&#10;C)treatment modifications are unnecessary.&#10;D)treatment is contraindicated.

Accepted Answer

Treatment modifications are unnecessary as long as the massage therapist adapts their approach to the client's specific needs and limitations. Communication with the client about their condition and any potential concerns is important.

Question 6

Which condition results from diminished function of the parathyroid gland leading to hypocalcemia?&#10;A)Hyperthyroidism&#10;B)Hypoglycemia&#10;C)Hypoparathyroidism&#10;D)Hyperparathyroidism

Accepted Answer

Hypoparathyroidism is a condition resulting from diminished function of the parathyroid gland, leading to a decrease in the level of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia). Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by low blood sugar levels. Hyperparathyroidism results from the overproduction of parathyroid hormone, leading to an increase in calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia).

Question 7

Which condition results in dry skin, making massage using an emollient lubricant helpful for the client?&#10;A)Hyperthyroidism&#10;B)Hypoglycemia&#10;C)Hyperparathyroidism&#10;D)Hypoparathyroidism

Accepted Answer

Hypoparathyroidism is a condition in which the parathyroid glands do not produce enough parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in low levels of calcium in the blood. This can lead to dry skin, as calcium is important for maintaining healthy skin. Massage using an emollient lubricant can help to moisturize and nourish the skin, making it a helpful treatment for clients with this condition.

Question 8

Vigorous massage within the client's tolerance is indicated for a client with diabetes insipidus if the client:&#10;A)has orange juice readily available if glucose levels drop.&#10;B)is without any associated conditions.&#10;C)has good vitality.&#10;D)takes medication regularly.

Accepted Answer

The option of "has good vitality" is the best choice for the given situation as vigorous massage can be safely performed on a client with diabetes insipidus only if the client has good vitality. This means that the client has good physical strength and resilience to tolerate the intense pressure and movements of vigorous massage. The other options, such as having orange juice readily available, being without associated conditions, and taking medication regularly, do not directly relate to the ability to tolerate vigorous massage.

Question 9

The three Ps of diabetes mellitus are:&#10;A)pallor, petechiae, and psoriasis.&#10;B)polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia.&#10;C)pain, pallor, and papule.&#10;D)panic, palpitations, and paroxysm.

Accepted Answer

The three Ps of diabetes mellitus are polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (excessive thirst), and polyphagia (excessive hunger). These symptoms are caused by the body's inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance.

Question 10

Which condition results from diminished function of the parathyroid gland leading to hypocalcemia?&#10;A)Hyperthyroidism&#10;B)Hypoglycemia&#10;C)Hypoparathyroidism&#10;D)Hyperparathyroidism

Accepted Answer

Hypoparathyroidism is a condition where there is decreased function of the parathyroid gland, leading to low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and ultimately hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in the blood). This can result in symptoms such as muscle cramps, tingling sensations, and seizures. Hyperthyroidism is a condition where there is overactivity of the thyroid gland, and hyperparathyroidism is a condition where there is overactivity of the parathyroid gland, leading to high levels of PTH and hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood). Hypoglycemia is a condition where there is low blood sugar levels.
