Question 1

Stress:&#10;A)is present in most instances of respiratory distress&#10;B)may acutely exacerbate asthma&#10;C)causes the physical conditions of patients with heart failure to progressively deteriorate&#10;D)A,B,and C&#10;E)A and C

Accepted Answer

Stress is a factor in many health conditions. It is commonly present in instances of respiratory distress, can acutely exacerbate asthma by triggering bronchoconstriction, and can worsen the condition of patients with heart failure, often through mechanisms involving increased heart rate and blood pressure, which put additional strain on the heart.

Question 2

Wheezing may be present in patients with:&#10;A)paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea&#10;B)pulmonary edema&#10;C)asthma&#10;D)A,B,and C&#10;E)A and C

Accepted Answer

Wheezing can be present in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, pulmonary edema, and asthma. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are all correct.

Question 3

The peak incidence of heart failure for women is between __________ years.&#10;A)40 and 50&#10;B)50 and 60&#10;C)60 and 70&#10;D)70 and 80

Accepted Answer

The peak incidence of heart failure for women is between 60 and 70 years.

Question 4

Respiratory distress in younger patients (under age 10)is most commonly related to:&#10;A)asthma&#10;B)hyperventilation&#10;C)heart failure&#10;D)acute pulmonary edema

Accepted Answer

Asthma is the most common cause of respiratory distress in younger patients. It is characterized by wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Hyperventilation may also cause respiratory distress but is less common in younger patients. Heart failure and acute pulmonary edema are more commonly seen in older patients.

Question 5

During heart failure:&#10;A)systolic blood pressure is usually elevated to a greater degree than diastolic blood pressure&#10;B)diastolic blood pressure is usually elevated to a greater degree than systolic blood pressure&#10;C)systolic blood pressure is usually elevated and diastolic blood pressure falls&#10;D)diastolic blood pressure is usually elevated and systolic blood pressure falls

Accepted Answer

During heart failure, the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, which leads to a decrease in cardiac output. This decrease in cardiac output causes a decrease in systolic blood pressure and an increase in diastolic blood pressure.

Question 6

Patients with __________ usually do not experience chest pain along with their other clinical symptoms.&#10;A)hyperventilation&#10;B)asthma&#10;C)heart failure&#10;D)A and B&#10;E)B and C

Accepted Answer

The answer of Patients with __________ usually do not experience...

Question 7

Hyperventilation is associated with:&#10;A)exertion&#10;B)peripheral edema&#10;C)anxiety&#10;D)cough

Accepted Answer

Hyperventilation is often the result of anxiety, stress or panic attacks. It leads to over-breathing which can cause dizziness, tingling in the extremities, and other symptoms. It is not typically associated with exertion, peripheral edema, or cough.

Question 8

Respiratory distress becomes progressively more severe for a dental patient with:&#10;A)heart failure as the dental chair is inclined toward a sitting up position&#10;B)heart failure as the dental chair is reclined toward the supine position&#10;C)asthma as the dental chair is reclined toward the supine position&#10;D)hyperventilation as the dental chair is reclined toward the supine position

Accepted Answer

Reclining the dental chair toward the supine position can worsen respiratory distress for patients with heart failure due to increased venous return and decreased cardiac output. This can lead to pulmonary edema and compromised breathing. In contrast, inclining the dental chair toward a sitting up position can be helpful for patients with heart failure as it reduces venous return and helps with breathing. Asthma and hyperventilation may also be exacerbated by reclining the dental chair, but heart failure is the best answer choice.

Question 9

Which of the following conditions is/are associated with cyanosis?&#10;A)heart failure&#10;B)severe asthma with hypoxia&#10;C)hyperventilation&#10;D)A and B&#10;E)B and C

Accepted Answer

Cyanosis is associated with conditions that lead to decreased oxygenation of the blood, such as heart failure and severe asthma with hypoxia. Hyperventilation, on the other hand, typically increases oxygen levels and decreases carbon dioxide levels in the blood, not leading to cyanosis.

Question 10

No clinical signs and symptoms of _____________ are present between episodes of respiratory distress.&#10;A)heart failure&#10;B)intrinsic asthma&#10;C)extrinsic asthma&#10;D)hyperventilation

Accepted Answer

The answer of No clinical signs and symptoms of _____________...

Question 11

Respiratory distress associated with __________ may be associated with a frothy,pink-tinged sputum and cough.&#10;A)intrinsic asthma&#10;B)extrinsic asthma&#10;C)pulmonary edema&#10;D)hyperventilation

Accepted Answer

The answer of Respiratory distress associated with __________ may be...
