Question

Which of the following may be a potential adverse effect as a result of a ventricular arrhythmia?

Question 38 options:

	1) increased cardiac oxygen demand
	2) increased cardiac perfusion
	3) increased stroke volume

Jaundice is more likely to be present in anemia due to which of the following?

Question 32 options:

	1) chronic GI blood loss anemia
	2) iron deficiency anemia
	3) sickle cell anemia
	4) acute hypovolemic anemia

Which of the following statements is correct?

Question 14 options:

	1) A patient has a clot in their femoral vein. The clot broke from that site and traveled in the blood to lodge in the pulmonary artery. This is a thrombus.
	2) A patient has a clot in their femoral vein. The clot broke from that site and traveled in the blood to lodge in the pulmonary artery. This is an embolism.

A patient with an ABO blood mismatch may have an increase in which of the following?

Question 29 options:

	1) unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin
	2) conjugated (direct) bilirubin
	3) neither conjugated or unconjugated bilirubin would be elevated

Answer 1

38) 1) increased cardiac oxygen demand

Explanation: ventricular arrythmia results in decrease in cardiac output due to irregular ventricular contraction. Increased myocardial oxygen demand will be mismatched with decreease cardiac output leading to myocardial ischemia which is the potential adverse effect .

32) 3) Sickle cell anemia

explanation: jaundice is the elevated bilirubin level in the blood. Bilirubin is formed from the hemoglobin from the destructed red cell. If there is increased red cell destruction, then it leads to increase bilirubin level in the blood leading to jaundice.

14) A patient has a clot in their femoral vein. The clot broke from that site and traveled in the blood to lodge in the pulmonary artery. This is an embolism.

29) 1) nconjugated (indirect) bilirubin

explanation: ABO mismatch transfusion lead to increased destruction of red cell. This increases the production of unconjugated bilirubin from the Hb of the RBC. As the production of unconjugated bilirubin exceeds the liver capacity of conjugation, this lead to increase in level of unconjugated bilirubin
