Which of the following is a vein in the arm, commonly used for IV access during advance cardiac life support?

brachial vein

This artery provides primary blood supply to the pancreas

superior mesenteric artery

This artery is the most common site for peripheral aneurysm.

popliteal artery

DVTs occur more commonly in this area:

left iliac vein

This vein is found beneath the collarbone

subclavian vein

Jaundice is one typical sign of:

sickle cell anemia.

aplastic anemia.

iron deficiency anemia.

acute leukemia.

sickle cell anemia

All of the following apply to vitamin K EXCEPT:

it is used as an antidote for warfarin (Coumadin).

the liver requires it to produce prothrombin.

it is a fat-soluble vitamin.

the bone marrow requires it to synthesize hemoglobin.

Which of the following diagnostic tests would be within the normal range for an individual with hemophilia A? Bleeding time Coagulation time PTT time Prothrombin time

bleeding time

Which of the following would result from a reduced number of erythrocytes in the blood? Increased hemoglobin in the blood Decreased hematocrit Increased risk of hemostasis Decreased osmotic pressure of the blood

decreased hematocrit

Petechiae and purpura are common signs of: excessive hemolysis. leucopenia. increased bleeding. hemoglobin deficit.

increased bleeding

Why is excessive bleeding a common occurrence with acute leukemia? Deficit of calcium ions Impaired production of prothrombin and fibrinogen Decreased platelets Dysfunctional thrombocytes

decreased platelets

Which of the following applies to the leukemias? Chronic leukemias are more common in older people. AML is the most common childhood leukemia. Exposure to chemicals is not considered a predisposing factor. Lymphoid tissue produces abnormal leukocytes.

Chronic leukemias are more common in older people.

What are the two circulations that comprise the overall circulatory system? Pulmonary and systemic circulations Peripheral and central circulations Cardiovascular and lymphatic circulations Cardiopulmonary and peripheral circulations

Pulmonary and systemic circulations

Which of the following occurs when disseminated intravascular coagulation develops? Increased thrombocytes and blood clotting Hemolysis with loss of blood cells Massive sepsis and hemorrhage Multiple thrombi and deficit of clotting factors

multiple thrombi and deficit of clotting factors

Individuals with type O blood are considered to be universal donors because their blood: contains A and B antibodies. contains A and B antigens. lacks A and B antibodies. lacks A and B antigens.

lacks A and B antigens.

Chronic blood loss causes anemia because of the: shortened life span of the erythrocytes. lower metabolic rate. loss of protein and electrolytes. smaller amount of recycled iron available

smaller amount of recycled iron available

Predisposing factors to leukemia commonly include: exposure to radiation. certain fungal and protozoal infections. familial tendency. cigarette smoking.

exposure to radiation.

What are the typical early general signs and symptoms of anemia? Chest pain, palpitations Jaundice, stomatitis Pallor, dyspnea, and fatigue Bradycardia, heat intolerance

Pallor, dyspnea, and fatigue

Which of the following applies to the condition disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)? It is usually a secondary complication. It is always initiated by excessive bleeding. It results in an inability of platelets to adhere. It is not life threatening.

It is usually a secondary complication.

Vitamin K is required by the liver to synthesize: heparin. prothrombin. amino acids. bilirubin.

prothrombin

Which of the following substances acts as an anticoagulant? Prothrombin Heparin Fibrinogen Vitamin K

heprin

Why is pernicious anemia treated with injections of vitamin B12? An immune reaction in the stomach would destroy the vitamin. Digestive enzymes would destroy the vitamin. The vitamin irritates the gastric mucosa. The ingested vitamin would not be absorbed into the blood.

The ingested vitamin would not be absorbed into the blood.

What is the primary treatment for the leukemias? Radiation Chemotherapy Surgery Immunotherapy

chemotherapy

Capillary walls consist of: multiple endothelial layers. a thick layer of smooth muscle. two or three epithelial layers. a single endothelial layer.

a single endothelial layer

Thrombophilia can result in conditions such as: severe chronic kidney disease. peripheral vascular disease. deficient calcium levels in the long bones. excessive bleeding of hematomas.

peripheral vascular disease

Multiple opportunistic infections develop with acute leukemia primarily because: the number of white blood cells is decreased. many circulating leukocytes are immature. severe anemia interferes with the immune response. decreased appetite and nutritional intake reduce natural defenses.

many circulating leukocytes are immature.
