front 13 Which group of clinical findings describes the typical presentation of ALL (acute lymphoid leukemia)? | back 13 Pain in long bones, infection, fever, bruising |
front 14 Dramatic hypotension sometimes accompanies type I hypersensitivity reactions, because | back 14 massive histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation. |
front 15 An important mediator of a type I hypersensitivity reaction is | back 15 histamine. |
front 16 What is the effect on resistance if the radius of a vessel is halved? | back 16 Resistance increases by a factor of 16. |

front 19 Which disorder is considered a primary immunodeficiency disease? | back 19 HIV/AIDS |
front 20 A 58-year-old woman is seen in the clinic for reports of severe back pain. Her chest x-ray demonstrates generalized bone demineralization and compression fracture. Blood studies demonstrate elevated calcium levels. The most likely diagnosis is | back 20 myeloma. |
front 21 A laboratory test finding helpful in confirming the diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia is | back 21 elevated total iron-binding capacity. |
front 22 A deficiency of von Willebrand factor impairs | back 22 platelet adhesion to injured tissue. |
front 23 Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease. | back 23 True (Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease.) |
front 24 What is necessary for red blood cell production? | back 24 Iron |
front 25 Activation of the extrinsic pathway of coagulation is initiated by | back 25 tissue thromboplastin. |
front 26 Which vessel normally demonstrates the most rapid blood flow? | back 26 The vena cava |
front 27 A patient is diagnosed with a tortuous blood vessel of the right hand that bleeds spontaneously. This patient presents with | back 27 telangiectasia. |
front 28 The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is a measure of the integrity of | back 28 the intrinsic pathway. |
front 29 The conversion of plasminogen to plasmin results in | back 29 fibrinolysis. |
front 30 Dysfunction of which organ would lead to clotting factor deficiency? | back 30 Liver |
front 31 Excessive red cell lysis can be detected by measuring the serum | back 31 bilirubin. |
front 32 The arterial oxygen content (CaO2) for a patient with PaO2 100 mm Hg, SaO2 95%, and hemoglobin 15 g/dL is _____ mL oxygen/dL. | back 32 19.4 |
front 33 When systemic vascular resistance is decreased, blood flow | back 33 decreases. |
front 34 The only known curative treatment for CML is allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from a suitable donor. | back 34 True (Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from a suitable donor is the only curative treatment for CML.) |
front 35 The primary source of erythropoietin is provided by the | back 35 kidney. |
front 36 Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of | back 36 intrinsic factor. |
front 37 A cause of thrombocytopenia includes | back 37 chemotherapy. |
front 38 Two of the most serious oncology emergencies associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma are obstruction of the superior vena cava and compression of the spinal cord. | back 38 True (Compression of the spinal cord is one of the two most serious oncology emergencies associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.) |
