1.After trying out a new restaurant, you wake up in the middle
of the night violently ill, with significant projectile vomiting,
likely as a result of food poisoning. Which of the following
conditions is most likely to be the result of multiple bouts of
vomiting?
a.respiratory alkalosis
b.respiratory acidosis
c.metabolic alkalosis
d.metabolic acidosis
e.none of these would result from projectile vomiting
2.A patient has been hospitalized with the following symptoms:
involuntary skeletal muscle contractions, tingling fingers, mental
confusion, and weak heart contractions/arrhythmias. Which of
following is most likely to be the cause?
a.high levels of potassium (hyperkalemia)
b.low level of chloride (hypochloremia)
c.high levels of sodium (hypernatremia)
d.low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia)
e.high levels of calcium (hypercalcemia)
3.During the COVID19 pandemic, there has been much discussion
about 'flattening the curve' (or reducing transmission). Once the
curve has begunto flatten, what can we deduce about its
epidemiology?
a.incidence is increasing; prevalence is decreasing
b.incidence is decreasing; prevalence is increasing
c.both incidence and prevalence are increasing
d.both incidence and prevalence are decreasinge.both incidence
and prevalence remain unchanged
4.Which of the following is NOT recommended as a short-term
therapy for acute inflammation?
a.elevation
b.moderate activity/movement
c.rest
d.ice
e.compression
