Pathology--Final
An inflammatory exudate caused by pneumococcus causing the affected lung to appear solid of radiopaque is called:
alveolar pneumonia
Pneumococcal infection causing affected lung alveoli to apprear solid
alveolar pneumonia
External respiration takes place within the:
alveoli
Thymoma is a lesion in the _______ mediastinum:
anterior
The lung disease that is a highly volatile microbe because of its ease of transmission and high fatality rate is:
anthrax
Esophageal or gastric contents in the lung causes pneumonia
aspiration pneumonia
Common allergens causing a widespread narrowing of the airways are:
asthma
A condition of diminished air within the lung associated with reduced lung volume is:
atelectasis
All pyogens have the ability to invade blood vessels to produce
bacteremia
Staph infection originating in the bronchi or broncial mucosa
bronchopneumonia
The general term used to describe obstruction of the airways leading to an ineffective exchange of respiratory gases is:
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
The hereditary disease process characterized by the excretion of viscous mucus blocking the air passage is:
cystic fibrosis
A crippling and debilitating condition resulting from trapped air causing a loss of elasticity on the alveoli and a dramatic increase in lung air volume is called:
emphysema
Infected fluid of frank pus in the pleural space is an:
empyema
A rare congenital abnormality in which one or both diaphragms are poorly developed and too weak to permit abdominal contents upward movement is:
eventration
An especially common systemic manifestation of acute inflammation is
fever
The newborn who experiences underaeration of the lungs resulting from lack of surfactant has:
hyaline membrane disease
Manifestations of disease caused by physicians and their treatment are called
iatrogenic
A localized area of ischemic necrosis within a tissue or organ produced by vascular occlusion
infarct
The initial response of body tissue to local injury
inflammmation
Viral of fungal infection preponderantly in the alveoli
interstitial pneumonia
A lung abscess is an:
necrotic area containing purulent material
The serous membrane lining that adheres to the chest wall is the:
parietal pleura
Which type of internal device is used for chemotherapy and long-term venous access?
peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)
The earliest sign of this disease process is fluid accumulation leading to blunting of the normal sharp angle between the diaphragm and the rib cage:
pleural effusion
Air in the cavity surrounding the lung is known as:
pneumothorax
Thrombi that develop in the deep venous system of the lower extremity and are trapped in the lung circulation are:
pulmonary emboli
Histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis are examples of:
pulmonary mycoses
Symptoms are the______ of the disease process
subjective
For what purpose is a chest radiograph obtained after endotracheal tube insertion?
to insure proper placement/position
Sharply circumscribed encapsulation if the tuberculosis bacilli is known as an:
tuberculoma
Inflammation caused by bacillus (mycobacterium) resulting in lesions ( or cavities) that may calcify and are usually found in the apicies is known as:
tuberculosis
Croup is a:
viral infection of the subglottic region of the trachea
Which of the following complications may occur as a result of central venous catheter insertion or misplacement?
1. pneumothorax 2. air embolism 3. puncture of the subclavian artery (All of the above) D. 1,2 and 3
To best demonstrate fluid levels in a chest x-ray:
1. the patient should be upright for a minimum of 5 minutes 3. a horizontal x-ray beam is used E. 1 and 3 only
