==================================
1-The symptoms of allergen-mediated asthma result from which
of the following ?
A-Increased release of mediators from mast cells .
B-Increased adrenergic responsiveness of the airways.
C-Increased vascular permeability of bronchial tissue.
D-Decreased calcium influx into the mast cells.
_______________________________________________
2-Acute exacerbations of asthma can be triggered by all of
the following except :
A-Bacterial or viral pneumonia.
B-Hypersensitivity reaction to penicillin.
C-Discontinuation of asthma medication .
D-Hot , dry weather.
_______________________________________________
3-A 15-year-old female is brought to the emergency department
She is breathing 30 times per minute,is unable to speak in
full sentences, and has a peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)
<50% predicted.The preferred first-line therapy for her
asthma exacerbation is :
A-Theophylline.
B-b-agonist.
C-Corticosteroid.
D-B and c.
____________________________
4-The primary goals of asthma therapy in an adult patient
include all of the following except :
A-Maintain normal activity levels.
B-Avoid adverse effects of asthma medications.
C-prevent acute exacerbations and chronic symptoms.
D-prevent destruction of lung tissue.
_____________________________
5-Which of the following tests is used at home to assess
therapy and determine
if a patient with asthma should seek emergency care ?
A-Forced expiratory volume is one second (FEV1).
B-Forced vital capacity (FVC).
C-Total lung capacity (TLC).
D-Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).
________________________________
6-Chronic bronchitis is characterized by excessive mucus
production by the tracheobronchial tree,which results in
airway obstruction as a result of edema and bronchial
inflammation.
A-True
B-False
___________________
7-Airway inflammation is not crucial to development of asthma
and contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness , air flow
obstruction respiratory symptoms, and disease chronicty.
A-True
B-False
__________________________________
8-Short-acting B-agonists
(albuterol,levalbuterol,pirbuterol,metaproterenol)are best
reserved for worsening symptoms of asthma.
A-True
B-False
____________________________
9-B-Adrenergic blockers (espacially nonselective agents as
propranolol) preciptate bronchospasm and increase the dose of
B-agonist necessary to achieve bronchodilation.
A-True
B-False
____________________________
10-Corticosteroids suppress the inflammatory response and
increase airway hyperresponsiveness.
A-True
B-False
