MCQ 341 — SUBTLE CHANGE IN CONDITION / PATIENT CARE

A CNA is helping a resident who normally walks independently to the dining room. Today, the resident walks more slowly, holds onto the hallway railing, and says, “I just don't feel quite right.” The resident denies pain and asks to continue walking.

What is the CNA's BEST action?

A. Encourage the resident to continue because there is no pain
B. Walk beside the resident, keep the resident safe, and promptly report the change to the nurse
C. Return the resident to the room and tell the resident to remain in bed for the rest of the day
D. Ask another resident to accompany the resident to the dining room


Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A change from the resident's usual mobility and behavior can be an important change in condition. The CNA should maintain immediate safety and report the observation to the nurse rather than independently determining the cause or changing the care plan.

MCQ 330 — RENAL PHYSIOLOGY / RENIN–ANGIOTENSIN–ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM

A patient experiences a substantial decrease in renal perfusion. Activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system occurs. Which effect of angiotensin II contributes most directly to restoration of blood pressure?

A. Systemic vasodilation and reduced aldosterone secretion
B. Vasoconstriction and stimulation of aldosterone secretion
C. Increased urinary sodium loss and reduced thirst
D. Inhibition of sympathetic activity and increased renal blood flow
.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and also stimulates aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex. Aldosterone promotes renal sodium reabsorption, with water following sodium, helping increase extracellular fluid volume and support blood pressure.

MCQ 329 — LIVER ANATOMY / PORTAL CIRCULATION

A nurse explains to a patient how nutrients absorbed from the intestine reach the liver before entering the general circulation. Which vessel carries most nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver?

A. Hepatic artery
B. Hepatic portal vein
C. Inferior vena cava
D. Pulmonary vein
.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
The hepatic portal vein carries nutrient-rich venous blood from much of the gastrointestinal tract and associated organs to the liver. The liver processes, stores, and metabolizes many absorbed substances before blood enters the systemic circulation.

MCQ 328 — ELECTROLYTE PHYSIOLOGY / POTASSIUM

A patient has severe hyperkalemia. Which cardiac electrical abnormality is most directly related to the effect of elevated extracellular potassium on myocardial cells?

A. Increased resting membrane potential becoming more negative
B. Depolarization of the resting membrane potential with impaired cardiac conduction
C. Complete absence of potassium movement across cell membranes
D. Increased calcium storage inside the nucleus
.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
An increase in extracellular potassium reduces the potassium concentration gradient across the cell membrane. This makes the resting membrane potential less negative. With significant hyperkalemia, persistent depolarization can impair sodium-channel availability and cardiac conduction.
