Questions and Answers

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is:

  • combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis (correct)
  • an illness with an increase in airflow through the respiratory tract
  • a disease with a reduction in the total lung capacity (correct)
  • late complication of ARDS
  • early complication of ARDS

Indicate the false sentence about pneumonia of Staphylococcus aureus etiology:

  • often complicates with lung abscess and pleural empyema
  • never occurs as environmentally acquired acute pneumonia (correct)
  • is a frequent representative of hospital acquired pneumonia
  • risk factors of staphylococcal pneumonia are: diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease
  • causes secondary pneumonia after viral respiratory diseases

Choose the true sentence:

  • small cell lung cancer is chemosensitive
  • adenocarcinoma shows intercellular bridges and horn pearls in microscopic slides
  • squamous cell lung carcinoma shows intracellular mucus production in microscopic slides
  • carcinoid is a benign tumor (correct)
  • anaplastic large cell lung carcinoma has the best prognosis among all lung cancers

Flashcards

COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, characterized by reduced lung capacity.

Secondary pneumonia

Pneumonia that occurs following a viral respiratory disease, often related to bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus.

Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia

A type of pneumonia that complicates with lung abscess and pleural empyema, mainly hospital-acquired.

Risk factors for Staphylococcus pneumonia

Diabetes, COPD, and chronic kidney disease increase risk for staphylococcal pneumonia.

Study Notes

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  • COPD is a reduction in total lung capacity
  • It's NOT an increase in airflow through the respiratory tract
  • COPD can be a late complication of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
  • COPD can be an early complication of ARDS

Pneumonia of Staphylococcus Aureus

  • Secondary pneumonia can result from viral respiratory illnesses.
  • Lung abscess and pleural empyema are complications
  • It's NOT a common form of hospital-acquired pneumonia
  • It's NOT an environmentally acquired type of pneumonia
  • Risk factors include diabetes, COPD, and kidney disease.

Lung Cancer Types

  • Anaplastic large cell lung carcinoma is NOT the cancer with the best prognosis
  • Adenocarcinoma does NOT show intercellular bridges and horn pearls
  • Small cell lung cancer IS indeed chemosensitive.
  • Squamous cell lung cancers show intracellular mucus production.
  • Carcinoid IS a benign tumor.
