Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The characteristic trait of ankylosing spondylitis is progressive loss of the spinal ROM and eventual kyphosis. Synovial joint involvement is not associated with the disease, and a butterfly rash and multisystem involvement are associated with SLE. Decreased bone density does not normally accompany ankylosing spondylitis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

Initial symptoms of FES are a subtle change in behavior and signs of disorientation resulting from emboli in the cerebral circulation combined with respiratory depression. There may be complaints of substernal chest pain and dyspnea accompanied by tachycardia and low-grade fever. Diaphoresis, pallor, and cyanosis become evident as respiratory function deteriorates. It would be expected that the patient have lower abdominal and back pain since they have a pelvic fracture. The normal urine output is a minimum of 30 mL/hour.
