Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, B, C

Feedback:

Manifestations of pneumothorax include increase in respiratory rate, dyspnea, asymmetrical movements of the chest wall, especially during inspiration, hyperresonant sound on percussion, and decreased or absent breath sounds over the area of pneumothorax. The pulse oximetry reading is normal. ABG pH level of 7.38 is a normal finding.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Active filtration occurs when the whole blood enters via the afferent arteriole in to the glomerular capillaries, and the blood is then filtered into the Bowman space, removing plasma proteins. The filtrate that enters the proximal convoluted tubule and the loop of Henle is already free of plasma proteins.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
