Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Arthroscopy is endoscopic examination of the interior surfaces of a joint during which surgery and diagnosis can also be accomplished. Arthrocentesis is the clinical procedure of using a syringe to collect synovial fluid from a joint capsule; it is used in the diagnosis of gout, arthritis, and synovial infections. Atherogenesis the formation of subintimal plaques in the lining of arteries. Arthodesis is the artificial induction of joint ossification between two bones.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The patient will be prohibited from having an MRI due to the pacemaker. Metallic implants prevent the test because radio waves and magnetic fields are used. All tests have the capacity to promote patient concern and anxiety. This is a normal behavior and does not require physician notification. The presence of hypertension and reduced dietary intake will not have an adverse impact on the MRI results.
