The danger from radiation exposure arises primarily from Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. the amount of exposure.
2. the long-lasting effects.
3. the amount of cellular death.
4. the gender of the patient exposed.
5. the amount of naloxone (Narcan) ingested after exposure.

Question 2

The primary functional unit of the kidney is the

1. loop of Henle.
2. Bowman's capsule.
3. nephron.
4. distal tubule.

Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Radiation exposure can cause mass casualty deaths at the point of impact and create residual ionizing radiation for miles around the site. Some radioisotopes emit radiation for decades and even centuries.
Rationale 2: Death may not be immediate but may result from long-lasting effects.
Rationale 3: When exposed to large amounts of radiation, or to small amounts over many decades, patients tend to develop certain malignancies (cellular death) such as leukemia or thyroid cancer.
Rationale 4: Gender is not a determinant of radiation exposure danger.
Rationale 5: Naloxone (Narcan) is not used to treat radiation exposure.
Global Rationale: Radiation exposure can cause mass casualty deaths at the point of impact and create residual ionizing radiation for miles around the site. Some radioisotopes emit radiation for decades and even centuries. Death may not be immediate but may result from long-lasting effects. When exposed to large amounts of radiation, or to small amounts over many decades, patients tend to develop certain malignancies (cellular death) such as leukemia or thyroid cancer. Gender is not a determinant of radiation exposure danger. Naloxone (Narcan) is not used to treat radiation exposure.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The loop of Henle filters.
Rationale 2: The Bowman's capsule filters the blood.
Rationale 3: The nephron is the functional unit, which receives blood.
Rationale 4: The distal tubule passes filtrate.
Global Rationale: The nephron is the functional unit, which receives blood. The loop of Henle filters. The Bowman's capsule filters the blood. The distal tubule passes filtrate.
