Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D,G

B.   Fever and chills are not associated with BPH; these symptoms suggest an infection or other underlying condition.
C.   Increased urinary frequency is a key symptom of BPH due to pressure on the urethra, making it more difficult to empty the bladder completely.
D.   Hesitancy in starting urine flow is common in BPH due to the obstruction of the urethra by the enlarged prostate.
E.   Hematuria is not a typical finding of BPH, though it can sometimes occur if the prostate is irritated.

Correct Answer is ["C","D"]

Explanation

A. Increasing the oxygen flow rate due to anxiety can worsen carbon dioxide retention, which is dangerous in COPD patients.
B. High-flow oxygen is typically not recommended for COPD patients because it can suppress respiratory drive.
C. Monitoring the respiratory rate and effort is crucial to ensure the patient is not retaining carbon dioxide or experiencing further respiratory distress.
D. Adjusting the oxygen flow rate to maintain a saturation level of 88-92% is recommended for COPD patients to prevent hypercapnia.
E. A non-rebreather mask is generally not used for COPD patients, as it can deliver too much oxygen, leading to carbon dioxide retention.
F. Encouraging deep breathing can help, but it is more important to focus on maintaining the proper oxygen saturation.

A. Persistence of manifestations B. No hypersensitivity to allergens C. Positive response to corticosteroids D. Asthma flare-ups during exercise E. Nasal inflammation F. Asthma flare-ups with NSAID administration

Correct Answer is ["B","D","F"]

Explanation

A. Nonallergic asthma typically persists throughout the year, not just during certain seasons or in response to allergens.
B. Nonallergic asthma occurs in the absence of hypersensitivity to allergens, so the patient will not exhibit typical allergic reactions.
C. Corticosteroids are often effective in managing both allergic and nonallergic asthma, so a positive response to corticosteroids is common.
D. Exercise-induced asthma flare-ups are common in nonallergic asthma, especially with physical activity.
E. Nasal inflammation is more common with allergic asthma than nonallergic asthma.
F. NSAIDs can trigger asthma flare-ups in some people with nonallergic asthma due to the effect on prostaglandins and inflammatory mediators.
