Question 11 - Single Best Answer
An 85 year old black male presents for an annual exam. On auscultation of his heart, no abnormalities are found. However, a carotid bruit(sound indicating turbulence or loud blood flow at the carotid artery) is heard bilaterally. This is usually associated with atherosclerosis(hardening of the arteries). The remainder of the exam is normal. What is the most immediately worrisome complication associated with these findings? OK THIS IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION BUT YOU'LL BE AHEAD OF THE GAME 2ND YR IF YOU REMEMBER IT!
A) There are no risks associated with these findings.
B) lung cancer
C) Death secondary to cardiovascular damage to vital organs such as the brain and heart.
D) high blood pressure

D) metaplasia
Question 15 - Single Best Answer
A patient comes in to the ER with a complaint of back pain that "throbs". His blood pressure is rapidly decreasing(a bad sign) and his pulse is rapidly increasing in order to maintain blood circulation. This occurs when the aortic wall separates and blood fills the new space rather than move distally to the tissues. Also, the cardiovascular system detects this as acute blood loss so the pulse increases. This process is known as aortic dissection. Find the photo of a normal aorta.
