In general, therapeutic interventions for a patient with osteoporosis will probably include drugs that

decrease osteoclastic activity

increase the kidneys tubular secretion of calcium into the urine.

increase resorption of calcium

suppress calcitonin

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Decrease osteoclastic activity: Osteoporosis treatments often focus on reducing osteoclastic activity, which is responsible for bone resorption, thereby helping to maintain or increase bone density.

B. Increase the kidneys' tubular secretion of calcium into the urine: This would decrease calcium levels in the body, which is not desired in osteoporosis treatment, as it would worsen bone density.

C. Increase resorption of calcium: Increasing bone resorption would exacerbate osteoporosis by weakening the bones further.

D. Suppress calcitonin: Calcitonin helps to inhibit bone resorption, so suppressing it would be counterproductive in treating osteoporosis.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Appendicitis: Appendicitis typically presents with right lower quadrant pain, not LLQ pain.

B. Barrett's esophagus: Barrett's esophagus is a condition associated with chronic GERD and does not cause leukocytosis, fever, or LLQ pain.

C. Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis often presents with LLQ pain, fever, and leukocytosis due to inflammation or infection of the diverticula in the colon.

D. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): IBS may cause abdominal pain, but it does not cause fever or leukocytosis, and the pain is typically relieved with defecation and not localized to the LLQ.

A. Ischemia of the brain tissue is causing cellular injury, swelling and malfunction of the contralateral side B. The functioning of the right cranial nerve controlling facial movement is compromised by cerebral edema C. The sensorimotor tracts leading from the brain to the body decussate and control the arm and leg on the same side as the lesion, D. The corticospinal tracts leading from the brain to the body decussate and control the ipsilateral arm and leg.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Ischemia of the brain tissue is causing cellular injury, swelling, and malfunction of the contralateral side: Hemiparesis occurs on the side opposite to the brain lesion due to the crossing (decussation) of motor pathways.

B. The functioning of the right cranial nerve controlling facial movement is compromised by cerebral edema: While facial nerve involvement can cause drooping, the hemiparesis suggests a central (brain) rather than peripheral issue.

C. The sensorimotor tracts leading from the brain to the body decussate and control the arm and leg on the same side as the lesion: This is incorrect because the tracts control the contralateral side of the body.

D. The corticospinal tracts leading from the brain to the body decussate and control the ipsilateral arm and leg: This is incorrect; the corticospinal tracts control the contralateral side.
