QuestionWeek 3 quizQuestion 1. Susan P., a 60-year-old woman with a 30 pack year history, presents to your primary care practice for evaluation of a persistent, daily cough with increased sputum production, worse in the morning, occurring over the past three months. She tells you, “I have the same thing, year after year.” Which of the following choices would you consider strongly in your critical thinking process?Seasonal allergiesAcute bronchitisBronchial asthmaChronic bronchitisQuestion 2. A patient presents complaining of a 5 day history of upper respiratory symptoms including nasal congestion and drainage. On the day the symptoms began he had a low-grade fever that has now resolved. His nasal congestion persisted and he has had yellow nasal drainage for three days associated with mild headaches. On exam he is afebrile and in no distress. Examination of his tympanic membranes and throat are normal. Examination of his nose is unremarkable although a slight yellowish-clear drainage is noted. There is tenderness when you lightly percuss his maxillary sinus. What would your treatment plan for this patient be?Observation and reassuranceTreatment with an antibiotic such as amoxicillinTreatment with an antibiotic such as a fluoroquinoline or amoxicillin-clavulanateCombination of a low dose inhaled corticosteroid and a long acting beta2 agonist inhaler.Question 3.Emphysematous changes in the lungs produce the following characteristic in COPD patients?Asymmetric chest expansionIncreased lateral diameterIncreased anterior-posterior diameterPectus excavatumQuestion 4. When palpating the posterior chest, the clinician notes increased tactile fremitus over the left lower lobe. This can be indicative of pneumonia. Areas of increased fremitus should raise the suspicion of conditions resulting in increased solidity or consolidation in the underlying lung tissue, such as in pneumonia, tumor, or pulmonary fibrosis. In the instance of an extensive bronchial obstruction:No palpable vibration is feltDecreased fremitus is feltIncreased fremitus is feltVibration is referred to the non-obstructed lobeQuestion 5. Your patient presents with complaint of persistent cough. After you have finished obtaining the History of Present Illness, you realize that the patient may be having episodes of wheezing, in addition to his cough. The most common cause of cough with wheezing is asthma. What of the following physical exam findings will support your tentative diagnosis of asthma?Clear, watery nasal drainage with nasal turbinate swellingPharyngeal exudate and lymphadenopathyClubbing, cyanosis and edema.Diminished lung sounds with rales in both basesQuestion 6.Which of the following imaging studies should be considered if a pulmonary malignancy is suspected?Computed tomography (CT) scanChest X-ray with PA, lateral, and lordotic viewsUltrasoundPositron emission tomography (PET) scanQuestion 7. A 26-year-old, non-smoker, male presented to your clinic with SOB with exertion. This could be due to:Exercise-induced coughBronchiectasisAlpha-1 deficiencyPericarditisQuestion 8. Upon assessment of respiratory excursion, the clinician notes asymmetric expansion of the chest. One side expands greater than the other. This could be due to:PneumothoraxPleural effusionPneumoniaPulmonary embolismQuestion 9. A 72-year-old woman and her husband are on a cross-country driving vacation. After a long day of driving, they stop for dinner.Midway through the meal, the  woman becomes very short of breath, with chest pain and a feeling of panic. Which of the following problems is most likely?Pulmonary edemaHeart failurePulmonary embolismPneumoniaQuestion 10. A cough is described as chronic if it has been present for:2 weeks or more8 weeks or more3 months or more6 months or moreQuestion 11. Testing is necessary for the diagnosis of asthma because history and physical are not reliable means of excluding other diagnoses or determining the extent of lung impairment. What is the study that is used to evaluate upper respiratory symptoms with new onset wheeze?Chest X-rayMethacholine challenge testSpirometry, both with and without bronchodilationVentilation/perfusion scanQuestion 12. In classifying the severity of your patient presenting with an acute exacerbation of asthma. You determine that they have moderate persistent symptoms based on the report of symptoms and spirometry readings of the last 3 weeks. The findings that support moderate persistent symptoms include:Symptoms daily with nighttime awakening more than 1 time a week. FEV1 >60%, but predicted <80%. FEV1/FVC reduced 5%Symptoms less than twice a week and less than twice a week nighttime awakening. FEV1 >80% predicted. FEV1/FVC normalSymptoms more than 2 days a week, but not daily. Nighttime awakenings 3-4 times a month. FEV1 >80% predicted. FEV1/FVC normalSymptoms throughout the day with nighttime awakenings every night. FEV1< 60% predicted. FEV1/FVC reduced >5%Question 13. The following criterion is considered a positive finding when determining whether a patient with asthma can be safely monitored and treated at home:Age over 40Fever greater than 101Tachypnea greater than 30 breaths/minuteProductive coughQuestion 14. Medications are chosen based on the severity of asthma. Considering the patient that is diagnosed with moderate persistent asthma, the preferred option for maintenance medication is:High-dose inhaled corticosteroid and leukotriene receptor antagonistOral corticosteroid—high and low dose as appropriateShort acting beta2 agonist inhaler and theophyllineLow dose inhaled corticosteroid and long acting beta2 agonist inhalerQuestion 15. A 75-year-old patient with community-acquired pneumonia presents with chills, productive cough, temperature of 102.1, pulse 100, respiration 18, BP 90/52, WBC 12,000, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) 22 mg/dl. He has a history of mild dementia and his mental status is unchanged from his last visit. These findings indicate that the patient:Can be treated as an outpatientRequires hospitalization for treatmentRequires a high dose of parenteral antibioticCan be treated with oral antibioticsQuestion 16. Which of the following is considered a “red flag” when diagnosing a patient with pneumonia?Fever of 102Infiltrates on chest X-rayPleural effusion on chest X-rayElevated white blood cell countQuestion 17. A 23-year-old patient who has had bronchiectasis since childhood is likely to have which of the following:Barrel-shaped chestClubbingPectus excavatumProlonged capillary refillQuestion 18. Your patient has just returned from a 6-month missionary trip to Southeast Asia. He reports unremitting cough, hemoptysis, and an unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds over the last month. These symptoms should prompt the clinician to suspect:Legionnaires’ diseaseMalariaTuberculosisPneumoniaQuestion 19. A 76-year-old patient with a 200-pack year smoking history presents with complaints of chronic cough, dyspnea, fatigue, hemoptysis, and weight loss over the past 2 months. The physical exam reveals decreased breath sounds and dullness to percussion over the left lower lung field. The chest X-ray demonstrates shift of the mediastinum and trachea to the left. These are classic signs of:Lung cancerTuberculosisPneumoniaCOPDQuestion 20. A 24-year-old patient presents to the emergency department after sustaining multiple traumatic injuries after a motorcycle accident.Upon examination, you note tachypnea, use of intercostal muscles to breathe, asymmetric chest  expansion, and no breath sounds over the left lower lobe. It is most important to suspect:Pulmonary embolismPleural effusionPneumothoraxFracture of ribs

Verbal and Nonverbal Components of Deception
This is a nongraded activity.
When you interact with others, you pay attention to both verbal and nonverbal cues. Verbal behavior is much easier to control than nonverbal communications. Many of the nonverbal components of communication are fleeting in nature and difficult to notice. However, scientists have studied and identified these microexpressions. They have also become the focus of several television crime shows, such as Lie to Me, which is based on the work of Paul Ekman.
Research Internet resources for the work of Paul Ekman in the field of microexpressions, and on the basis of your findings, respond to the following:

Identify verbal and nonverbal components of deception and nondeception. Provide two to three examples of facial and bodily expressions of emotions and the facial areas involved in deception.
Which are the emotions that are easier to control?
Which are the emotions that are difficult to control? Provide two to three examples of situations where the verbal and nonverbal expressions are not consistent with each other.
Are there some emotional expressions that cannot be controlled? Provide two to three examples of such emotions.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to cite sources.

Need a two page paper on this assignment
Need five peer reviewed references from the Ashford University Library
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings from the first three weeks as well as the articles you used in your literature review in Week Two.
During this course, you have been developing your knowledge in the area of learning and cognition. In the Week Two Assignment, there was special focus on the following constructs within learning and cognition:

The Neurosciences: A Look at Our Brains
Socio-Cognition: Social Interactions in Learning
Learning and Literacy: Reading, Writing and Language Development
Diversity and Culture: The Effects to Learning
Connectionism and Learning: A Web of Development

These constructs, along with others, influence a wide variety of disciplines in psychology and other fields. In the final week of this course, you will develop a handbook based on one of these constructs. This week, you will choose the construct that you will concentrate on for this project. The construct you choose should be based on the area in which you would most like to develop your knowledge. Your choice should also consider your current interests in psychology and support your future career goals.
Identify the audience for your handbook and the main construct in learning and cognition that will provide the focus of your handbook. Explain your motivation for using the chosen construct as your focus subject as well as how this construct aligns with your future career goals. Research five peer-reviewed articles in the Ashford University Library focusing on your chosen construct. These articles must provide sufficient information so that they will support your work in the handbook. See the instructions for the Learning and Cognition Handbook in Week Six for further clarification. Provide complete references for each of the five articles. Format your references according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Beneath each reference, provide an annotation that explains the theoretical perspectives, historical trends, and/or empirical findings within the article that describe and define your chosen construct. Provide a concluding paragraph that synthesizes the cognitive learning principles and theories found within the articles as they relate to your chosen construct.
As you prepare this assignment, keep in mind that it is designed to assist you with beginning the process of drafting your Learning and Cognition Handbook, which is due in Week Six. The paper should not include any quotes. It is recommended that your paper be checked in the Writing Reviser and through Turnitin prior to submission.
