Question

question 45 (2 points)
tympany heard on percussion usually indicates:
fluid accumulation
normal air - filled bowel
organomegaly
peritoneal inflammation
question 46 (2 points)
buerger’s disease primarily affects which of the following?
non - smokers with diabetes
smokers with inflammation of small/medium arteries
elderly with high cholesterol
children with congenital heart defects

Explanation:

• For Question 45: Tympany on percussion is a resonant sound typically heard over a normal air - filled bowel. Fluid accumulation would give a dull sound, organomegaly can cause dullness or abnormal percussion notes depending on the organ, and peritoneal inflammation may cause tenderness on percussion rather than tympany.
• For Question 46: Buerger's disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans, is an inflammatory disease that primarily affects smokers and causes inflammation of small and medium - sized arteries.

Answer:

Question 45: Normal air - filled bowel
Question 46: Smokers with inflammation of small/medium arteries
