Question

question 157
gout is caused by:
hypoglycemia
hyperuricemia
hypotension
polycythaemia

question 158

lying flat
lying with feet above head level
sitting
standing

question 159

Explanation:

• Question 157: Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints. Hyperuricemia means high levels of uric acid in the blood, which is the direct cause of gout. Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar, hypotension is low blood pressure, and polycythaemia is an increase in red blood cells.
• Question 158: Orthostatic hypotension (also known as post - orthostatic hypotension) is a drop in blood pressure when a person stands up. To diagnose it, blood pressure is measured in different positions: lying flat (supine), sitting, and then standing. The key is the change in blood pressure when moving to the standing position. Lying with feet above head level is not a standard position for this diagnosis.
• Question 159: Myopia (myopic) is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry, and it is commonly known as nearsightedness. Cross - eyed is strabismus, wall - eyed is exotropia (a form of strabismus), and farsighted is hyperopia.

Answer:

• Question 157: Hyperuricemia
• Question 158: standing
• Question 159: nearsighted
