What term describes an embolus that travels from a venous source to pulmonary arteries?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Pulmonary thromboembolism

The core Hemodynamic disorders principle identifies Pulmonary thromboembolism as the best answer because it most directly explains the biochemical pathway or tissue response described in the stem.

Option by option

  • A. Aneurysm

    Aneurysm does not match the stated hemodynamic disorders mechanism.

  • B. Pulmonary thromboembolism (correct)

    Correct. Pulmonary thromboembolism is supported by the key clue given.

  • C. Hematoma

    Hematoma is relevant in another context but is not the best answer here.

  • D. Abscess

    Abscess does not account for the central finding in this sample.
