NSG 533 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
EXAM 1 TEST BANK 2026 EXAM STUDY
GUIDE WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
⩥ etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and
outcomes. Answer: What are the five components of disease?
⩥ epidemiology. Answer: risk factors and distribution in populations
⩥ etiology. Answer: causative mechanisms
⩥ pathogenesis. Answer: disease mechanisms
⩥ clinical manifestations. Answer: signs, symptoms and diagnostic
criteria
⩥ outcomes. Answer: cure, remission, chronicity, or death
⩥ etiology. Answer: The "why" of the disease, what is the reason for it.
May be complex or straight forward
⩥ idiopathic. Answer: also called cryptogenic, known in cause or origin
,⩥ iatrogenic. Answer: occurs as a results of a medical or surgical
intervention (e.g. yeast infection after getting antibiotics)
⩥ epidemiology. Answer: this looks at the patterns of disease among
groups or populations. this complement represents the relationship
between numerous population characteristics and looks at the incidence
or prevalence of diease
⩥ incidence. Answer: the number of new cases occurring in a given
population with a given time period - usually a year. can be expressed as
a percentage
⩥ prevalence. Answer: involves the number of cases existing (both old
and new) at a given time period. Can be expressed as a percentage
⩥ pathogenesis. Answer: involves the sequence of events that occurs
between the stimulus events and the manifestations of the disease.
⩥ clinical manifestations. Answer: it is what tells an individual and their
HCP that something is wrong. Also called "signs and symptoms'
⩥ primary prevention. Answer: directed towards preventing the initial
occurrence of a disorder
, ⩥ Secondary and tertiary prevention. Answer: (2 terms) these seek to
arrest or retard existing disease and its effect through early detection and
appropriate treatment - or to reduce the occurrence of relapses and the
establishment of chronic conditions
⩥ at the cellular or sub-cellular level. Answer: Where does all disease
begin?
⩥ lethal (irreversible) and non-lethal (reversible). Answer: What are the
two types of cell injury?
⩥ ATP depletion, oxygen and oxygen-derived free radicals, intercellular
calcium and loss of calcium steady state, and defects in membrane
permeability. Answer: What are the four categories of stressors that
cause disease?
⩥ by their mechanisms of action. Answer: How are the four categories
of stressors that cause disease differentiated?
⩥ ATP depletion. Answer: Which of the stressors causes the most
disease?
⩥ impaired energy function involving hypoxia. Answer: What do most
of the ATP depletion cases involve?
