Patho NGR6140 Exam 1/Midterm with
verified answers to pass
Metaplasia - ANS ✔✔Which type of cellular adaptation occurs when normal columnar ciliated
epithelial cells of the bronchial lining have been replaced by stratified squamous epithelial cells?
How do free radicals cause cellular damage? - ANS ✔✔Giving up an electron which causes
injury to the chemical bonds of the cellular membrane
Osmotic forces - ANS ✔✔Water movement between the intracellular fluid (ICF) compartment
and the extracellular fluid (ECF) compartment is primarily a function of which of the following?
A patient has a serum sodium level of 165 mEq/L. The healthcare professional explains that the
clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, and coma are cause why
which mechanism? - ANS ✔✔High sodium in the blood pulls water out of the brain and into the
blood vessels, causing brain cells to shrink
A healthcare professional is caring for 4 patients. Which patient should the professional assess
for hypermagnesemia as a priority? - ANS ✔✔Renal failure
Which of the following is NOT a common cause of contracted extracellular fluid volume induced
hyponatremia? - ANS ✔✔Congestive Heart Failure
CA-MRSA strains normally cause infections in different body systems than traditional HA-MRSA
strains. - ANS ✔✔True
, Which of these statements is TRUE regarding MRSA resistance? - ANS ✔✔traditional
approaches to antibiotic prescribing that involve treating susceptible infections with narrow-
spectrum antimicrobials expose patients to the risk of ineffective therapy.
Which bacteria prepares the newborn gastrointestinal tract for subsequent microbial
successions until microbial maturity is reached? - ANS ✔✔Lactobacillus
In this symptom phase of infection, initial symptoms are mild and generalized and usually
include fatigue/malaise. - ANS ✔✔Prodomal phase
Communicability - ANS ✔✔ability to spread from one individual to others and cause disease
Virulence - ANS ✔✔Capacity of a pathogen to cause severe disease; for example, measles virus
is of low virulence; while rabies virus is highly virulent
Pathogenicity - ANS ✔✔ability to produce disease/infection
Infectivity - ANS ✔✔ability to enter and multiply in the host
Which bacteria have the capability of producing endotoxins? - ANS ✔✔Gram neg bacteria
In addition to osmosis, what force is involved in the movement of water between the plasma
and interstitial fluid spaces? - ANS ✔✔Hydrostatic pressure
At the arterial end of capillaries, why does fluid move from the intravascular space into the
interstitial space? - ANS ✔✔Capillary hydrostatic pressure is higher than the capillary oncotic
pressure.
