NUR 2063 EXAM 1 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: 150 PRACTICE
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS NEWEST ACTUAL EXAM STUDY
THIS ONE
What is allostasis? - CORRECT ANSWERS-ability to achieve stability through change
What is allostatic load? - CORRECT ANSWERS-the long-term negative impact of the stress
response on the body
What is allostatic overload? - CORRECT ANSWERS--Overactivation of adaptive systems
-Highly individualized
function of mitochondria - CORRECT ANSWERS-Cellular respiration, makes ATP.
What is a isotonic solution? - CORRECT ANSWERS-The concentration of solutes is equal inside
and outside the cell so water moves across the membrane in both directions maintaining cell size
What is a hypertonic solution? - CORRECT ANSWERS-The solution has a higher solute
concentration than the cell so water moves out of the cell and into the solution causing the cell to
plasmolyze (shrivel)
What is a hypotonic solution? - CORRECT ANSWERS-the solution has a lower solute
concentration than the cell so water moves into the cell causing plant cells to swell and animal cells to
swell and burst
What is sensible water loss? - CORRECT ANSWERS-water loss through typical routes like
urination or defication
What is insensible water loss? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Loss of water from the body that is not
noticeable such as from the skin or lungs
, Pathophysiology - CORRECT ANSWERS-the study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning
of living beings
Pathology - CORRECT ANSWERS-the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of
organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids
Etiology - CORRECT ANSWERS-The study of the causes and origins of disease
4 topics of pathophysiology - CORRECT ANSWERS-etiology, pathogenesis, clinical
manifestations, treatment
pathogenesis - CORRECT ANSWERS-development or evolution of a disease
clinical manifestation - CORRECT ANSWERS-signs and symptoms or evidence of disease
exacerbation - CORRECT ANSWERS-a relatively sudden increase in the severity of a disease or
any of its signs and symptom
remission - CORRECT ANSWERS-decline in severity of symptoms
sequela - CORRECT ANSWERS-a disorder or condition usually resulting from a previous
disease or injury
acute - CORRECT ANSWERS-sudden onset and short duration
chronic - CORRECT ANSWERS-long term
Primary level of prevention - CORRECT ANSWERS-altering susceptibility; reducing exposure
for susceptible persons
