PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 RASMUSSEN VERIFIED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
passive immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS-Transfer of performed antibodies against a specific
antigen from protected or immunized individual to an unprotected or non-immunized individual
Examples of passive immunity - CORRECT ANSWERS-IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing
placenta, antitoxin, serotherapy (direct injection of antibodies)
antimicrobial resistance - CORRECT ANSWERS-occurs when pathogens undergo changes that
allow them to resist antimicrobials (Ex: MRSA)
mediators of acute inflammation - CORRECT ANSWERS-histamine, serotonin, bradykinin,
prostaglandins, leukotrienes
Osteoporosis - CORRECT ANSWERS-A condition in which the body's bones become weak and
break easily.
muscular dystrophy - CORRECT ANSWERS-group of hereditary diseases characterized by
degeneration of muscle and weakness
Fibromyalgia - CORRECT ANSWERS-chronic condition with widespread aching and pain in the
muscles and fibrous soft tissue
myasthenia gravis - CORRECT ANSWERS-a chronic AUTOIMMUNE disease that affects the
neuromuscular junction and produces serious weakness of voluntary muscles
Osteoarthritis - CORRECT ANSWERS-a degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage
covering the surface of bone becomes thinner and rougher (noninflammatory)
rheumatoid arthritis - CORRECT ANSWERS-a chronic AUTOIMMUNE disorder in which the
joints and some organs of other body systems are attacked
, Psoriatic arthritis - CORRECT ANSWERS-An inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis of
the skin
Herpes - CORRECT ANSWERS-A viral infection causing small painful blisters and inflammation,
most commonly at the junction of skin and mucous membrane in the mouth or nose or in the genitals (1
above waist, 2 below) Goes dormant and can come back as shingles.
Gout - CORRECT ANSWERS-hereditary metabolic disease that is a form of acute arthritis,
characterized by excessive uric acid in the blood and around the joints
atopic dermatitis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Excess inflammation; dry skin, redness, and itching
from allergies and irritants. (eczema)
osteocarcoma - CORRECT ANSWERS-a malignant tumor of the bone and is most common in
the mandible.
Potassium Value normal range( intercellular cation) - CORRECT ANSWERS-3.5-5.0 mEq/L
Sodium value normal range (major cation of extracellular fluid) - CORRECT ANSWERS-135-145
mEq/L
Calcium value normal range - CORRECT ANSWERS-9-11 mg/dL OR 4.5-5.5 mEq/L
Phosphate value normal range - CORRECT ANSWERS-2.5-4.5 mg/dL
Magnesium value normal range - CORRECT ANSWERS-1.5-2.5 mEq/L
