MN 551 Final EXAM
EXAM COVERAGE - MN551 Pathophysiology Final Exam
The MN551 Final Exam assesses understanding of disease mechanisms
across body systems. Topics include cellular injury and repair, genetic
and immune disorders, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, hematologic
and cardiovascular conditions, respiratory and renal pathologies, as
well as gastrointestinal, endocrine, metabolic, and neurologic
disorders. The exam emphasizes clinical manifestations, laboratory
interpretation, disease mechanisms, and nursing implications, requiring
integration of knowledge for safe and effective patient care.
,A woman with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes has been ordered by her
primary care provider to have a hemoglobin A1C test for the first time.
The woman states, "I don't see why you want to test my blood cells
when it's sugar that's the problem." What aspect of physiology will
underlie the care provider's response to the patient?
A.)The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells reflects the average
blood glucose levels over the life of the cell.
B)Hemoglobin synthesis by the bone marrow is inversely
proportionate to blood glucose levels, with low A1C indicating
hyperglycemia.
C)The high metabolic needs of red cells and their affinity for free
glucose indicate the amount of glucose that has been available over 6
to 12 weeks.
,D)Insulin is a glucose receptor agonist on the hemoglobin molecule,
and high glucose suggests low insulin levels.
The amount of glucose attached to A1C cells reflects the average
blood glucose levels over the life of the cell.
, A 32-year-old man is complaining of burning, itching, photophobia,
and severe pain in his right eye after swimming in the ocean. To
determine that the eye condition is corneal rather than a conjunctival
disease, which of the following would be the distinguishing symptom?
A.) Burning
B.) Itching
c.) photophobia
D.) Severe pain
Severe pain
