NSG 3280(Patho) Exam 3
Exam Coverage
The exam coverage includes advanced pathophysiology concepts
assessed in NSG 3280 Pathophysiology Exam 3. It focuses on the
mechanisms of disease affecting major body systems, including
cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and renal disorders. The exam
also evaluates understanding of disease progression, clinical
manifestations, diagnostic findings, and the body's physiological
responses to illness and injury. Emphasis is placed on applying
pathophysiological principles to analyze patient conditions, interpret
clinical data, and support evidence-based nursing care. 🧠🩺
,Manifestations of acute brain ischemia (Cushing reflex) are due
primarily to
a. parasympathetic nervous system activation.
b. sympathetic nervous system activation.
c. autoregulation of body systems.
d. loss of brainstem reflexes.
b. sympathetic nervous system activation.
,Which group of clinical findings indicates the poorest neurologic
functioning?
a. Spontaneous eye opening, movement to command, oriented to self
only.
b. Eyes open to light touch on shoulder, pupils briskly reactive to light
bilaterally.
c. Assumes decorticate posture with light touch, no verbal response.
d. No eye opening, responds to painful stimulus by withdrawing.
c. Assumes decorticate posture with light touch, no verbal response.
, The physiologic change most likely to lead to an increase in
intracranial pressure is
a. cerebral vasodilation.
b. hypernatremia.
c. respiratory hyperventilation.
d. REM sleep.
a. cerebral vasodilation
