NR 283 Pathophysiology Exam 1 Newest 2026
Questions and Correct Detailed Answers Already
Graded A+
Etiology - CORRECT ANSWER-Cause of particular disease on microscopic
level
Pathogenesis - CORRECT ANSWER-Story of how disease develops
Atrophy - CORRECT ANSWER-Decrease in the size of the cells, results in
reduced tissue mass
Hypertrophy - CORRECT ANSWER-Increase in cell size, results in enlarged
tissue mass
Hyperplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-Increased number of cells, results in
enlarged tissue mass
Metaplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-Mature cell type is replaced by a different
mature cell type, Ex: chronic smokers, cells lose cilia
Osmotic Pressure - CORRECT ANSWER-Pull, typically on the veinous level,
wherever the waste needs to be eliminated from the body
, Isotonic Solutions - CORRECT ANSWER-Completely balanced solutions,
blood, NS
Hypotonic Solutions - CORRECT ANSWER-Less solute so its less
concentrated, only a few pepper flakes, 0.45% NaCl (1/2 NS)
Give this to dehydrated pt
Dysplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-Cells are different looking varying in size
and shape
Neoplasia - CORRECT ANSWER-New growth, commonly a tumor. May be
malignant or benign
Apoptosis - CORRECT ANSWER-Programmed cell death, normal
occurrence in the body
Ischemia - CORRECT ANSWER-Deficit of oxygen in the cells
Hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWER-Reduced oxygen in the tissues
Iatrogenic - CORRECT ANSWER-illness or disease process because a
medical process was done ex: CAUTI
Autosomal Recessive Disorders - CORRECT ANSWER-Has to have two
recessive genes to have disease, only one recessive gene to be carrier ex:
Cystic fibrosis, PKU (phenylketonuria), Tay-Sachs
