2. Key concepts covered in Weeks 5-8 of NR 507 -
ANSWER Gastrointestinal pathologies, Neurobiological pathologies,
Endocrine pathologies, CNS sensory and motor pathologies, Brain
pathologies, Dermatologic pathologies.
3. Key concepts covered in Weeks 1-4 of NR 507 - ANSWER COPD,
Asthma, Hypersensitivity reactions, Restrictive vs. Obstructive disorders,
Heart failure, Lab markers for Anemia, Anemias, Iron deficiency anemia,
Systemic lupus erythematosus, Heart valve disorders.
4. Subjective symptoms of GERD - ANSWER Heartburn, regurgitation,
dysphagia, and chest pain.
,5. Objective findings in a physical examination of uncomplicated GERD -
ANSWER The physical examination is usually normal, although there
may be signs of esophagitis or other complications in severe cases.
6. Pathophysiology of GERD - ANSWER GERD is caused by lower
esophageal sphincter dysfunction, hiatal hernia, and esophageal motility
disorders leading to gastric acid flowing back into the esophagus.
7. Which immune cells are most impacted by HIV? - ANSWER CD4+
helper T cells.
8. What are the stages of HIV infection? - ANSWER Acute HIV infection,
Clinical latency, and AIDS.
9. How is HIV classified in terms of immunodeficiency? - ANSWER As a
secondary immunodeficiency disorder.
10.What type of virus is HIV? - ANSWER An RNA retrovirus.
11.What is the role of reverse transcriptase in HIV? - ANSWER It allows the
virus to copy RNA into DNA and replicate inside the host's cells.
,12.What is the consequence of HIV attacking CD4+ helper T cells? -
ANSWER It decreases CD4+ levels, leading to a deficient immune
response.
13.List some clinical manifestations of HIV. - ANSWER Moderate dyspnea,
cough, fatigue, decreased appetite, weight loss, cervical and axillary
lymphadenopathy, bibasilar crackles, tachypnea, fever, and presence of
opportunistic infections.
14.What is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)? - ANSWER A complex
autoimmune condition that can impact various organ systems within the
body.
15.What triggers the immune response in SLE? - ANSWER An infectious or
environmental trigger in genetically predisposed individuals causes cell
damage, exposing the immune system to self-antigens.
16.What is the role of autoantibodies in SLE? - ANSWER They target 'self'
cells, forming immune complexes with self-antigens, leading to tissue
damage.
17.What are antinuclear antibodies (ANA)? - ANSWER A type of
autoantibody produced in SLE, with lab tests able to demonstrate their
presence in the blood as a diagnostic indicator.
18.What is the order of pathophysiological events in SLE? -
ANSWER Genetic predisposition, Environmental exposure trigger,
, Autoantibody production, Immune complex formation and deposition in
tissues, Tissue damage and clinical manifestations.
19.What should be monitored in a client with SLE and lupus nephritis? -
ANSWER Renal function and confirming serum antibodies to assess
current disease activity.
20.Why is diagnosing SLE challenging? - ANSWER Due to the potential for
symptoms to overlap with a variety of other medical conditions.
21.What is crucial for the early identification of SLE? -
ANSWER Recognizing patterns of persistent or unexplained symptoms
that span multiple organ systems.
22.What initial evaluation is important for diagnosing SLE? -
ANSWER Gathering a thorough medical history, including the duration,
frequency, and patterns of symptoms.
23.Why is family history important in SLE diagnosis? - ANSWER Many
individuals with SLE have family members with an autoimmune disorder.
24.What is the significance of family history in SLE? - ANSWER Many
individuals with SLE have family members with an autoimmune disorder.
25.What is the gold standard lab test for screening SLE? -
ANSWER Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test.
