NR507 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
CHAMBERLAIN PRACTICE TEST PAPER
2026 TESTED QUESTIONS WITH FULL
SOLUTION UPDATED GRADED A+
⩥ Anemia.
Answer: A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in
hemoglobin, or in total volume.
⩥ Erythropoiesis.
Answer: formation of red blood cells
In kidney in response to hypoxia
⩥ macrocytic normochromic anemia.
Answer: Large RBC's, normal hemoglobin
Folic acid or Vitamin B12 deficiency
⩥ microcytic hypochromic anemia.
Answer: small, abnormally shaped erythrocytes that are not able to carry
normal hemoglobin
Thalassemia- mediterranean
,⩥ normocytic normochromic anemia.
Answer: Characterized by red cells that are relatively normal in size and
normal hemoglobin
Aplastic, hemorrhagic, hemolytic, sickle cell
⩥ iron deficiency anemia.
Answer: anemia resulting when there is not enough iron to build
hemoglobin for red blood cells
Affects children, poverty, child bearing age
⩥ Erythrocytes.
Answer: red blood cells
Most abundant cell in the body
Responsible for tissue oxygenation
Mitotic division- 100-120 days
⩥ sickle cell anemia.
Answer: A genetic disorder in which erythroctyes take on an abnormal
curved or "sickle" shape (Hb-s)
⩥ Thalassemia.
Answer: Inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglobin, usually
seen in persons of Mediterranean background.
, ⩥ pernicious anemia.
Answer: Lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb
vitamin B12 into the bloodstream
⩥ hemolytic anemia.
Answer: Characterized by an inadequate number of circulating red blood
cells due to the premature destruction of red blood cells by the spleen
Pancytopenia- reduction in all 3 types of blood cells (RBC, WBC, Plt)
⩥ Erythropoietin (EPO).
Answer: Hormone secreted by the kidney to stimulate the production of
red blood cells by bone marrow
In response to hypoxia
In the fetus the liver produces this
⩥ Hemoglobin.
Answer: Iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen
for delivery to cells
4 molecules of O2
Made of polypeptide, heme, iron
⩥ anemia due to gastrectomy.
