NURS 215 EXAM 1: INTRO TO PATHO QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
allostasis correct answer physiologic changes in the neuroendocrine, autonomic,
and immune systems that occur in response to either real or perceived challenges
to homeostasis
Angiotensin II correct answer renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)
peripheral increase in vascular tone and renal retention of sodium and water
enhances CRF, ACTH, vasopressin and NE release
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) correct answer AKA vasopressin
increases water retention by the kidneys and produces vasoconstriction of BV
Cannon correct answer physiologist at Harvard
fight or flight and relate that to EPI and NE
emotional and physical homeostasis
case-control studies correct answer compare persons known to have a disease or
condition
clinical course timeline correct answer preclinical, subclinical, clinical, carrier
status
clinical manifestations correct answer objective and subjective data
, cohort study correct answer groups of persons born at same time or share
characteristics of interest
convalescence correct answer time frame when disease is clearing up and
recovering
corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) correct answer induces secretion of ACTH to
stimulate the adrenal gland to synthesize and secrete the glucocorticoid
hormones (cortisol)
cross sectional studies correct answer simultaneous collection of information
disease correct answer acute or chronic illness that one acquires or is born with
that causes physiological dysfunction in one or more body system
etiology correct answer the cause of disease
Health correct answer a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing
and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity
Hormones that have a role in stress correct answer serotonin, VIP, neuropeptide
Y, CCK, and substance P
hyperfunction correct answer increased secretion or mechanical function
iatrogenic correct answer unwanted or unintended treatment
