Week 1
Malignant neoplasms of epithelial origin are known as- carcinomas
Necrotic death of brain tissue usually produces necrosis- liquefactive
After surgery to remove a lung tumor, your patient is scheduled for chemotherapy, which will-
kill rapidly dividing cells
Metaplasia is- the replacement of one differentiated cell type with another
*All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except- necrosis
Allostasis is best defined as- the overall process of adaptive change necessary to maintain
survival and well being
After bronchoscopy and histologic examination of a suspect tumor, your patient is diagnosed
with primary bronchial carcinoma. Thus, the tumor- is malignant
*A patient has been exposed to meningococcal meningitis, but is not yet demonstrating signs of
this disease. This stage of illness is called the stage- latent
*The stage during which the patient functions normally, although the disease processes are well
established, is referring to as- subclinical
*Side effects of chemotherapy- anemia, nausea, bleeding, and infections
*A disease that is native to a particular region is called- endemic
Many of the responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system
and are meditated by- norepinephrine
*Your patient eats “lots of fat” leads a “stressful” life, and has smoked “about two packs a day
for the last 40 years”…… the most likely contributing factory for the development of lung
cancer in the patient is- cigarette smoking
*An increase in organ size and function due to increased workload is termed- hypertrophy
*Deficits in immune system function occur in cancer due to- chemotherapy, cancer cells, cancer
metastasis to bone marrow, and malnutrition
Coagulative necrosis is caused by- interrupted blood supply
The cellular response indicative to injury due to faulty metabolism is- intracellular accumulations
A patient with high blood pressure who is otherwise healthy is counseled to restrict sodium
intake. This is an example of- secondary prevention (thought it was tertiary)
A 17-year-old college-bound student receives a vaccine against on organism that causes
meningitis. This is an example of- primary prevention
, *Apoptosis is a process that results in cellular- death
Week 2
What laboratory finding is usually found in aplastic anemia- pancytopenia
*Excessive red cell lysis can be detected by measuring the serum- bilirubin
*The Philadelphia chromosome is a balanced chromosome translocation that forms a new gene
called- bcr-abl
Transfusion reactions involve RBC destruction caused by- recipient antibodies
A commonly ingested substance associated with prolongation of the bleeding time is- aspirin
*A newborn has melena, bleeding from the umbilicus, and hematuria. The new born is most
likely experiencing- vitamin K deficiency bleeding
*Autologous stem cell transplantation is a procedure in which- stem cells are harvested from the
patient and then returned to the same patient
*A patient is diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia. The patient’s lab results would most likely
indicated a decrease in- granulocytes, platelets, and red blood cells
*Dramatic hypotension sometimes accompanies type I hypersensitivity reactions, because-
massive histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation
A cause of thrombocytopenia includes- chemotherapy
Risk factors for atherosclerosis include- hyperlipidemia
Peripheral edema is a result of- venous thrombosis
*A patient is diagnosed with CML (chronic myeloid leukemia). The patient may experience
which of the these symptoms- fatigue, weight loss, abdominal discomfort, and sweats
*Which type of leukemia primarily affects children- ALL (acute lymphoid leukemia)
A diagnostic laboratory finding in myeloma is- Bence Jones proteins in the urine
Which group of clinical findings describes the typical presentation of ALL- pain in long bones,
infection, fever, bruising
*A patient is diagnosed with myeloma. The nurse teaches the patient about the multiple tumor
sites that can develop with this cancer. The possible tumor sites in myeloma include the-
liver, spleen, and kidneys
The principle Ig mediator of type I hypersensitivity reactions is- IgE
*Which form of leukemia demonstrates the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome- CML
(chronic myeloid leukemia)
Dysfunction of which organ would lead to clotting factor deficiency- Liver
