PATHO 370 EXAM BEST QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
100% CORRECT
Question 1
• 0.125 out of 0.125 points
Your patient eats “lots of fat,” leads a “stressful” life, and has smoked “about two packs a day
for the last 40 years.” Her chronic morning cough recently worsened, and she was diagnosed
with a lung mass. The most likely contributing factor for development of lung cancer in this
patient is
Selected b. cigarette
Answer: smoking.
Correct b. cigarette
Answer: smoking.
Respo The most likely contributing factor for the
nse development of lung cancer is cigarette
Feedb smoking. Tobacco smoke contains hundreds
ack: of compounds, many of which have known
genotoxicity and probably serve as
initiators. Tobacco smoke also contains
promoters, which spur the mutant cells to
proliferate.
Although a high-fat diet, urban pollutants,
and a stressful lifestyle have been
implicated in some types of cancer, they are
not the likely contributing factor in your
patient’s
lung cancer.
1. Question 2
• 0.125 out of 0.125 points
Many of the responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system
and are mediated by
Selected b.
Answer: norepinephrine.
Correct b.
Answer: norepinephrine.
Respo Norepinephrine is secreted in response to

nse activation of the sympathetic nervous
Feedb system during stress by the adrenal
ack: medulla. Cortisol is secreted by the
adrenal cortex. Glucagon is secreted by
the pancreas. ACTH is secreted by the
pituitary gland.
1. Question 3
• 0.125 out of 0.125 points
The nurse is swabbing a patient’s throat to test for streptococcal pharyngitis. The nurse must
understand that tests such as this differ in the probability that they will be positive for a
condition when applied to a person with the condition; this probability is termed sensitivity.

Resp The sensitivity of any test refers
onse ot the probability that the test
Feed will be positive when applied to
back a person with the condition and
: will not provide a false negative
result. In contrast, specificity is
he
t probability that a test will be
negative when applied to a
person who does not have a
given condition.
1. Question 4
• 0.125 out of 0.125 points
All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except
Selecte b.
d necrosis.

Answer
:
Correct b.
Answer necrosis.
:
Resp Necrosis refers to death of
onse cells/tissue and is not reversible.
Feed Metaplasia refers to the
back: replacement
of one differentiated cell type with
another from persistent injury and
is reversible when the injury stops.
Atrophy occurs because of lack
of use of an organ and is
reversible. Hyperplasia is an
increase in the number of cells
from increased physiologic
demands or hormonal stimulation
and is reversible.
1. Question 5
• 0.125 out of 0.125 points
Coagulative
Selected necrosis is caused by
a. interrupted
Answer: blood supply.
Correct a. interrupted
Answer: blood supply.
Respon Coagulative necrosis results from interrupted
se blood supply leading to ischemic cell injury.
Feedba Liquefactive necrosis results from dissolving of
ck: dead cells and cyst formation. Fat necrosis is
caused by trauma or pancreatitis. Caseous
necrosis is caused by lung tissue damage such
as that caused by tuberculosis.
