PATHO 370 MIDTERM EXAM COMPLETE 2023. PATHO 370 Pathophysiology. When a parent asks how they will know if their 2-month-old baby, who is throwing up and has frequent diarrhea, is dehydrated, the nurse’s best response is “If the soft spot on the top of his head feels sunken in and his mouth is dry between his cheek and his gums, then he is probably dehydrated.” Which condition is associated with an elevated reticulocyte count? Hemolytic anemia Hypernatremia may be caused by decreased antidiuretic hormone secretion A deficiency of von Willebrand factor impairs platelet adhesion to injured tissue Which disorder is caused by inhalation of organic substances? Hypersensitivity pneumonitis Patients presenting with symptoms of unstable angina and no ST segment elevation are treated with antiplatelet drugs The increased anterior-posterior chest diameter associated with obstructive lung disease is caused by increased residual lung volumes Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor A cause of thrombocytopenia includes chemotherapy Myocarditis should be suspected in a patient who presents with acute onset of left ventricular dysfunction Hypertrophy of the right ventricle is a compensatory response to pulmonary stenosis Clinical manifestations of hyponatremia include confusion, lethargy, coma, and perhaps seizures Clinical manifestations of extracellular fluid volume deficit include weak pulse, low blood pressure, and increased heart rate Which is indicative of a left tension pneumothorax? Absent breath sounds on the left This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :46:45 GMT -06:00 First-degree heart block is characterized by prolonged PR interval Improvement in a patient with septic shock is indicated by an increase in systemic vascular resistance Clinical manifestations of chronic arterial obstruction include intermittent claudication A patient has a history of falls, syncope, dizziness, and blurred vision. The patient’s symptomology is most likely related to hypotension A person who overuses magnesium-aluminum antacids for a long period of time is likely to develop hypophosphatemia The body compensates for metabolic alkalosis by hypoventilation The hypersecretion of mucus resulting for chronic bronchitis is the result of recurrent infection Risk factors for atherosclerosis include hyperlipidemia Respiratory acidosis is associated with increased carbonic acid The inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid is called _____ pressure. capillary osmotic When a patient is struck in the eye by a baseball, the result is redness and swelling. This increase in blood flow to a localized area is called hyperemia Which disorder is associated with a type III hypersensitivity mechanism of injury? Systemic lupus erythematosus Respiratory alkalosis is caused by hyperventilation
