NUR 2063 / NUR2063: Essentials of
Pathophysiology Exam 2 (Latest 2023
/ 2024) Rasmussen.
What are the functions of the kidneys? - -Regulation of blood pressure; regulating blood
osmolarity; removal of toxins; blood filtration; activate vitamin D
-What are the clinical manifestations of benign prostatic hypertrophy? - -dribbling;
difficulty initiating urine stream; hesitancy; urinary retention, decreased stream
-What substance controls the reabsorption of water from the collecting ducts? - -ADH-
Anti Diuretic Hormone
-What is type 2 diabetes characterized as? - -peripheral tissue insulin resistance
-What are the clinical manifestations of Graves' disease? - -Exophthalmos (bulging
eyes), goiter, enlarge thyroid, heat intolerance, anxiety- hyperthyroidism
-What processes occur during fasting? - -glucogenesis; glycogenesis
-What type of tissue is accessed to promote energy production in type 1 diabetes? - -
adipose/ fat
-What are the clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism? - -myxedema, fatigue, cold
sensitivity, constipation, weight gain
-What are the clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism? - -Goiter, fatigue, weight
loss, infertility, memory loss, hair loss, muscle pain
, -What are the clinical manifestation of hyper para thyroidism? - -fatigue, body aches,
bone pain, depression, headaches, memory loss
-What are the clinical manifestations of hypo para thyroidism? - -numbness, tetany,
parathesis, muscle spasms
-What are the clinical manifestations of ketoacidosis? - -fruity breath, drowsiness,
nausea, thirst, confusion, lethargy, vomiting
-What mechanisms control hormone release and regulation? - -negative feedback loop
-What hormones are released by the anterior pituitary gland? - -Growth Hormone,
prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, LH, ACTH and
endorphins
-What is diabetes insipidus? - -a disorder caused by inadequate amounts of ADH which
causes excessive water loss
-clinical manifestations of diabetes insipidus - -polyuria, nocturia, continuous thirst,
and polydipsia
-clinical manifestations of Cushings syndrome? - -Excessive secretion of cortisol causes
redistribution of fat, "moon face", "buffalo" hump on the back and pendulous abdomen.
-
Facial skin is flushed (high blood pressure), skin covering abdomen develops stretch
marks - •
ndividual bruises easily and wound healing is poor -
Approximately 1/2 develop mental status changes from irritability to severe psychiatric
disturbance -
