Assessment,WGU D236 Pre-Assessment Exam
Describe how your body responds to an infection. - answer--T
cells produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce
antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. -
answer--Mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? -
answer--Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions
affect wellbeing. - answer--(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can
cause n/v or dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS - answer--Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
> produce angiotensin I > converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II
> vasoconstriction > release aldosterone > kidneys conserve
sodium and water > Result less water lost in urine and blood
pressure maintained.
DKA - answer--increased anion gap, decreased HCO3
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis - answer--retain H and
excrete HCO3

Prenatal exposure to alcohol includes - answer--ND-PAE,
decreased brain function, FAS
Connective vs muscle tissue disorders - answer--Connective- RA,
Scleroderma, Lupus
Muscle - MS, Muscular dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravia
Describe Lupus - answer--Inflammatory disorder characterized by
joint pain and butterfly rash
Describe Myasthenia Gravis - answer--It is an autoimmune
disorder where antibodies attack own Ach receptors. This causes
weakness of skeletal muscles over the course of the day, along
with ptosis, double vision, and difficulty swallowing.
dermatitis - answer--inflammation of the skin
eczema - answer--noninfectious, inflammatory skin disease
characterized by redness, blisters, scabs, and itching
