Nur611 Exam 3, Maryville With 115questions And Proper
Answers 2024/2025
1. acute inflammation of the pericardium: Acute Pericarditis
2. idiopathic or caused by viral infection: what is the etiology of pericarditis
3. drop in Arterial bp by more than 10 mmHg in inspiration: pulsus paradoxus
4. arterial BP during expiration exceeds arterial pressure during inspiration by
more than 10 mmHg: What is pulsus paradoxus
5. dyspnea, tachycardia, jugular venous distention, cardiomegaly, and pulsus
paradoxus: symptoms of cardiac tamponade
6. what test do you do to check the functioning of a valve: Echocardiogram
7. enlarged, superficial veins; a twisted, dilated vein w/ incompetent valves:
varicose veins
8. (1) trauma to the saphenous veins that damages one or more valves, or (2)
gradual venous distention caused by the action of gravity on blood in the legs:
Causes of varicose veins
9. condition in which venous circulation is inadequate due to partial vein
blockage or leakage of venous valves; primarily affects feet and ankles;
discoloration of the skin. Makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the
legs: chronic venous insufficiency/ venous insufficiency
10. Pituitary adenoma usually benign and slow growing. arise from the anterior
pituitary.: Hyperpituitarism
11. endocrine disorder. occurs when the pituitary gland produces an excessive
amount of growth hormone after the completion of puberty: Acromegaly
12. Slowly progressive disease. Connective tissue proliferation. Hypersecretion of
growth hormone: hypothyroidism
13. -automimune thyroiditis (Hashimoto)
-Iatrogenic loss of thyroid tissue after surgical or radioactive treatment:
Hypothyroidism
14. 1. poor concentration, memory, dementia, psychosis, coma
2. seizures
3. headaches (pseudotumor cerebri)
4. CN: papilledema, ptosis, tonic pupil, trigeminal neuralgia, facial palsy, tinnitus,
hearing loss
5. cerebellar ataxia: truncal + gait ataxia > limb ataxia, dysarthria, nystagmus
5. NMJ: myasthenia gravis
, 6. nerves: carpal tunnel, polyneuropathy, delayed DTR: neurological manifestations
of hypothyroidism
15. a common form of hyperthyroidism resulting from overproduction of
thyroxine; caused by a false immune system response (goiter is often formed).
Antibodies to TSH receptor that stimulate T3 and T4 production. Diffuse nontender
goiter. Proptosis and extraocular muscle dysfunction occurs in 50% of cases.: Graves
(or Graves') disease
16. Type II hypersensitivity where there is stimulation of the thyroid by
antibodies directed against the TSH receptor
The gland results in hyperplasia of the gland (goiter). Increased synthesis of TH:
Grave's Disease
17. In the case of decreased production or excessive loss of albumin , the reduced
oncotic pressure leads to excessive movement of fluid and solutes into the tissues and
decreased blood volume.: the effect of low plasma albumin
18. Albumin (approximately 60% of total plasma protein at a concentration of
about 4 g/dl) is the most abundant plasma protein.: What is the most abundant class
of plasma protein
19. Because it cannot undergo mitotic division, the erythrocyte has a limited life
span of approximately 120 days.: erythrocytes
20. Basophils contain cytoplasmic granules that hold an abundant mixture of
biochemical mediators, including histamine, chemotactic factors, proteolytic
enzymes, and an anticoagulant (heparin): Granulocytes that contain granules of
vasoactive amines, such as histamine, are called
21. Platelets (thrombocytes) are not true cells but are disk-shaped cytoplasmic
fragments that are essential for blood coagulation and control of bleeding.: formed
elements of the blood that are not cells but are disk-shaped cytoplasmic fragments
essential for blood clotting
22. Only monocytes migrate into a variety of tissues and fully mature into tissue
macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells: Blood cells that differentiate into
macrophages
23. A platelet circulates for approximately 10 days and ages. Macrophages of the
mononuclear phagocyte system, mostly in the spleen, remove platelets.: the life span
of platelets
24. The spleen is the largest of the secondary lymphoid organs and the site of fetal
hematopoiesis.: Fetal hematopoiesis occurs in which structure?
25. Splenic absence from any cause has several secondary effects on the body,
among them an increase in morphologically defective blood cells in the circulation,
confirming the spleen's role in removing old or damaged cells.: consequence of a
splenectomy
