REGIS COLLEGE NU606 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Any objective evidence of disease as
Sign
subjective evidence of a disease, such as pain or a headache
Symptom
Abrupt onset; illness of short duration, rapidly progressive and in need of urgent
care
Acute
a group of symptoms
Syndrom
signs and symptoms of disease; local or systemic
Manifestation
cause of disease
Etiology
Increased in size of individual cells resulting in enlarged tissue mass
hypertrophy
Mature cell type is replaced by a different mature cell type
Metaplasia
loss of differentiation of cells; reversion to a more primitive cell type
Anaplasia
decrease in cell size
,Atrophy
Normal cellular genes that when altered by mutation becomes an oncogene that
can contribute to cancer
Protooncogenes
A disease in which some body cells grow and divide uncontrollably, damaging
the parts of the body around them.
Cancer
benign fatty tumor
Lipoma
a benign tumor that arises in or resembles glandular tissue
Adenoma
a sarcoma in which the predominant cell type is a malignant fibroblast.
Fibrosarcoma
malignant tumor of connective tissue
Sarcoma
Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities.
Epithelial tissue
a type of cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen
Fibroblast
Type of cancer that starts in mucus-producing glandular cells of the body
Adenocarcinoma
Unfavorable result of a disease
Complication
,Increases irritability of nerves causing: restlessness, muscle twitching, tingling,
finger numbness, eventually tetany, seizures, and coma
How does alkalosis impact nerves?
Respiratory alkalosis. Exhaling more CO2 than they are bringing in
What type of imbalance can hyperventilation lead to and how?
Regulates calcium and phosphorous concentration in the extracellular fluid; if
calcium concentrations in EC fluid fall below normal, brings it back WNL. Calcium
increases, phosphate in blood is reduced
What is parathyroid hormone?
Too much can cause bone issues
What happens when parathyroid hormone increases?
Assciated with maternal migraines and seizures, premature membrane rupture,
and placental separation from the uterus. Hypertensive crisis.
How does cocaine impact pregnancy?
Suppress the immune system
Glucocorticoids
Black, dry
What does dry gangrene look like?
Cardiac contractions become weak since cardiac muscles rely on free calcium.
Ca ions bind to troponin which exposes binding sites
How does low calcium impact cardiac contractions?
Manifested in heterozygous males who lack matching normal gene on the Y
chromosome. Females are carriers when they are heterozygous.
, Transmission patterns for X linked recessive disorders
Superficial Pathway
Where are the acupuncture points located?
Increased milk and antacid intake can lead to hypercalcemia
What is milk-alkali syndrome?
Acidosis due to loss of bicarbonate in the stool
Consequences of prolonged diarrhea?
1. renal failure
2. deficit of aldosterone
3. K+ sparing diuretics
4. leakage of intracellular K+ into the ECF (w/ extensive tissue damage)
5. displacement of K+ from cells by prolonged or severe acidosis (diabetic
ketoacidosis)
What can cause hyperkalemia?
Diarrhea, diuresis, treatment of DKA without insulin
What can cause hypokalemia?
inner cells frequently deprived of blood and nutrients causing cell death.
Necrosis can lead to more inflammation and infection at the site
what are local effects of an expanding tumor mass?
Change in bowel or bladder habits
A sore that does not heal
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere
