NURS 6111 Exam 1/ 100 Questions with
Verified Solutions.
DiGeorge Syndrome - Answer: caused by missing piece of chromosome 22, affects
the heart, immune system, parathyroid glands, can be inherited from parents,
DGS triad: conotruncal cardiac anomalies, hypoplastic thymus, and hypocalcemia.
can cause cleft lip, hearing loss, learning difficulties
Function of IgA antibody - Answer: inhibit the passage of alien substances that
attempt to enter the circulatory system. mucosal immunity
function of IgE antibody - Answer: protect against parasitic invasions and
supervise allergic reactions
Page 1 of 18
,Function of IgG antibody - Answer: -Long-term immunity
-protection of newborns during the first 6 months of life
Function of IgM antibody - Answer: Activated complement system (classical
pathway)
Agglutinate microorganism
Why can select IgA deficiency lead to a blood transfusion reaction? - Answer: can
lead to the patient developing antibodies that fight against the IgA causing a
transfusion reaction
plasma proteins - Answer: albumin, fibrinogen, globulins. Proteins function to
control oncotic pressure, transport substances (hemoglobin, lipids, calcium), and
promote inflammation and the complement cascade.
action potential stages - Answer: 1) resting potential = Na+ ions outside while K+
ions inside
2) depolarization = Na+ channels open & Na+ comes in; cell becomes more
positive (meets threshold of -55 mV to fire)
3) repolarization = K+ channels open & K+ goes out; cell becomes more negative
4) undershoot = cell goes below resting potential; K+ channels are slow to close
Page 2 of 18
, 5) return to resting potential = both channels close; Na+ & K+ pumps restore
concentration gradient
ABG interpretation - Answer: pH 7.35-7.45
PaCO2 35-45
HCO3 22-26
ROME- Respiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal
Na normal lab value - Answer: 135-145
K normal lab value - Answer: 3.5-5.0
Mg normal lab value - Answer: 1.3-2.1 mEq/L
Prader-Willi Syndrome - Answer: Caused by a lack of genetic material in the 15
pair of chromosomes. Usually inherited from the father. The leading genetic cause
of obesity. The degree of mental retardation varies, but is usually in the mild
range. Students with Prader-Willi syndrome can be rigid and oppositional. They do
not respond well to sudden changes in their routine. It can also result in low
muscle tone, short stature, incomplete sexual development, cognitive disabilities,
problem behaviors, and a chronic feeling of hunger that can lead to excessive
eating and life-threatening obesity.
Calcium normal lab value - Answer: 8.5-10.5 mg/dL
