Hyperkalemia
Low sodium levels that may be caused by excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea is a condition
referred to as:
Hyponatremia
Pain that lasts several months, often doesn't respond to pain therapy, and often has an unknown
cause is referred to as:
Chronic pain
Unmyelinated fibers that are involved in the transmission of chronic pain and thus transmit pain
impulses slowly are:
C fibers
Pain that originates in the skin, bone, or muscles and is conducted by sensory fibers is called:
Somatic pain
Nociceptors are:
Free sensory nerve endings
The level of stimulation required to perceive pain is called the pain:
Threshold
A type of general anesthesia where the patient can respond to commands but is unaware of the
procedure and does not experience any discomfort is called:
neuroleptanesia
Myelinated nerve fibers that rapidly transmit acute pain information from the sensory fibers to the
central nervous system are:
A Delta fibers

Reticular activating system
Pain that originates in the organs and is conducted by sympathetic fibers is called:
Visceral pain
First-aid directives for injury-related inflammation often recommends this four-step approach:
Rest, ice, compression, elevation

or a deformity of the joint, this is referred to as:
A contracture

inflamed is called:
A granuloma

is called:
Chemotaxis

paralysis following recovery from a stroke, are referred to as:
Sequelae
The maintaining of a relatively stable internal environment by the body is called:
Homeostasis

be lost, is called a(n):
Infarction
The study of the physiologic (functional) changes as a result of a disease process is:
Pathophysiology
The number of new cases of a disease in a given population noted within a stated time period
indicates the __________________ of a disease.
incidence

basis for grading a tumor is:
Anaplasia
A factor that can trigger an acute episode of a condition or disease is referred to as a(n):
Precipitating factor
Neoplasm means "new growth" and is commonly called a:
Tumor
_______________________ indicate(s) a high risk for the development of a certain disease or
condition but not the certain development of the disease.
Predisposing factors
Prevention of a disease is linked to both the _______________________________ for a specific
disease.
etiology and predisposing factors
Renal failure or the excessive loss of bicarbonate through severe diarrhea can result in the body pH
imbalance referred to as:

Hypercalcemia
NURSINGTB.COM
, Drugs that cause increased excretion of water through the kidneys and urine production are classified
as:
Diuretics
Hypoparathyroidism and malabsorption with effects such as tetany are characteristic of the
electrolyte imbalance referred to as:
Hypocalcemia
This group of drugs consists of natural or synthetic steroids (such as hydrocortisone) that are
extensively used in the treatment of various inflammatory disorders but that also have significant
undesirable side effects such as promoting osteoporosis.
Glucocorticoids
An open, painful, usually craterlike sore that often results from a severe or prolonged inflammation
is called:
An ulcer
Increased numbers of _______________ usually indicate an allergic reaction or a parasitic infection.
eosinophils
