WGU D027 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS/TERMS
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
WGU D027
STUDYGLOBAL 5/14/25 WGU D027
, Prevalence Risk - Accurate answers proportion of the population affected at a certain time
Incidence rate - Accurate answers number of new cases divided by population
Innate immunity - Accurate answers inflammation; increased vascular permeability
B&T lymphocytes - Accurate answers immune response
primary malignant tumor - Accurate answers lack of organization of cells
glucocorticoids - Accurate answers used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid tissue
(leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - Accurate answers for hormone receptor positive
and advanced breast cancer. (Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk)
Heart failure - Accurate answers impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood; heart
cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
CHF - Accurate answers heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
Left Ventricular Dysfunction - Accurate answers reduced ejection fraction; ventricle having issue
ejecting blood.
normal ejection fraction - Accurate answers 55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each heartbeat)
Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved? - Accurate answers preserved
Diastolic CHF - Accurate answers preserved ejection fraction, problem is with filling
Systolic CHF - Accurate answers reduced ejection fraction, problem is with ejecting
Left sided CHF - Accurate answers pulmonary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3 murmurs) **
#1 cause of Right sided CHF
BNP - Accurate answers gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF
Echocardiogram - Accurate answers Diagnostic tool, evaluates heart structure and function
At Risk for HF - Stage A - Accurate answers no structural heart disease or symptoms of heart failure
Stage A HF co-morbidities - Accurate answers htn, atherosclerotic disease, diabetes, metabolic
syndrome, patients using cardiotoxins with family history
