Exam (2025–2026) – Verified Questions with Detailed and
Accurate Solutions
This document contains verified and accurate solutions to the HESI RN Advanced
Pathophysiology Exam for the MSN570 course, academic years 2025–2026. It includes
detailed and elaborated explanations for each question, covering complex disease
mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and advanced diagnostic reasoning. This resource is
ideal for thorough exam preparation and HESI success.
1. cryptorchidism risk factors:
- Low birth weight
- Premature birth
- Family history
- Fetal growth restriction (Down Syndrome or abdominal wall defect)
- Alcohol use during pregnancy
- Cigarette smoking
- Parents' exposure to some pesticides
2. trichomonas symptoms:
Vaginal pain and itching
,Profuse foamy, strong smelling vaginal discharge
Labial swelling and itching
Burning during urination
3. trichomonas pathogen: anaerobic parasitic protozoan that adheres to
squamous epithelial cells
4. trichomonas treatment: Metronidazole (Flagyl) 2 grams orally (single dose)
men
5. polycystic ovary syndrome: condition typically characterized by hormonal
imbalances, ovulatory dysfunction, and multiple ovarian cysts
6. PCOS symptoms: Menstrual irregularity
infertility
Hirsutism
obesity and metabolic syndrome
acne
7. PCOS treatment: Metformin, progesterone
8. PCOS hormones: increased LH
increased prolactin
decreased estrogen
increased androgens
increased insulin
9. orchiopexy: surgical fixation of a testicle
10. luteinizing hormone: A protein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary

11. hypogonadism: decrease or lack of hormones normally produced by the

Abnormal breast growth
Reduced growth of penis and testicles
Erectile dysfunction
Osteoporosis
Low or absent sex drive
Infertility
Fatigue
Hot flashes
Difficulty concentrating
Decreased libido
13. hypogonadism test: gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) human
chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) restores testosterone
absence of LH hormone after administration implies hypothalamic pituitary
gonadal
(HPG) axis is malfunctioning instead of the testicles
14. secondary hypogonadism: pituitary dysfunction, LH not released
15. primary hypogonadism: testicular failure
16. DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation
