NUR 2063 ESSENTIALS OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
EXAM 2 REVIEW EXAMQUESTIONS WITH VERIFID
SOLUTIONS
Renal Calculus Cause --CORRECT ANSWER--Urine becomes
supersaturated with specific solute that forms crystals. Crystallization
is enhanced when a person is dehydrated or has higher than normal
levels of solute in the urine from excessive secretion (calcium, uric
acid).
Renal Calculus S/S --CORRECT ANSWER--Dull, localized flank
pain Acute discomfort accompanied by nausea and vomiting,
diaphoresis (sweating), tachycardia, and tachypnea (abnormal, rapid
breathing) Renal colic (intermittent, sharp pain) develops as the stone
moves to the ureteropelvic junction
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy S/S --CORRECT ANSWER--Urinary
retention
Obstruction to flow
Decreased stream
Hesitancy; difficulty initiating a stream
Interruption of the stream

,Infection caused by retention
.Aldosterone --CORRECT ANSWER--"salt-retaining hormone".
Steroid that promotes the retention of Na+ by the kidneys. Na+
retention promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood
volume and pressur
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) --CORRECT ANSWER--Promotes
retention of water by kidneys and increases blood pressure.
Cryptorchidism Complications --CORRECT ANSWER--Fibrotic
tubules with deficiency in spermatogenesis, infertility.
Amenorrhea --CORRECT ANSWER--Absence of menstruation
Amenorrhea Causes --CORRECT ANSWER--Hormonal disturbances
Stress
Neoplasms (ovarian, adrenal, pituitary tumors)
Page 2 of 25
, Complications of Dialysis --CORRECT ANSWER--Cardiovascular
disease
Hypervolemia
Depression
Prostatitis --CORRECT ANSWER--Inflammation of the prostate.
Most common association is E. coli.
Prostatitis S/S --CORRECT ANSWER--Fever
Chills
Tender prostate
Low back pain
Dysuria
Leukocytosis
Chronic Renal Failure Risk Factors --CORRECT ANSWER--
Diabetes
Hypertension
