Questions & Correct Verified Answers.
Latest Edition 2025-2026. Graded A
4 types of cellular death – ANS Coagulation: most common type, beings
with ischemia
Liquefactive: Occurs with dissolution of dead cells, liquid sludge, dissolved
dead tissues
Fat necrosis: death of adipose tissue, appears as a chalky white area of
tissue
Caseous necrosis: characteristics of lung damage, resembles clumpy
cheese
Compare and contrast apoptosis and necrosis - ANSApoptosis: occurs in
response to injury that does not directly kill the cell Ex: hair loss
Necrosis: usually occurs as a consequence of ischemia or toxic injury
Convalescence - ANSstage of recovery after a disease, injury, or surgical
procedure
Define risk factors associated with gestational diabetes - ANSSevere
obesity
History of GDM
Previous offspring weight more than 9 pounds at birth
Strong family history of type 2 diabetes
1
, Race/ethnicity (African american, hispanic, asian, native american
Define the stages of an illness - ANSLatent period: time between exposure
of tissue to injurious agent and first appearance of signs or symptoms also
known as incubation period
Prodromal period: time during which first signs or symptoms appear
indicating onset of disease
Acute clinical course: short-lived, may have severe signs and symptoms
Chronic clinical course: may last months to years, may follow an acute
course
Discuss the cause of hypoglycemia in a neonate - ANS
Discuss the effects of high blood glucose on a fetus - ANS
Exacerbation - ANSA sudden increase in severity of disease or signs and
symptoms
Glycogenolysis - ANSA cells produce glucagon-stimulates the liver to
release its storage of glycogen into glucose
How do bacteria and viruses cause cell damage? - ANS
List the diagnostic blood tests with parameters used to confirm diabetes -
ANSRandom sampling of blood glucose above 200mg
Fasting blood glucose level greater than 126mg
