Questions With Complete Solutions
passive immunity - Answer--Transfer of performed antibodies against a specific
antigen from protected or immunized individual to an unprotected or non-immunized
individual
Examples of passive immunity - Answer--IgA in breast milk, maternal IgG crossing
placenta, antitoxin, serotherapy (direct injection of antibodies)
Potassium Value normal range( intercellular cation) - Answer--3.5-5.0 mEq/L

mEq/L
Calcium value normal range - Answer--9-11 mg/dL OR 4.5-5.5 mEq/L
Phosphate value normal range - Answer--2.5-4.5 mg/dL
Magnesium value normal range - Answer--1.5-2.5 mEq/L
Bicarbonate value normal range (second most abundant anion in blood) -
Answer--23-30 mEq/L
Condition of low potassium < 3.5 mEq/L - Answer--hypokalemia
Condition of high potassium >5 mEq/L - Answer--Hyperkalemia
Condition of sodium < 135 mEq/L - Answer--hyponatremia / hypernatremia
Condition of high sodium>145 mEq/L - Answer--hypernatremia
condition of low phosphate < 2.5 mg/dL - Answer--hypophophatemia
Condition of high phosphate > 4.5 mg/dL - Answer--Hyperphosphatemia
Condition of low chloride <96 mEq/L - Answer--hypochloremia

condition of low calcium< 9mg/dL - Answer--hypocalcemia
condition of high calcium > 11mg/dL - Answer--hypercalcemia
Pathophysiology - Answer--the study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning of
living beings
Pathology - Answer--the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of
organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids
Etiology - Answer--The study of the causes and origins of disease
4 topics of pathophysiology - Answer--etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations,
treatment
pathogenesis - Answer--development or evolution of a disease
clinical manifestation - Answer--signs and symptoms or evidence of disease
exacerbation - Answer--a relatively sudden increase in the severity of a disease or
any of its signs and symptom
remission - Answer--decline in severity of symptoms
sequela - Answer--a disorder or condition usually resulting from a previous disease
or injury
acute - Answer--sudden onset and short duration
chronic - Answer--long term
Primary level of prevention - Answer--altering susceptibility; reducing exposure for
susceptible persons
Example of primary prevention - Answer--Immunization, health/sex ed, quit smoking
drinking or poor diet.
Secondary level of prevention - Answer---conduction activities that help prevent a
worsening health status by detection or management of diseases
