Portage Learning Pathophysiology NURS 231/BIOD 331 Module 1 Exam All Versions Latest, Exams of Nursing

Geneva CollegeNursing

Portage learning Pathophysiology exam 1 is a comprehensive document that covers all likely exam questions that could appear on exam 1. Portage Learning’s Pathophysiology Exam 1 is typically the first assessment in the course and covers foundational concepts of pathophysiology. While the specific content of the exam can vary, it generally assesses students' understanding of the basic mechanisms of disease, cellular processes, and how the body responds to injury and stress. The topics are usually derived from the early chapters of the Pathophysiology course materials. The exam may consist of multiple-choice questions, true/false, and short answer questions that test your understanding of these fundamental concepts.

Which of the following are true of the cell? Select all that apply.

  • Proteins carry out the functions of the cell membrane Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell Microfilaments are thin, threadlike cytoplasmic structures Which is not true of the cytoskeleton? A) It controls the shape and movement B) cilia and flagella are microtubule filled extensions C) It includes peroxisomes and proteasome C) The cytoskeleton does not contain peroxisomes and proteasomes Which of the following move across the cell membrane via diffusion?
  • Oxygen Water Carbon Dioxide Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply.
  • Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply.
  • They are found far from the site of energy consumption They control free radicals High blood pressure is an example of which of the following?
  • Pathophysiology (Pathophysiology is the study of disease, high blood pressure is an example of a disease) A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What are these examples of?
  • signs (high blood pressure) AND symptoms (pt complaint of chest pain)
  • A) Signs Which of the following is true of a tests sensitivity? A) It is how likely the same result will occur if repeated B) If negative it can safely be assumed that the person does not have a disease C) It is considered a true-negative result D) It can only be calculated from people without the disease
    • B) If negative it can safely be assumed that the person does not have a disease Match definitions for: sensitivity, reliability, validity, specificity
  • Sensitivity: proportion of people WITH a disease that test positive for the disease Reliability: likelihood of getting same result with repeat testing Validity: HOW a tool measures what it is intended to measure Specificity: people WITHOUT a disease who test negative for the disease Clinical questions: Only questions are provided for clinical questions as examinees are strongly encouraged to answer them in their own words. Define tertiary prevention and give an example: - Tertiary prevention occurs after a disease has been diagnosed and clinical intervention is needed to reduce complications or deterioration. One example is the use of certain medications one must take after a heart attack to help reduce the risk of a future event or death. Explain apoptosis and why it is necessary: - Apoptosis is programmed cell death. This process eliminates cells that are worn out, have been produced in excess, have developed improperly, or have genetic damage. Apoptosis is also responsible for several normal physiologic processes, like replacing cell in the intestinal villi and removing aging red blood cells. Explain what necrosis is and give an example and description of one type of necrosis. - Necrosis refers to cell death in an organ or tissues that is still part of a living person. It often interferes with cell replacement and tissue regeneration. Coagulative necrosis results most often from a sudden cutoff of blood supply to an organ (ischemia), particularly the heart and kidney. Liquefactive necrosis occurs when some of the cells die but their catalytic enzymes are not destroyed. It is commonly seen with brain infarcts or abscesses. Caseous necrosis occurs as part of granulomatous inflammation and is most often associated with tuberculosis. Gangrenous necrosis most often affects the lower extremities or bowel and is secondary to vascular occlusion. The term gangrene is applied when a considerable mass of tissue undergoes necrosis. In

dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid. Match the type of cell injury to the cause. Some answer may be used more than once. - Know causes of cell injury: physical agents, radiation, chemical injury, biologic agents, nutritional imbalances, free radical injury, hypoxic cell injury and know examples of each type List the 4 types of tissue found in the body. Pick 2 and give a description and example of each. - 4 types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous and know descriptions and examples within each type What term means "cell eating" and engulfs and then kills microorganisms or other particulate matter?

  • phagocytosis What is the term to describe when cells use energy to move ions against an electrical or chemical gradient? - active transport Give one function of a membrane potential: - Generate nerve impulse, muscle contractions, or cause hormone secretion what is diffusion of water called? - osmosis Mortality - Deals with the cause of death in a population Incidence - Deals with the number of new cases in a population at risk during a specified time Prevalence - Number of people with the disease in a population in a given time

radiation treatment - Radiation Injury Lead toxicity - Chemical Injury Bacteria - Biological agents
