NURS 6501 Midterm Exam Review Guide (Weeks 1-6) (NURS 6501 Midterm Exam Review) Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment Describe cellular processes and alterations within cellular processe s What is the impact of the genetic environment on disease? Explain how healthy cell activity contributes to good health and how its breakdown in cellular behavior and alterations to cells lead to health issue. What are the roles genetics plays in disease processes? What is the relationship of how cells are involved in disease processes? Altered Physiology Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes Analyze alterations in the immune system that result in disease processes Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology? … association of genes in the development of disease? What is the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems? Concepts of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disorders Common diseases and disorders that impact the Cardiovascular system Common diseases and disorders that impact the Respiratory System How these diseases and disorders relate to the pathophysiology of patients Alterations in pathophysiology in adults and children with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Cardiovascular system? How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Respiratory system? What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems?
