NUR 2063 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ LATEST UPDATE.
What is Pathophysiology ANS >> is the study of what happens when
the normal anatomy and physiology go wrong, causing disorder and
disease process of the human body.
What 4 things does pathophysiology include? ANS >> Aetiology,
Pathogenesis, Clinical Manifestations, and Treatment Implications
What is aetiology ANS >> study of causes or reasons for phenomena.
Includes Idiopathic conditions that have an unknown origin or cause.
,NUR 2063
What is pathogenesis? ANS >> development or evolution of disease
from initial stimulus to the expression of manifestations as time occurs.
What are clinical manifestations? ANS >> Signs and symptoms of
disorder.
What are treatment implications? ANS >> Which combine the
ethology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations to determine the
best treatment of condition per individual.
What are signs? ANS >> Objective or observed manifestations of
disease.
What are symptoms? ANS >> Subjective feelings of abnormality in the
body.
What is objective data ANS >> What you observe and can measure.
What are examples of objective data? ANS >> rash, low blood
pressure, bleeding
What is subjective data? ANS >> What the patient may report to you
,NUR 2063
What are examples of subjective data? ANS >> pain scale, they feel
suicidal, fatigued.
What is epidemiology? ANS >> study of the patterns of disease
involving populations. Based on the spread and contact of diseases in
people.
What are the levels of disease prevention? ANS >> Primary, Secondary,
Tertiary
Explain Primary Prevention ANS >> “Preventing"; altering susceptibility
or reducing exposure of disease for people.
Examples of Primary Prevention ANS >> Vaccinations and Handwashing
Explain Secondary Prevention ANS >> “Screening"; early detection,
screening, and management of disease to catch disease early before it
spreads
Examples of Secondary Prevention ANS >> PAP smears for STDs, lab
work for HBA1C check, mammogram
, NUR 2063
Explain Tertiary Prevention ANS >> “Treating" and preventing further
complications from a disorder or disease after the person has the
condition
Examples of Tertiary Prevention ANS >> Rehab for hip surgery,
relearning ADLs after amputation, Wound care after stroke to prevent
pressure ulcers.
What is homeostasis? ANS >> a state of equilibrium in which all body
systems are in balance and the body is at its most optimal in
functioning. Stable.
What is allostasis? ANS >> ability to successfully adapt to challenges. It
is not a balance but an attempt to adapt to achieve homeostasis.
Example: sweating to lower one’s body temp.
Stages of the General Adaptation Syndrome ANS >> alarm, resistance,
exhaustion
Explain alarm stage of general adaptation syndrome ANS >> Where the
sympathetic nervous system is activated due to stress. Fight or Flight
responses are activated and energy is given off by the HPA axis to flee or
fight the danger ahead. Blood must be redirected to vital organs in this
stage to give the organs energy to work.
