RASMUSSEN PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 2
2026 WITH 100% ACCURATE ANSWERS
1. What type of incontinence is caused by trauma or damage to the
nervous system and there's no urge to go before it happens?
functional incontinence
reflex incontinence
overflow incontinence
mixed incontinence
2. What are the two electrolytes related to hyperparathyroidism?
Hypercalcemia and Hypophosphatemia
Hypocalcemia and Hypermagnesemia
Hypocalcemia and Hypomagnesemia
Hypercalcemia and Hypermagnesemia
3. Describe the relationship between parathyroid gland diseases and
electrolyte imbalances.
Parathyroid gland diseases have no effect on electrolyte levels.
Parathyroid gland diseases cause an increase in sodium and
potassium levels.
Parathyroid gland diseases often lead to elevated calcium
levels and decreased phosphate levels due to altered hormone
secretion.
Parathyroid gland diseases primarily affect glucose metabolism.
4. Which electrolyte is typically elevated in parathyroid gland diseases?
,Hypophosphatemia
, Hypercalcemia
Hyponatremia
Hyperkalemia
5. What is prediabetes?
Low blood glucose levels.
Blood glucose levels are elevated but not high enough to meet
the diagnostic criteria for diabetes.
Metabolic syndrome.
Not associated with impaired glucose intolerance, impaired
fasting glucose, or both.
6. In a cystocele, the bladder bulges into the:
vagina
urethra
colon
kidney
7. What is the primary role of the negative feedback loop in hormone
regulation?
Inhibiting further secretion of hormones
Enhancing hormone receptor activity
Increasing hormone sensitivity
Stimulating hormone production
8. What is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?
Any degree of glucose intolerance diagnosed before pregnancy
, A genetic condition that affects infants
A diabetic condition that only affects men
Any degree of glucose intolerance diagnosed during
pregnancy
9. Endometriosis is defined as:
a painful menstruation.
the condition in which uterine cells grow outside the uterus.
an infrequent menstrual cycle.
clots present during menstrual cycle.
the rupture of the fallopian tube.
10. Describe the significance of diagnosing gestational diabetes during
pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes is not significant as it resolves after
pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes is a permanent condition that requires
lifelong management.
Gestational diabetes only affects the mother and has no impact
on the baby.
Diagnosing gestational diabetes is crucial as it helps manage
glucose levels to prevent complications for both the mother
and the baby.
11. What is the primary cause of most cases of cervical cancer?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Chronic inflammation of the cervix
Hereditary genetic mutations
