WCU PATHOPHYSIOLOGY MIDTERM CORRECT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔A 3-year old boy who exhibits prolonged bleeding after minor trauma and a
prolonged aPTT, bu a normal platelet count, is likely to be diagnosed with -
✔✔Hemophilia
✔✔The majority of cardiac cells that die after myocardial infarction do so because of -
✔✔apoptosis
✔✔Dramatic hypotension sometimes accompanies type I hypersensitivity reactions
because - ✔✔massive histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation
✔✔What results when systemic blood pressure is increased? - ✔✔Vasoconstriction
✔✔The increased anterior-posterior chest diameter associated with obstructive lung
disease is caused by - ✔✔increased residual lung volume
✔✔Hypernatremia may be caused by - ✔✔decreased antidiuretic hormone secretion
✔✔Tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin-1 contribute to shock states because they
induce production of - ✔✔nitric oxide
✔✔Which finding is indicative of orthostatic hypotension in a person with a supine BP of
110/70 and a HR of 100? - ✔✔Sitting BP 88/60, HR 118
✔✔Familial retinoblastoma involves the transmission of what from parent to offspring? -
✔✔Mutant tumor-suppressor gene

muscles of respiration
, ✔✔Which acid are the kidneys unable to excrete? - ✔✔Carbonic
✔✔Myocarditis should be suspected in a patient who presents with - ✔✔acute onset of
left ventricular dysfunction
✔✔A type of shock that includes brain trauma that results in depression of the
vasomotor center is cardiogenic - ✔✔False, neurogenic shock
✔✔Your patient is scheduled for a staging procedure. She wants to know what that
means. The correct response is which of the following? - ✔✔It is a procedure for
determining the extent of tumor spread

✔✔The person at highest risk for developing hypernatremia is a person who -
✔✔receives tube feedings because he or she is comatose after a stroke
✔✔Chronic bronchitis often leads to cor pulmonale because of - ✔✔increased
pulmonary vascular resistance
✔✔A patient with cold and edematous extremities, low cardiac output, and profound
hypotension is likely to be experiencing a progressive stage of ______ shock. -
✔✔Septic
✔✔Individuals who have chronic bronchitis most often have - ✔✔a productive cough
✔✔The process responsible for distribution of fluid between the interstitial and
intracellular compartments is - ✔✔osmosis
✔✔A patient has been hospitalized several times in 6 months with severe ECV
depletion and hypokalemia resulting from chronic laxative abuse. Which blood gas
results should be relayed to the physician? - ✔✔pH in high part of normal range, PaO2
normal, PaCO2 high, bicarbonate high
✔✔All these cellular responses are potentially reversible except - ✔✔necrosis
✔✔Constrictive pericarditis is associated with - ✔✔impaired cardiac filling
✔✔A disease that is native to a particular region is called - ✔✔endemic
✔✔Croup is characterized by - ✔✔a barking cough
