ENDOCRINE TEST PAPER 2026 VERIFIED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Role of the Nurse.
Answer: 1. Prevention of disease
2. Early case finding
3. Minimizing impact of illness
4. Promoting healing andpreventing more problems
5. Maximizing potential
⩥ Pathogenesis.
Answer: development of disease
⩥ Etiology.
Answer: Cause -> Effect
⩥ Idiopathic.
Answer: no known cause
⩥ Risk Factors.
,Answer: Increase the chances that a certain disease will develop
⩥ Disease.
Answer: abnormal functioning
⩥ Illness.
Answer: Subjective experience
⩥ Sub/Pre-Clinical stage.
Answer: disease is present but pt. is unaware
⩥ Prodromal stage.
Answer: vague, non-specific
⩥ Clinical stage.
Answer: disease is evident, diagnosis is clear
⩥ Sign.
Answer: objective , measurable finding
⩥ Symptom.
Answer: what pt. is feeling
,⩥ Prognosis.
Answer: a prediction of the outcome of a disease
⩥ Sequellae.
Answer: permanent injury directly related to the disease process
⩥ Complications.
Answer: new problems that arise because of a disease
⩥ autosomal dominant.
Answer: -The abnormal gene is dominant. Only one gene is needed to
express the trait.
- There is no carrier state. You either have it or you don't
- Heterozygotes have less severe disease than homozygotes.
- Signs and symptoms most often occur at a delayed age.
⩥ Rules of Inheritance - Autosomal Dominant.
Answer: -If you have the disease, it is most likely inherited from one
parent. A spontaneous mutation is possible, but very rare.
-There is a 50/50 or 1 in 2 chance that a child will be diseased with each
new pregnancy.
, - If you do not have the disease, you can NOT pass it to children. No
carrier state.
-Males and females are equally effected.
⩥ Huntington's pathology.
Answer: -Etiology: defect on C4causes CAG repeats.Normal is 10-35
times. H may be 36-120 times.
-Overproduction of Huntington chemical.
-Causes brain damage
-Late onset jerky movements, wide gait, mood changes, dementia, death
⩥ autosomal recessive.
Answer: -Abnormal gene is recessive. Two identical abnormal genes
need to express trait.
-Carrier state is common. A carrier has onerecessive gene but is often
unaware. Hasno S & S but can pass gene to offspring.
-Often associated with geographical or ethnic groups due to culturally
mediated limitation of gene pool called consanguineous union.
⩥ autosomal recessive rules.
Answer: -If a patient has the disease, they have received one gene from
each parent.
-Parents are often unaware that they are carriers. They are not ill
themselves.
