(MOST RECENT!!), with the strongest emphasis placed on Demonstrate mastery of core
concepts, NURS 6202 FINAL EXAM AND PRACTICE EXAM and CAPELLA UNIVERSITY. Every
item follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in the real paper, and each one is
paired with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess. Work through the set at your
own pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to them until the reasoning
feels automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room recognising the pattern
behind the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going - steady, honest
practice is what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
In a cell with a mutation that eliminates the function of the sodium-glucose
cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubule, how does this affect the renal
threshold for glucose and the cellular mechanism of glucose reabsorption?
A. The renal threshold rises because more glucose is reabsorbed by GLUT2 on the basolateral
membrane.
B. The renal threshold falls because SGLT2 is the primary transporter for glucose reabsorption;
without it, glucose is excreted at lower plasma levels. CORRECT
C. The renal threshold remains unchanged because SGLT1 compensates fully for SGLT2 loss in
the proximal tubule.
D. The renal threshold falls because SGLT2 normally secretes glucose into the tubular lumen,
and its loss reduces net reabsorption.
RATIONALE: SGLT2 in the early proximal tubule is responsible for the majority (about 90%) of
glucose reabsorption. Loss of function lowers the transport maximum, so glucosuria occurs at a
lower plasma glucose concentration-the renal threshold falls. SGLT1 can only partially
compensate, and GLUT2 is a basolateral facilitated transporter, not a luminal reabsorptive
transporter. SGLT2 does not secrete glucose.

,Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A patient with chronic heart failure is started on a medication that inhibits the
reuptake of norepinephrine at the synaptic cleft. Which compensatory
cardiovascular response is most likely to be impaired by this drug's mechanism?
A. Baroreceptor-mediated reflex tachycardia during acute hypotension CORRECT
B. Renin release from juxtaglomerular cells in response to reduced renal perfusion
C. Vasoconstriction of cutaneous vessels during cold exposure
D. Sodium and water retention mediated by aldosterone release from the adrenal cortex
RATIONALE: Inhibiting norepinephrine reuptake increases synaptic norepinephrine, potentiating
sympathetic effects. However, the baroreceptor reflex relies on rapid adjustments in sympathetic
and parasympathetic outflow; excessive norepinephrine can desensitize receptors and impair the
reflex tachycardia. Renin release is directly stimulated by renal sympathetic nerves (beta-1),
which would be enhanced, not impaired. Cutaneous vasoconstriction and aldosterone release
are also sympathetically driven and would be augmented.
Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
Which of the following best explains why a deficiency in vitamin B12 can cause
neurologic symptoms that are not typically seen in folate deficiency?
A. Folate is not required for myelin synthesis in the central nervous system.
B. Vitamin B12 is a cofactor for the methylation of myelin basic protein, a reaction that does not
require folate.
C. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, and its
deficiency leads to abnormal fatty acid synthesis that damages myelin. CORRECT
D. Folate deficiency is always accompanied by vitamin B12 deficiency, so the neurologic
symptoms are actually due to folate deficiency.
RATIONALE: Vitamin B12 is a cofactor for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which converts
methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. Deficiency leads to accumulation of methylmalonyl-CoA and
incorporation of abnormal fatty acids into myelin, causing demyelination. Folate is not involved in
this reaction. Both B12 and folate are needed for DNA synthesis, but the neurologic defect is
specific to B12 deficiency.

, Q4 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A researcher is studying a signaling pathway where a ligand binds to a receptor
tyrosine kinase (RTK). Which of the following molecular events is the most direct
consequence of RTK activation?
A. Activation of heterotrimeric G proteins and subsequent production of cyclic AMP
B. Receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues, creating docking sites
for downstream effectors CORRECT
C. Release of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol trisphosphate (IP3)
D. Translocation of the receptor to the nucleus to act as a transcription factor
RATIONALE: RTKs are single-pass transmembrane receptors that dimerize upon ligand binding
and autophosphorylate on tyrosine residues. These phosphotyrosines serve as docking sites for
proteins containing SH2 domains, initiating downstream cascades like Ras-MAPK. G
protein-coupled receptors, IP3-mediated calcium release, and nuclear translocation are features
of other receptor types, not RTKs.
Q5 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
In a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which of
the following best explains the formation of cysts in the renal tubules?
A. Loss of function of the PKD1 or PKD2 gene leads to increased intracellular calcium,
promoting cell proliferation.
B. Mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes result in defective primary cilia, causing aberrant
signaling and uncontrolled tubular epithelial proliferation. CORRECT
C. The disease is caused by a single mutation that leads to reduced expression of aquaporin-2,
impairing water reabsorption.
D. Cyst formation is due to an autoimmune reaction against tubular basement membrane
antigens.
RATIONALE: ADPKD is caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2, which encode polycystin-1 and
polycystin-2. These proteins are localized to primary cilia, and their dysfunction disrupts
intracellular calcium signaling and other pathways, leading to increased cell proliferation and fluid
secretion, forming cysts. The other options do not reflect the molecular mechanism of ADPKD.
