Preview 3 out of 30 pages

Prepare for the NR507 Midterm Exam with this comprehensive study guide focused on key concepts and effective review strategies for advanced pathophysiology. This resource is designed to help students organize major course concepts, reinforce essential terminology, and practice connecting pathophysiologic mechanisms with clinical findings. Review areas may include cellular adaptation and injury, inflammation, immune responses, genetics, fluid and electrolyte balance, cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, renal and endocrine dysfunction, neurological conditions, and other major disease processes. The guide emphasizes understanding how alterations at the cellular and systemic levels contribute to signs, symptoms, complications, and disease progression. Use this NR507 Midterm Exam Study Guide for independent study, classroom review, practice-question preparation, or targeted revision before the examination. Structured review can help identify knowledge gaps, reinforce important relationships between disease mechanisms and clinical manifestations, and strengthen application of advanced pathophysiology concepts. For the best preparation, pair this resource with your assigned NR507 textbook, course readings, lecture notes, eDapt activities, learning objectives, and instructor guidance. It provides an organized framework for reviewing key concepts and developing a more focused approach to NR507 midterm preparation.

NR507 Midterm Exam Study Guide

General Study Tips and Recommendations

 Topics and content on guides are intended to focus student attention when reading/studying and
some topics may be repeated in multiple chapters.

 Multiple test items are derived from the same topic areas to encourage deeper comprehension.
 Students must have a broad understanding of content and not simply memorize passages in
textbooks or articles.
 Information contained in the chapters as well as boxes and table within the chapters may
include test items.
 Exam questions represent various levels of cognitive learning. You are expected to analyze,
synthesis, and evaluate patient scenarios in order to answer the questions.
 Read all of the answers BEFORE reading the stem of the question. This will help you focus on the
key content and not get distracted by extraneous information. Once you have selected your
answer, read the question one more time to ensure that the best answer has been chosen.
 Utilize your time well by not rushing. You will have plenty of time to read each question for
understanding before you select your final answer.

Major Content Topics:

Alterations in Immunity & Inflammation

 Hypersensitivity
 Immunodeficiency
 Autoimmunity

Alterations in Hematologic Function

 Anemia
 Role of erythropoietin in RBC production
 Primary site of RBC production
 Anemia
 Microcytic anemias
 Macrocytic anemias
 Normocytic anemias
 Hemoglobinopathies

Alterations of Cardiovascular Function

 Coronary artery disease

Definition: imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand and supply from coronary arteries

Prolonged O2 demand on the heart leads to Myocardial Infraction

Cause: Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries with myocardial ischemia

PATHO: LDL in blood overtime starts to stick to artery wall. It grows over time which limits the blood flow
to heart. As people do activity, sob and chest pain with activities. Goes away with rest.-stable angina

Unstable: plaque rupture: artery wall messed up, body sends clotÝng factors to artery to repair it and
forms a thrombus.

ACS: Thrombus keeps growing and growing which stops blood flow : unstable angina (chest pain
unrelieved by rest and nitroglycerin doesn’t relieve chest pain.

Once thrombus completes blocks blood flow= MI(heart muscle dies)

Non-modifiable: age(men > 45 y/o ; women > 55 y/o), family history

modifiable:: Elevated LDL(BAD) & Decreased HLD(Good), Hypertension, Diabetes, smoking

Present as Stable Angina, Prinzmetal Angia, Acute Coronary Syndrome(unstable angina, Non ST
elevation, MI, NSTEMI, STEMI Chronic Ischemia heart disease, sudden cardiac death)

Less common cause:

Coronary Embolus: A-Fib, Infective endocarditis, left atrial or ventricular thrombus, cardiac cath

Vasculitis(CAD in Children): * Kawasaki disease (medium vessel vasculitis cause coronary artery
aneurysm)

Vasospasm: reduce blood flow

Aortic Valve Stenosis: not enough blood to coronaries leading to myocardial ischemia

Causes of concentric ventricular hypertrophy: HTN, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy d/t more heart
muscle to supply

Stable(Plaque) Angina(hasn’t ruptured)

(Near -total occlusion w/ no infraction of b/c atherosclerotic plaque grows slowly gives heart to develop
**collateral circulationRerouting**)- that supplies the hyperperfused area

Secondary to Myocardial Ischemia(Reversible Cell Injury)

Atherosclerotic plaque occluding > 75% of coronary artery lumen

S/S chest pain with activity, sob, fatigue-goes away with rest

Infraction: Irreversible cell injury or death

Described as :

Deep poorly localized squeezing, crushing, suffocating, retrosternal pain(jaw, neck, arm)

Other symptoms: sob, nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, fatigue, dizziness

*** Reproducible during: Physical exertion or Emotional Stress***
