Which diagnostic test would be ordered by the primary healthcare provider to
confirm sarcoidosis? - ANSWER: chest x ray
Which immunoglobulin is primarily responsible for an allergic response? - ANSWER:
IgE
A nurse is assessing a child with a pollen allergy for allergic rhinitis. Which clinical
manifestation would the nurse expect to find? - ANSWER: watery eyes and
rhinorrhea
Which type of hypersensitivity presents as a "delayed" reaction and is used in the
Mantoux test for tuberculosis? - ANSWER: typer IV hypersensitivity
Which of the following statements is incorrect? - ANSWER: Men are more commonly
affected by autoimmune diseases than women.
Which condition results in the accumulation of fibrous tissue in the skin? - ANSWER:
scleroderma
Which symptom is the most common clinical manifestation observed in clients with
severe combined immunodeficiency disease? - ANSWER: susceptibility to infection
Severe combined immunodeficiency ________________. - ANSWER: affects both B
and T cells
Which is the most common primary immunodeficiency? - ANSWER: IgA deficiency
Which cells type does the human immunodeficiency virus infect? - ANSWER: CD4
1 Which of the following relate to a change in cell size? - ANSWER: Atrophy and
hypertrophy
An echocardiogram reveals Charles, an ultramarathon runner, has an enlarged left
ventricle. As this increase in ventricular size is supported by increased blood flow and
ATP production due to the training Charles has undertaken, this increase in heart
size demonstrates - ANSWER: physiological hypertrophy
A friend comes to you concerned, as her recent Pap tests revealed the presence of
cervical dysplasia. Which of the following responses to your friend's comment is
correct? - ANSWER: Dysplasia indicates a change in the cellular appearance
, Cell injury occurs when cells are exposed to a severe stress that no longer allows
them to maintain homeostasis. What basic changes occur as a result of cell injury?
Select all that apply. - ANSWER: Cellular swelling, defects in protein synthesis, and
dysfunction of the sodium-potassium pump
Which of the following are examples of necrosis? Select all that apply. - ANSWER:
Third-degree burn, myocardial cell damage caused by myocardial infarction, cell
death caused by exposure to snake venom
which is a natural increase in an organ's size in order to meet increased demands. In
Brian's case, the left ventricle enlarged in response to the increased work output
required for Brian's training and competition. Unlike pathological hypertrophy,
support structures also increase. - ANSWER: physiological hypertrophy
is programmed cell death. is a regulated pathway by which damaged or unneeded
cells begin the death process. As this is a genetically regulated process, it is
controlled and predictable. Necrosis, on the other hand, is cellular death induced by
damage to the cell, which the cell cannot withstand. In Karen's case, HIV appears to
be activating the pathways of CD4 apoptosis. - ANSWER: apoptosis
occurs when cells take on an abnormal appearance. Compared to normal cells, cells
demonstrating dysplasia are atypical in size and shape. does not mean the cells are
cancerous. However, some screening tests, such as the Pap smear, examine tissues
to determine if any cellular changes are taking place. Any changes in the cells can
then be monitored over time. - ANSWER: Dysplasia
is uncontrolled and unregulated cell growth. The mass of tissue resulting is known as
a "neoplasm." In a benign neoplasm, the cells do not have the characteristics
associated with malignancy. The cells, although cancerous, are well-differentiated,
meaning they resemble normal, mature cells. The cells are also in a contained area
and are unlikely to spread. - ANSWER: Benign neoplasia
premature cell death caused by cell injury. differs from apoptosis, in that the cellular
destruction results from some form of trauma, rather than genetic programming. In
Miguel's case, ischemia, which is a lack of oxygen delivery to the cells, caused
metabolic processes to fail, leading to death of the cell. - ANSWER: necrosis
exist in several forms and it occurs when the blood supply to tissue is disrupted. In
this scenario, a specific form of gangrene, known as gas gangrene, is present. Gas
gangrene is the result of infection with Clostridium perfringens. This infection begins
deep in the body in traumatized tissues. An exotoxin produced by the bacteria
causes the destruction of healthy muscle tissue and produces a foul odor. - ANSWER:
gangrene
the replacement of one type of cell within another type of cell. In Walter's case,
squamous cells were replaced with columnar cells. Normally, such cellular changes
are brought on by injury or insult to the cells. The change in cell type is the body's
