NR507 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY MIDTERM
EXAM|| CHAMBERLAIN QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS GRADED A+
Albumin - ANSWER: Approximately 60% of total plasma protein at a
concentration of about 4 g/dl, making it the most abundant class of plasma protein.
Carcinoma in situ - ANSWER: Preinvasive epithelial malignant tumors of glandular or squamous
cell origin that are localized to the epithelium and have notinvaded surrounding tissue.
Gram-stain technique - ANSWER: Microscopic evaluation of Gram-stained slidesof clinical
specimens to diagnose gonococcal urethritis in a symptomatic man.
Papanicolaou (Pap) test - ANSWER: Screening test for cervical cancer by
examining cervical epithelial scrapings for early oncogenic human papillomavirus(HPV)
infection.
Hyperkalemia causes - ANSWER: Investigated in the presence of renal disease,trauma, insulin
deficiency, Addison disease, potassium salt substitutes use, or
metabolic acidosis.
Infectious process stages - ANSWER: Progress through colonization, invasion, multiplication,
and spread.
Coronary ostia - ANSWER: Openings in the aorta through which coronary arteriesreceive blood.
Hepatitis B virus transmission - ANSWER: Known to be sexually transmitted.
Gonococci infections treatment concern - ANSWER: Major concern is the development of
antibiotic resistance in strains like penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and
others.
, Parasympathetic fibers - ANSWER: Supply innervation to the bladder and internalurethral
sphincter
Alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) - ANSWER: Stimulatesthe
hypothalamus and the sympathetic nervous system.
Metastasis of prostate cancer - ANSWER: Most commonly to the bones, especially the lumbar
spine area.
Metastasis - ANSWER: Spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body
GFR - ANSWER: Glomerular filtration rate directly related to perfusion pressurein glomerular
capillaries
Insufficient erythropoiesis in children - ANSWER: Most commonly caused byiron deficiency.
Abnormalities in cytokines in children with cystic fibrosis - ANSWER: Deficit ofIL-10 and
excess of IL-1, IL-8, and TNF-α.
Capillary network - ANSWER: Extensive network in the heart, withapproximately 3300
capillaries per square millimeter.
Type I hypersensitivity reaction - ANSWER: Mediated by antigen-specific IgEand mast cell
products.
Atrioventricular (AV) node depolarization rate - ANSWER: Approximately 40 to60 spontaneous
depolarizations per minute if the SA node fails.
Plasma glucose threshold - ANSWER: Threshold for glucose is achieved whenplasma glucose
reaches 180 mg/dl, as seen in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
