100% CORRECT ANSWERS BYU APPROVED EXAM
What are the three things that happen with acute inflammation?
intended to localize and eliminate cause
remove the damaged tissue
repair/regenerate new tissue
what are the five cardinal signs?
Rubor (redness)
Calor (heat)
Tumor (swelling)
Dolor (pain)
Functio laesa (loss of funtion)
What physical symptom precedes redness?
tenderness
what is the MOA behind (Tumor) swelling
Protien-rich fluid and cells migrating to the inflamed site
What is an abscess?
localized pocket of purulent exudate or pus contained in a solid tissue
such as around a tooth or on the brain

Applied Pathophysiology in Nursing
What do you call a fluid that has a low protein content and accumulates in
body cavities that is not the result of an inflammatory reaction? For
example, when fluid is pushed into the abdomen by hydrostatic pressure
liver failure?
Transudates form by hydrostatic push or oncotic changes
what is the deffintion of pain?
state of distress, anguish, great sorrow, or mental suffering.
What is Acute inflammation pathophysiology process?
1. vasoconstriction
2. rapid arteriolar/venos dilation
3. increase capillary blood flow
4. Hyperemia --> increase vascular permeability (plasma proteins to shift
into the interstitial space-fluid follows)
5. edema
What happens to osmotic pressures in the IVS if just fluid shifts to theISS?
everything inter vascular will be more concentrated and osmolality will be
higher
What will happen to the osmotic pressures of the IVS and ISS if
plasmaproteins leave the IVS and shift to the ISS and how will changes
isosmotic pressure effect where fluid moves?
movement of proteins redices the IVS osmotic pressure in the ISS this
caises more fluid t omoce into the tissues which make swelling pain and
loss of funtions.

Applied Pathophysiology in Nursing
what cells are delivered to the site of injury first
neutrophils
How specifically is chronic inflammation different than acute
inflammation?
chronic has less swelling, more lymphocytes, macrophages and
fibroblasts than acute inflammation. More collogen reduces in more
fibrous tissue.
what is the normal range for platelets?
Normal range: 150,000 to 400,000.
what do endothelial cells do?
what do neutrophils do?
destroy microbes and dead tissues
what is the most abundant leukocyte?
Neutrophil
what cells are considered the primary fighter agenst bacterial infections?
Neutrophils
