NURS 5315 UTA Exam 2 Questions and Answers Top
Graded 2025 A+ Solved Accurately
HIV EIA (3rd generation immunoassay) - Correct Ans-can use urine, saliva, or serum
(most accurate), need to wait until 12 weeks post exposure to see antibodies, >99%
accurate
4th generation immunoassay- "gold standard"
measures P24 antigen
can test 10 days post exposure
Mast cell - Correct Ans-Cellular bags of granules located in loose connective tisssue
close to blood vessels. Activation initiates inflammatory process.
Histamine - Correct Ans-Causes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability,
increases blood flow to the site of injury- causes erythema and swelling.
Cytokines - Correct Ans-Soluble factors that contribute to the regulation of innate or
adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells. Can be pro-inflammatory or
anti-inflammatory. Can react quickly or be more delayed.
Leukotrines - Correct Ans-Released when mast cells degranulate, prolong the
inflammatory process. Cause vasodilation, attract neutrophils, monocytes, and
eosinophils.target of inhibition for singular.
Prostaglandins - Correct Ans-Released when mast cells degranulate, are produced by
the arachidonic pathway. Cause vasodilation, platelet aggregation at site of injury, pain,
and fever.
Chemotactic factors - Correct Ans-Biochemical substance that attracts leukocyte to the
site of inflammation
Neutrophils - Correct Ans-Predominant leukocyte at work during the early stages of
acute inflammation
Monocytes - Correct Ans-Become macrophages when entering the tissue, responsible
for presenting antigens to the CD4 cell which triggers T-cell immunity and B-cell
immunity.
Releases additional cytokines IL1, IL6, TNF.
Cytokine IL1 function - Correct Ans-Causes fever, activates phagocytes & lymphocytes
and also increases the release of IL6a
Cytokine IL6 function - Correct Ans-Stimulates production of acute phase reactants and
promotes growth and stimulation of RBCs
, Cytokine TNF function - Correct Ans-Causes fever, increases synthesis of
proinflammatory proteins by liver, causes muscle wasting, induces thrombosis
Cytokine growth factor function - Correct Ans-Promotes production and maturation of
neutrophils
Complement - Correct Ans-Functions include bacterial lysis, vasodilation and increased
vascular permeability, triggers mast cell degranulation, chemotaxis, and opsonization.
Kinin - Correct Ans-Converted to bradykinin which is responsible for pain and
chemotaxis, and it increases vascular permeability and vasodilation.
Coagulation cascade - Correct Ans-Factor XII activates kinin. Function is to form fibrin
mesh to stop bleeding and trap micro organisms.
COX1 - Correct Ans-Prostaglandin of arachidonic pathway. Provides gastroprotection,
platelet aggregation, fluid/electrolyte balance
COX2 - Correct Ans-Prostaglandin of arachidonic pathway. Responsible for pain, fever,
renal protection, tissue repair, reproduction development.
COX2 inhibitors- clinical implications - Correct Ans-Protect gastric mucosa- prevent
ulcers and bleeding. Removed from market r/t cardiac events except for Celebrex. Can
impair renal function , monitor labs.
Arachidonic pathway purpose - Correct Ans-Synthesis of prostaglandins
Non-selective NSAIDS - Correct Ans-Inhibit COX1 and COX2, risk for gastric ulceration,
GI bleeds, edema, renal impairment
ASA - Correct Ans-Blocks COX1 and COX2, also inhibits Thromboxane A2 and
prostaglandins
Corticosteroids - Correct Ans-Inhibit phospholipase A2, preventing formation of
prostaglandins, thromboxane A2, prostacyclin, and leukotrines
Thromboxane - Correct Ans-Vasoconstriction, platelet aggregation
Prostacyclin - Correct Ans-Vasodilation, platelet aggregation (most effective one)
Type 1 hypersensitivity - Correct Ans-E. Immediate response to allergen, food, meds,
pollen, asthma, allergic reactions
P. IgE binds with antigen at 1st exposure. Antigen binds with this complex at 2nd
exposure. Inflammatory cascade initiates.
C.M. Urticaria, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, angioedema, anaphylaxis
