NUR 2063 Pathophysiology Final Exam 2025
Explain primary prevention - ANSWER Preventing"; altering
susceptibility or reducing exposure of disease for people
Explain secondary prevention - ANSWER "Screening"; early
detection, screening, and management of disease to catch disease early before it
spreads
Explain tertiary prevention - ANSWER "Treating" and preventing
further complications from a disorder or disease after the person has the
condition
What are examples of primary prevention? - ANSWER
Vaccinations and Handwashing
,What are examples of secondary prevention? - ANSWER PAP
smears for STDs, lab work for HBA1C check, mammogram
What are examples of tertiary prevention? - ANSWER Rehab for
hip surgery, relearning ADL's after amputation, Wound care after stroke to prevent
pressure ulcer
What happens to the body during the sympathetic phase of the flight or fight
response? - ANSWER Pupils dilate, salivation inhibited, increase
in HR, bronchodilation of airway, increased respirations, glucose release, inhibit
GI/GU.
What happens to the body during the parasympathetic phase of the flight or light
response? - ANSWER Rest and Digest. Pupils constrict, salivation
occurs, decreased HR, bronchoconstriction,decreased respiration, GI/GU systems
resume action
Explain the role of the nucleus - ANSWER control center of the
cell, where DNA and genes are stored, produces mRNA to help build body proteins
,Explain the role of the mitochondria - ANSWER Powerhouse of
the cell. Provides energy in ATP, and has its own set of DNA
Explain the role of the ribosome - ANSWER produces RNA to
produce proteins through transcriptions of DNA and translation of RNA into a
protein
Explain the role of the lysosomes - ANSWER helps breakdown
and digest dead cells, organelles, or tissues
Explain the role of the rough ER - ANSWER folded membranes
that move proteins around the cell. Has ribosomes attached to it and helps
produce proteins for the cell membrane
, Explain the role of the smooth ER - ANSWER helps the Liver and
kidney cells to detoxify, lipid metabolism, synthesis of hormones, and calcium
storage
Explain the role of the peroxisome - ANSWER membrane cells
that contain oxidase and catalase to detoxify harmful chemicals, breakdown
hydrogen peroxide and filter metabolic wastes
Explain the role of the Golgi body - ANSWER stacked membranes
that act as the sorter and packager for proteins from the ER. Helps move things in
and out of cell
Explain passive immunity - ANSWER the transfer of preformed
antibodies against specific antigens from a protected or immunized individual to
an unprotected or non immunized person. Provides immediate and short term
protection. No memory cells are produced. IgA and IgE. Passes protection
What are examples of passive immunity? - ANSWER mom to
fetus through placenta or mom to infant through breast milk. Serotherapy
