WCU PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (MIDTERM) EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED
Presence of CD4+ cells, non-productive cough, granulomas, fatigue, weight loss,
and fever are all common characteristics of - CORRECT_ANSWER_Sarcoidosis
Dyspnea, diminished breath sounds, and tracheal shift are clinical manifestations
of - CORRECT_ANSWER_Pleural effusion
Antacids being a risk factor for - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypophosphatemia
Hyperparathyroidism is a risk factor for - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypercalcemia
Hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia both - CORRECT_ANSWER_Increase
neuromuscular excitability.
,Diarrhea can cause - CORRECT_ANSWER_Metabolic acidosis
Confusion is a sign of - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypernatremia
Muscle weakness and cardiac dysrhythmias are manifestations of -
CORRECT_ANSWER_Moderate to severe hypokalemia
Chronic alcoholism is a cause for - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypomagnesemia
Decreased urine output is a symptom of - CORRECT_ANSWER_Clinical dehydration
Decreased antidiuretic hormone can cause - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypernatremia
Confusion, lethargy, coma, and perhaps seizures are clinical manifestations of -
CORRECT_ANSWER_Hyponatremia
,The relationship of metabolic alkalosis and hypokalemia -
CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypokalemia maintains metabolic alkalosis by five different
mechanisms. First, hypokalemia results in the shift of hydrogen ions intracellularly.
The resulting intracellular acidosis enhances bicarbonate reabsorption in the
collecting duct.
The respiratory system compensates for - CORRECT_ANSWER_Metabolic acidosis
and alkalosis.
Hyperventilation can cause - CORRECT_ANSWER_Respiratory alkalosis
Headache is an early sign of - CORRECT_ANSWER_Metabolic acidosis
Respiratory acidosis includes an increase in - CORRECT_ANSWER_Carbonic acid
Renal compensation for respiratory acidosis is shown by -
CORRECT_ANSWER_Elevated bicarbonate ion concentration.
, Hypoventilation can lead to - CORRECT_ANSWER_Respiratory acidosis
Kidneys are not able to excrete - CORRECT_ANSWER_Carbonic acid
A common cause of heart failure is which of the following? (Select all that apply. -
CORRECT_ANSWER_-Coronary artery disease
-Cardiomyopathy
-Hypertension
When the cause of a disease is due to unintended or unwanted medical
treatment, the term to describe this is - CORRECT_ANSWER_latrogenic
COPD type A is referred to as: - CORRECT_ANSWER_Emphysema
A heart that has to pump harder in order to effectively circulate blood is likely to
undergo which type of cellular adaptation? - CORRECT_ANSWER_Hypertrophy
