NSG 320: Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
Absorption Correct Answers The movement of a drug from site
of administration to the blood to the blood.
Rate of absorption determines how soon effects will begin.
Amount of absorption determines how intense effects will be.
Acute Correct Answers Short course with more severe
symptoms
Sudden onset
Acute Phase Correct Answers Full expression of disease
Adaptation Correct Answers The ability to respond to
challenges (stressors) that affect homeostasis and then return to
a normal state
Biopsychosocial process of change in response new or altered
circumstances, intternal and extternal in origin.
Adverse Drug Reaction Correct Answers Any undesired effect
and may involve any of the following. Education and monitoring
may minimize them.
Affinity Correct Answers The strength of the attraction
between a drug and its receptor
Drugs with a high affinity are very potent
Agonist Correct Answers A drug that activates a receptor
Have affinity and high intrinsic activity
Can make a process go faster or slower
,Alarm Stage Correct Answers Sympathetic nervous system
HPA axis
Results in release of cortisol and catecholamines
allergic reaction Correct Answers An immune response
Allostasis Correct Answers Process for maintaining
homeostasis through variability and complexity
Maintaining stability through change
Allostatic load Correct Answers Demands of day to day life
Allostatic Overload Correct Answers Excessive demands
resulting in excessive wear and tear on the body
Antagonist Correct Answers A drug that does not activate as a
receptor or prevents another drug from activating it
Prevents receptor activation
Have affinity but no intrinsic activity
Apoptosis Correct Answers programmed cellular death
Cellular suicide response
Not always a pathologic process
Does not cause inflammation
Atrophy Correct Answers Decrease in size
Bioavailability Correct Answers Ability of a drug to be
absorbed. Involves factors such as tablet disintegration, enteric
coating, sustained-release preparations etc.
, bioavailability Correct Answers preparations are considered
equal in ______ if the drug they contain is absorbed at the same
rate and to the same extent
Carcinogen Correct Answers A drug that causes cancer
Caseous Necrosis Correct Answers Tuberculous pulmonary
infection
Combination of coagulative and liquefactive necrosis
Causative agent Correct Answers When the etiology has a
close link to a particular disease or injury.
Response to the agent may vary between individuals.
Causes of Hypoxic Injury Correct Answers Decrease in
atmospheric oxygen
Decreased hemoglobin
Decreased RBC production
Pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases
Damage to oxidative enzymes
Ischemia (lack of blood supply) is the leading cause
Causes of irreversible cell injury Correct Answers hypoxic
nutritional
biologic agents
chemical
Physical agents
Chemical Injury Correct Answers Carbon tetrachloride
Lead
Carbon monoxide
