GCU NUR-631 Final Exam Questions With
Complete Solutions
Where do we hold all our DNA within the cytocell?
The nucleus
What is it programmed cell death?
Apoptosis
What happens with impaired metabolism of the
cell?
Accumulation of waste products
Interpret this ABG: pH7.22/PcO2 60/Hco3 26
Respiratory acidosis
How does water move between ICF and ECF?
Osmosis
What protein carries an increased risk for a neural
tube defect?
Alpha fetoprotein
What are clinical manifestations of Down
Syndrome?
Wide spaced eyes; low nasal bridge; cardiac
defects; IQ <70, short stature, low set ears,
webbed neck
How can a newborn be diagnosed with type 1 DM?
,Because it is an auto-immune disease
What gene maintains the cell in wound healing and
inflammation, they take care of the maintenance if
all other cells?
Housekeeping gene
Why do older adults take longer to heal?
Their co-morbidities can delay wound healing
What happens when there isn't enough collectin
like proteins in the newborn?
Increased risk of respiratory infection
What type of immunity results from a vaccination
or from having the disease?
Active acquired immunity
Where do B lymphocytes mature?
B lymphocytes mature to B cells in the bone
marrow
What is type II hypersensitivity? What happens to
the cell surface?
The anitbodies are binding antigens on cell surface
- IgG / IgM
Reasons to give Rhogam
Prevent hemolytic anemia of the newborn in an Rh
negative mom, and an Rh positive fetus
, What happens at a cellular level that can cause
rejection in a transplant patient?
TH1 cells will release cytokines (inflammation),
cytotoxic T cells, and macrophages. They will start
to attack the epithelial cells of the transplanted
tissue
When are exotoxins released?
During bacterial growth
What cells help us fight fungal infections?
T lymphocytes and phagocytes
What hormone is affected during times of stress?
Cortisol
What does cortisol do to blood glucose in
prolonged stress?
Blood glucose can decrease with prolonged stress
because it can cause adrenal fatigue.
In MODS, what hormone stimulates normal
endothelial cells to change to a pro-inflammatory
state?
Interluekins; TNF (tumor necrosis factor); IL6
Remember interleukin 4 is LEAST LIKELY.
How dehydrated does a child have to be before we
see hypotension?
