WGU D027 STUDY GUIDE / COMPLETE ACCURATE
QUIZZES WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS / 2025.
Autosomal Dominant - (ANSWER)1 parent has, 50% change of child having
Autosomal Recessive - (ANSWER)Both parents are carriers, 25% change of child
having, 50% chance child is a carrier.
Cystic Fibrosis - (ANSWER)affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs
21st Trisomy - (ANSWER)Down Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY) - (ANSWER)male has extra X, female like qualities
Turner Syndrome - (ANSWER)Missing X in females
Alpha Thalassemia - (ANSWER)inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
Beta Thallasemia - (ANSWER)low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication
ferrous sulfate
Prevalence Risk - (ANSWER)proportion of the population affected at a certain
time
,Incidence rate - (ANSWER)number of new cases divided by population
Innate immunity - (ANSWER)inflammation; increased vascular permeability
B&T lymphocytes - (ANSWER)immune response
primary malignant tumor - (ANSWER)lack of organization of cells
glucocorticoids - (ANSWER)used in combination with other agent to treat
lymphoid tissue (leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM) - (ANSWER)for hormone receptor
positive and advanced breast cancer. (Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk)
Heart failure - (ANSWER)impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood;
heart cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
CHF - (ANSWER)heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
Left Ventricular Dysfunction - (ANSWER)reduced ejection fraction; ventricle
having issue ejecting blood.
, normal ejection fraction - (ANSWER)55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each
heartbeat)
Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved? - (ANSWER)preserved
Diastolic CHF - (ANSWER)preserved ejection fraction, problem is with filling
Systolic CHF - (ANSWER)reduced ejection fraction, problem is with ejecting
Left sided CHF - (ANSWER)pulmonary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3
murmurs) ** #1 cause of Right sided CHF
BNP - (ANSWER)gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF
Echocardiogram - (ANSWER)Diagnostic tool, evaluates heart structure and
function
At Risk for HF - Stage A - (ANSWER)no structural heart disease or symptoms of
heart failure
Stage A HF co-morbidities - (ANSWER)htn, atherosclerotic disease, diabetes,
metabolic syndrome, patients using cardiotoxins with family history
