PN 2003 PRACTICE FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS (100 % CORRECT AND
VERIFIED) ALREADY PASSED!!
Insulin. - (ANSWER)- Pancreatic hormone necessary for the metabolism of
glucose.
Insulin independence - (ANSWER)- ability of client's own naturally produced
insulin to regulate blood glucose levels within consistently normal ranges.
Insulin resistance - (ANSWER)- decreased sensitivity to insulin at the tissue level
Insulin : type 1 - (ANSWER)no insulin is produced
Insulin : type 2 - (ANSWER)not enough insulin
Hypoglycemia - (ANSWER)low level of sugar in the blood
Hyperglycemia - (ANSWER)is an increased level of sugar in the blood
Alzheimer's disease: early stage - (ANSWER)mild impairment, short term memory
loss and depression
Alzheimer's disease: middle stage - (ANSWER)increased need for assistance with
ADL's (Activities of daily living and IADL's (instrumental activities of daily living)
,Alzheimer's disease - (ANSWER)Late Stage
24-hour care is required, unable to communicate or look after themselves
What are characteristics of vascular? - (ANSWER)Vascular Dementia is caused by
small cerebral infarctions. Brain damage may be local or systemic, the onset is
more rapid, and the disease progresses more predictably
onset of cognitive deficits associated with stroke
- abrupt onset of signs and symptoms
- infarctions are seen on cerebral imaging
caused by damage to the brain from small infarctions
caused by circulatory problems with insufficient blood flow and oxygen reaching
the brain
Risk factors include
- smoking - vasoconstriction constricts the flow of blood to the brain
- hypertension
- hyperlipidemia - atherosclerosis causes narrowed blood flow to brain
- inactivity
- history of stoke or cardiovascular disease
, What is dementia? - (ANSWER)Dementia is an irreversible, progressive
impairment in cognitive function, affecting
- memory
- orientation
- judgement
- reasoning
- attention span
- language and problem-solving skills
Signs and Symptoms of dementia - (ANSWER)Signs and Symptoms
- decline in memory, reasoning, and communication
- changes in behavior
- loss of skills (ADL's and IADL's)
- movement difficulties
What is front temporal dementia? - (ANSWER)Dementia is an irreversible,
progressive impairment in cognitive function, affecting
- memory
- orientation
- judgement
- reasoning
- attention span
