Nursing 337 Patho Exam 2 power points Patho Questions
With Complete Solutions
"Walking" Pneumonia Correct Answer Mycoplasma is a
small bacterialike organism that can cause a; this is a mild
pneumonia where the patient may not appear very ill but has
persistent cough and, commonly, headache and earache.
(BUN) is called? Correct Answer AZOTEMIA.
250mL = Correct Answer 1 Hgb
so if you have a Hgb level of 6 Hgb and you add 1000mL of
blood it would bring you to 10Hgb
2nd system to help maintenance of BP Correct Answer
posterior pituitary senses low blood volume
ADH acts at nephrons to increase H20 reabsorption into the
bloodstream
results in increased BP
A bilateral pleural effusion may develop as a result of high
pulmonary venous pressure, causing diffusion of fluid into the
pleural cavity is? Correct Answer Severe Pulmonary Edema
A defining feature of ARDS is? Correct Answer arterial
hypoxemia that does not improve with administration of oxygen
,a healthy individual should have a LVEF fraction of ? Correct
Answer approximately 60% to 70% of blood volume in the left
ventricle is pumped out with each contraction.
A leukemoid reaction is? Correct Answer leukocytosis in
excess of 50,000/µL caused by conditions other than leukemia.
A LVEF of lower than? Correct Answer 40% is indicative of
heart failure.
A pneumothorax, also known as a? Correct Answer collapsed
lung
is the presence of air in the pleural cavity that causes collapse of
a large section or whole lobe of lung tissue. Air can enter the
pleural cavity because of chest trauma or rupture of alveoli.
A varicose vein is? Correct Answer also called a varicosity, is
an abnormally dilated superficial vein
AAA Correct Answer Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) how is it diagnosed?
Correct Answer Auscultation of a bruit over the abdominal
aorta suggests the presence of an aneurysm.
If a pulsatile mass is evident in the abdomen during inspection
or light palpation, deep palpation should not be performed until
the possibility of AAA is ruled out.
abnormal Igs and fragments are called? Correct Answer
monoclonal proteins or M-proteins.
,ACE Correct Answer angiotension converting enzyme
ACS Correct Answer Acute Coronary Syndrome
Active Multiple Myeloma Correct Answer Osteoclastic
activity is greater than osteoblastic activity, causing bone
destruction and preventing bone formation.
Vertebral bones collapse. Bone destruction causes serum
hypercalcemia.
Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) Correct Answer a renal
disorder in which an immunological mechanism triggers
inflammation that damages the membranes of the glomerulus.
It is an autoimmune disease or poststreptococcal disorder.
Acute hydronephrosis is? Correct Answer short-term and,
when corrected, allows full recovery of renal function.
Acute Kidney Injury causes Correct Answer (AKI)
Causes are either prerenal, intrarenal (also called intrinsic), or
postrenal
Acute MI Correct Answer when the heart tissue endures
prolonged ischemia without recovery
suffer irreversible damage because of hypoxia and die in a
process
, referred to as ischemic necrosis
Acute Pharyngitis Correct Answer an inflammation of the
pharynx, is usually caused by a virus.
Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) is also called
streptococcus pyogenes.
The infection can spread from the pharynx to cause sinusitis and
otitis media.
Acute Rhinitis Correct Answer Acute rhinitis is a disorder
that results in inflammation and irritation of the mucous
membranes of the nose. Often called the common cold, rhinitis
is caused by rhinovirus among other viruses and transmitted
through airborne droplets.
The incubation period is approximately 2 to 4 days. Rhinovirus
is shed in large amounts and can occur a few days before cold
symptoms are recognized by the patient.
Viral shedding peaks on days 2 through 7 of the illness.
Acute rhinitis can also be caused by allergies Correct Answer
In this case, it resembles the illness of the common cold;
however, the interior nasal mucosa and turbinates are usually
gray colored.
Discharge from the nose is clear colored.
The patient often has a crease at the tip of the nose from the
constant maneuver of wiping upward from the nares; this is
sometimes referred to as the "allergic salute."
The patient's CBC usually shows a high number of eosinophils.
Acute Sinusitis Symptoms Correct Answer Headache
Facial pain
