NURS 8022 Exam 3
1. Which of the following disorders can lead to a low V/Q A. Pulmonary edema
mismatch?
A. Pulmonary edema
B. Pulmonary Embolism
C. Pulmonary Hypertension
D. Hypercapnia
2. Nitric oxide, which is released by the glomerular en- B. Vasodilation
dothelial cells, causes which physiological process to
occur?
A. Vasoconstriction
B. Vasodilation
3. What would be a normal physiological response in The patient's serum is hy-
regard to osmosis be in a patient with hyperglycemia? pertonic and the fluid will
move out of the cell
4. How does the parasympathetic nervous system de- Release of ACH from
crease heart rate? the parasympathetic sys-
tem increases the perme-
ability of K+ ions and leads
to hyperpolarization of the
cell.
5. A patient is in renal failure. The patient reports a Prerenal; dehydration
history of severe diarrhea for several days. They also
report they have not been able to eat or drink any-
thing for the last 24 hours due to not feeling well. The
NP would suspect that this patient's renal failure is a
(pre/intral/post renal) and is due to (dehydration/is-
chemia/urinary obstruction).
6. A. Aortic stenosis
, NURS 8022 Exam 3
Which of the following cardiac alterations could lead
to left sided hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
A. Aortic stenosis
B. Pulmonary hypertension
C. Cardiac dilation
D. Amyloidosis
7. Natriuretic peptides increase the _________ of sodium? excretion
8. A patient presents with right sided heart failure, what Left sided heart failure
is the most likely cause?
9. If a patient's BP was 200/120 what would you expect Afferent arteriole constric-
to occur physiologically in the kidneys? tion
10. GFR is directly related to.. renal blood flow and per-
fusion pressure in the
glomerular capillaries
11. Which of the following represents ventricular systole QT interval
on the ECG?
A. PR interval
B. QRS
C. ST interval
D. QT interval
12. When reviewing the patients chart a provider reads Protein
that there is nephrotic sediment in the urine. This
means there is a large presence of
13. When reviewing the patients chart a provider reads Blood
that there is nephritic sediment in the urine. This
means there is a large presence of

14. What are two functions of surfactant in the lungs? -Keeps alveoli open and
free of fluid
-Decreases surface ten-
sion by blocking H2O and
H+ binding
15. If a patients has low plasma volume what is the nor- Thirst
mal physiological response?
16. Which nerve innervates the diaphragm? Phrenic nerve
17. Which lipid carried cholesterol to the tissues? LDL
18. What three areas does gas exchange occur? Bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveoli
19. Gas exchange airways are served by the C. Pulmonary circulation
A. Cardiac circulation
B. Venous circulation
C. Pulmonary circulation
20. Bronchi and other lung structures are served by the B. Pulmonary circulation
A. Cardiac circulation
B. Systemic circulation
C. Pulmonary circulation
21. Pulmonary circulation functions Facilitate gas exchange
Deliver nutrients to lung
tissue
Act as blood reservoir for L
ventricle
Filtering system
