This expertly curated document includes over 100 high-yield questions and answers from Exam 1 of the NURS 6111 course, covering essential foundational content in pathophysiology, genetics, fluid/electrolyte balance, acid-base regulation, immune function, and pediatric disease processes. All answers are verified and the content is graded A+, aligned with 2025/2026 standards in advanced nursing education. The material begins with comprehensive lab value reviews and electrolyte imbalances, followed by detailed explanations of acid-base disorders, buffer systems, and mechanisms of cellular injury such as oxidative stress, hypoxia, and free radical damage. It also examines inflammatory response, roles of neutrophils, macrophages, T and B cells, and immune dysfunctions like autoimmune diseases (e.g., SLE, Sjögren’s, RA, Graves, MS) and primary immune deficiencies. The document offers thorough explanations of genetic inheritance patterns including autosomal dominant and recessive, X-linked disorders, and syndromes such as Turner, Klinefelter, Fragile X, Tay-Sachs, Marfan, and Prader-Willi. It also explores childhood cancers (e.g., neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma), chromosomal abnormalities, and congenital syndromes. Special emphasis is placed on HIV/AIDS pathophysiology, stages, diagnostics (ELISA, Western Blot, PCR), associated malignancies, and opportunistic infections. Real-world clinical decision-making is reinforced with examples involving SIADH, SIDS, NEC, RDS, and fluid regulation mechanisms. This review is especially valuable for nurse practitioner students, graduate nursing learners, and those in pathophysiology or health assessment-focused programs preparing for cumulative exams or certification boards. Keywords: electrolyte imbalances, lab values, acid-base balance, buffer systems, immune response, autoimmune diseases, HIV staging, pediatric cancers, genetic disorders, fluid regulation, pathophysiology, cell injury, inflammation, hypersensitivity reactions, congenital conditions, SIADH, NURS 6111, nurse practitioner review, clinical diagnostics

Guaranteed Success | Already Rated A+



Na normal lab value - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔135-145


K normal lab value - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔3.5-5.0


Mg normal lab value - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1.3-2.1 mEq/L


Calcium normal lab value - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔8.5-10.5 mg/dL


Abnormal signs and symptoms of K - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔excessive thirst,

increased urination, muscle cramps, fatigue/weakness, irregular heartbeat,

constipation, abdominal cramping


Abnormal signs and symptoms of Mg - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔muscle cramps,

fatigue/weakness, abnormal heart rhythm, numbness/tingling, mental

symptoms, insomnia

,Acid-base buffer systems minimize pH changes by - 🧠 ANSWER

✔✔converting a strong acid or base to a weak one


Types of hypersensitivity reactions - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Type 1:

Immunoglobulin IgE mediated reactions(allergic reaction), rapid time frame,

ex peanut allergy

Type 2: tissue specific, activates complement cascade/phagocytosis, body

attacks healthy RBC thinking they are foreign, ex graves, hep induced

thrombocytopenia

Type 3: immune complexes formed in circulation and deposited into cell

wall and cause tissue damage , ex is rayanuds

Type 4: delayed sensitivity, only type that is mediated by T lymphocytes

and do not involve antibodies, ex contact sensitivity to poison ivy, latex,

mycobacterial infection


Prematurity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔baby born before 37 weeks gestation,

causes: maternal age, multiple pregnancies, uterine or cervical

abnormalities, infections/chronic conditions. Clinical findings of premature

babies: low birth weight, jaundice, feeding difficulties

, RDS (respiratory distress syndrome) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔babies born before

28 weeks, caused by lack of surfactant, characterized by shallow rapid

breathing(grunting), males are more prone


NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔babies born before 32

weeks, caused by damage and inflammation to intestinal tissues,

characterized by bloody stools and distended abdomen. Risk factors: low

birth weight, formula feedings


SIDS(sudden infant death syndrome) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔common between

1-4 months of age, most frequent death for child 2 weeks-1 year, can occur

from sleeping on soft surface, occurs in boys more often than girls


Prader-Willi Syndrome - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Caused by a lack of genetic

material in the 15 pair of chromosomes. Usually inherited from the father.

The leading genetic cause of obesity. The degree of mental retardation

varies, but is usually in the mild range. Students with Prader-Willi syndrome

can be rigid and oppositional. They do not respond well to sudden changes

in their routine. It can also result in low muscle tone, short stature,

incomplete sexual development, cognitive disabilities, problem behaviors,

and a chronic feeling of hunger that can lead to excessive eating and life-

threatening obesity.
