A decrease in workload, use, pressure, or blood supply appropriately describes:
A. physiologic atrophy.
B. pathologic atrophy.
C. hypertrophy.
D. hyperplasia. –
Correct Answer :B. pathologic atrophy.
Pathologic atrophy is a decrease in cell size due to decreased use. Physiologic
atrophy usually occurs early in development; for example, the thymus gland
atrophies during childhood. Hypertrophy is an increase in cell size. Hyperplasia is
an increase in the number of cells.

The appropriate term for the reversible replacement of one mature cell by
another is:
A. metaplasia.
B. hyperplasia.
C. dysplasia.
D. atypical hyperplasia. –
Correct Answer :A. metaplasia.
The term metaplasia refers to one cell type being replaced by another.
Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells, not a change in their type.
Dysplasia, also referred to as atypical hyperplasia, refers to abnormal changes in
the size, shape, and organization of cells.
A patient with a collection of blood located between the skull and the dura is
diagnosed with a condition referred to as a(n):
A. epidural hematoma.
B. contusion.
C. subdural hematoma.
D. abrasion. –
Correct Answer :A. epidural hematoma
An epidural hematoma is a collection of blood between the inner surface of the
skull and the dura. A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the
surface of the dura and the brain. A contusion is a bruise or bleeding into the

skin and underlying tissue. Abrasion is a scrape caused by removal of the
superficial layers of the skin.
A tear or rip of the skin with a jagged and irregular edge is described as a(n):
A. abrasion.
B. incision.
C. laceration.
D. avulsion. –
Correct Answer :C. laceration.
Lacerations occur when the tensile strength of the skin is exceeded. An incision
is a precise cut with an instrument that leaves regular clean edges. In a
laceration, edges are often jagged and irregular. An abrasion results from the
removal of the superficial layers of the skin caused by friction between the skin
and the injuring object. An avulsion is an injury in which an area of tissue is pulled
away, creating a flap.
A characteristic of a stab wound includes:
A. the injury is deeper than it is long.
B. the injury is longer than it is deep.
C. there is a broken bone.
D. there is significant crush injury. –
Correct Answer :A. the injury is deeper than it is long.
A+ TEST BANK 3
, MSN 570 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The injury is deeper than it is long. There is little crush injury because the object
used is sharp and it makes a clean entrance. An injury that is longer than it is
deep is considered an incised wound. A broken bone is a fracture.
The appropriate term for fragments of burning or unburned pieces of
gunpowder that are embedded in the epidermis is:
A. exit wound.
B. stippling.
C. blowback.
D. tattooing. –
Correct Answer :B
Tattooing results from fragments of burning or unburned pieces of gunpowder
exiting the barrel and striking the skin surface with enough force to be driven
into the epidermis. Stippling results when fragments of gunpowder strike the
skin with enough force to abrade the skin but not actually penetrate the surface.
An exit wound is where the bullet exits the body. Blowback is disruption of the
tissues resulting in a large, gaping, and jagged appearance to the wound.
Which term describes oxygen failing to reach the blood?
A. Suffocation
B. Strangulation
C. Drowning
