NURS 2063 Practice Exam Questions
with Answers
Etiology - ✔✔cause or reason for the event.
- May include agents, age, gender, health, nutritional status, genetics, etc.
Iatrogenic - ✔✔unintended effect of a medical treatment
Pathogenesis - ✔✔development and evolution of a disease
- Affected by time, quantity, location, and morphologic changes
Homeostasis - ✔✔- Dynamic process
- The relative consistency of the body's internal processes
- Give and take system
- Equilibrium is necessary for all cells
Cachexia - ✔✔- Extreme weight loss disorder
Benign tumor - ✔✔- Slow, progressive, localized, well defined, resembles host (more
differentiated), grows by expansion, does not usually cause death
Malignant tumor - ✔✔- Rapid growing, spreads (metastasis) quickly, fatal, highly
undifferentiated
Primary prevention - ✔✔do not have the disease and are trying to prevent it (vaccines)
Secondary Prevention - ✔✔Disease detection (yearly physical)
, Tertiary Prevention - ✔✔trying to prevent problems from the disease (rehab)
Function of the Mitochondria - ✔✔- Power plant
- Aerobic respiration, ATP
- Contains own DNA and ribosomes
Osmosis - ✔✔movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low
concentration to high concentration.
Diffusion - ✔✔net movement of anything from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration.
Edema - ✔✔- Heart failure, kidney failure, liver issues, thyroid disorders, blood clots, infections,
severe allergic reactions, certain medications
- Lack of albumin
Isotonic definition and examples - ✔✔- Equal solute to concentration. No fluid shift. Ex: 0.9%
Nacl or LR
Sensible water loss - ✔✔lose water through feces and urination, sweat
Insensible water loss - ✔✔vomiting and diarrhea
Extracellular fluid deficit with examples - ✔✔- Dehydration
- Hypovolemia or fluid volume deficit
- Decreased fluid in the intravascular space
- Can occur independently without electrolyte defects
