NURS 611 Exam Questions and Answers
Graded A+
immunoglobulin associated with asthma - Correct answer-IgE
causes of pre-renal AKI - Correct answer-hypo-perfusion
BUN is higher than plasma creatinine since urea is still reabsorbed
no damage to the kidneys, reversible
ex: dehydration, severe blood loss, heart failure, cirrhosis, sepsis
a patient has HTN and CKD, spilling out albumin out but have a normal GFR,
what kidney failure stage are they in? - Correct answer-CKD stage 1
characteristics of PCOS - Correct answer-no single factor to cause
most common cause of anovulation, ovulatory dysfunction, and infertility
excess androgens
ovarian follicles do not develop normally
insulin resistance --> glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinemia result

, -aggravate the hyperandrogenic state
endometriosis - Correct answer-ectopic functional endometrial tissue
-responds to hormonal fluctuations
common sites: pelvic peritoneum, ovaries
symptoms may vary but commonly include pain and infertility
responds to the hormones of the normal menstrual cycle except that the ectopic
tissue does not respond to progesterone --> bleeding occurs ectopically -->
inflammatory cascade activation --> can end up with fibrotic changes and scarring
causing adhesions, infertility, and pain
HPV - Correct answer-known to cause cervical cancer
transmission via contact of surfaces of infected tissues or fluids after epithelial
trauma --> basal cells of the epithelium are infected --> the HPV virus uses the
cell's nuclear DNA to either cause increased growth that is noncancerous (warts) or
uncontrolled growth (cancer)
some can clear the infection, others cannot
smoking increases risks of persistent infection and later development of cervical
cancer
