NURS 6030 Exam 2 Questions With Complete Solutions
acute blood loss anemia Correct Answers normocytic and
normochromic RBCs, just low number.
decreased BP, increased HR
acute stage Correct Answers symptoms of the disease are
maximal and the person is obviously ill.
adaptive immunity Correct Answers specific immunity;
acquired ability to recognize and destroy a pathogen or its
products. Requires exposure of the immune system to the
pathogen.
humoral (b cell) or cellular (t cell).
slower, includes memory cells.
agranulocytosis Correct Answers virtual absence of
neutrophils.
caused by radiation or sepsis.
AIDS affects... Correct Answers lymphoid areas and cells first,
then CD4 cells decline.

Rx: bone marrow/stem cell transplant, immunosuppressive
drugs.
autoimmunity Correct Answers complex disorders that don't
have a single source.
inherit "susceptibility genes"; change in gene expression rather
than sequence.
