NR283 / NR 283 Exam 1 (Latest Update 2026/2027) Pathophysiology Exam Questions and Verified Answers | 100% Correct | Graded A+ - Chamberlain Which statement is the most inclusive definition of a risk factor? Something that increases a person's chances of developing a disease Pollutants in the environment A genetic alteration which can negatively impact someone's health Choices someone makes about how they live their life Something that increases a person's chances of developing a disease _______ are the signals that indicate homeostasis has been lost Clinical manifestations Acid-base balance, oxygenation, genetic mutations, and fluid balance are all examples of which type of cue? Internal environmental cue What benefits are gained by asking questions when someone has clinical manifestations of altered homeostasis? Select all that apply. Evidence is located. Data is collected. Insight is provided. Assumptions are challenged. A single right answer is confirmed. Evidence is located. Data is collected. Insight is provided. Assumptions are challenged. Tests on blood & other bodily fluids such as urine are used to measure ____ amount of a substance present Based on the cues, which specific body system is involved in the relative's illness? Select all that apply. Renal Sensory Endocrine Integumentary Pulmonary Pulmonary *In this case, symptoms are occurring in a specific location (both the sore throat and cough with sputum are part of the pulmonary system). The relative is also showing cues that are not specific to one body system (fever and body aches). The pathophysiological processes involved are immunity, infection, inflammation, and pain. A young adult stepped on a rusty nail last evening. After removing the nail and cleaning the wound, they applied a bandage and went to sleep. This morning the skin around the bandage is red, warm, painful, and oozing a thick, yellow drainage. Based on the cues, which specific body system is most directly involved? Neurologic Cardiovascular Genitourinary Musculoskeletal Musculoskeletal Tests on tissue or cells collected from biopsies or body secretions are examined for _____ Abnormalities A relative calls and tells you they are not feeling well. They have a fever, sore throat, body aches, and a cough with thick sputum. The study of Genomes: Genomics This term represents all of your DNA Genome Sickle cell anemia is which type of disorder? Autosomal-recessive X-linked dominant Nutritional Chromosomal Autosomal-recessive Individuals who express which genetic feature, female or male, are more likely to experience X-linked diseases? Females Occur rarely in both females and males Equally likely for females and males Males Males *Individuals who are genetically male (XY) are most likely to develop X-linked diseases that carry a dominant gene on the X-chromosome where there is no backup gene on the Y chromosome. What is the main purpose of the Human Genome Project? Manipulate the sequence of DNA in microorganisms and animals. Map the nucleotide sequence and identify the genes on each human chromosome. Study the common patterns of inheritance of single-gene disorders. Identify spontaneous alterations in genetic material caused by teratogens. Map the nucleotide sequence and identify the genes on each human chromosome. In which ways are genomics transforming the world? Select all that apply. DNA sequencing Common genetic diseases
