Complete Test Bank for Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse, 2nd Edition. By Lucie Dlugasch, Lachel Story. (All Chapters Covered, Latest Edition, 100% Verified Answers) Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse, Second Edition is a comprehensive resource that serves as a bridge between clinical experience and the advanced knowledge necessary for the role of an APRN. It helps graduate students navigate the data and presentation of symptoms that must be considered when making a diagnosis and recommendation for treatment. This unique text includes expanded pathophysiology content across the life span and information to meet the needs of many advanced practice population areas, including pediatrics, psychiatric mental health, and gerontology. It also incorporates information from both an acute and primary care focus.The Second Edition was thoroughly updated to offer the latest information and data, including a new section on microbiology and infectious diseases with information on COVID-19, a new section on the endocannabinoid system, new information on genetic testing principles, several newly added psychiatric mental health disorders, and more timely topics. The practical approach to discussing the complex topic of pathophysiology sets Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse, Second Edition apart from other texts. With this resource, students will be better prepared to make sound clinical decisions in their APRN role no matter the setting. Features new cases, additional Diagnostics Links, and expanded discussions of prenatal genetic testing, pressure volume in cardiac cycle, influenza and pneumonia, pain transmission, and more.

,Chapter 1 Cellular Function


1. The nucleus , which is essential for function and survival of the
cell.

A) is the site of protein synthesis

B) contains the genetic code

C) transforms cellular energy

D) initiates aerobic metabolism


2. Although energy is not made in mitochondria, they are known as the power
plants of the cell because they:

A) contain RNA for protein synthesis.

B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.

C) extract energy from organic compounds.

D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.


3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a
lipid bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:

A) bound and transmembrane proteins.

B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.

C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.

D) a gating system of selective ion channels.


4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical
messenger systems that:

A) displace surface receptor proteins.

B) accumulate within cell gap junctions.

C) bind to contractile microfilaments.

, D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.


5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy
by:

A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.

B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.

C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.

D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.


6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in into the
extracellular fluid.

A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport

B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms

C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances

D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion


7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials
is:

A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.

B) millivoltage of electrical potential.

C) polarization of charged particles.

D) ion channel neurotransmission.


8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
and type of epithelial tissue?

A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not
extend to surface

B) Stratified epithelium: single layer of cells; all cells rest on basement
membrane
