NUR 529 EXAM 1 2026 FINAL PAPER FULL
QUESTION SET ACCURATE ANSWERS
CONFIRMED
◉ Bleeding associated with platelet disorders reflects:. Answer: decrease
in platelet number because of:
1. decreased production (bone marrow dysfunction)
2. increased destruction (thrombocytopenia)
3. impaired function of platelets (thrombocytopathia)
◉ Spontaneous bleeding from platelet disorders often involve. Answer:
small vessels of mucus membranes and skin:
mucus membranes of nose, mouth, GI tract, and uterine cavity
◉ petechiae is seen exclusively with. Answer: conditions of platelet
deficiency
**not platelet dysfunction
◉ thrombocytopenia. Answer: Platelet < 150,000
can result from:
1. decrease in platelet production
,2. increased sequestration of platelets in spleen
3. decreased platelet survival
◉ Four primary causes of anemia. Answer: 1. excessive loss of RBC
from bleeding
2. destruction (hemolysis) of RBC
3. Defective RBC production
4. Inadequate RBC production because of bone marrow failure
◉ characteristics of RBC in iron deficiency anemia. Answer: microcytic
and hypochromic
◉ characteristics of RBC in megablastic anemai. Answer: macrocytic
and misshaped
◉ characteristics of RBC in sickle cell disease. Answer: abnormally
shaped
◉ blood loss anemia is characterized by. Answer: loss of iron containing
blood cells in body
◉ hemolytic anemia is characterized by. Answer: destruction of RBC in
the body with iron being retained
, ◉ Reason for iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults. Answer:
inadequate iron available for recycling:
-men/postmenopausal women: GI bleed from peptic ulcer, vascular
lesions, intestinal polyps, hemorrhoids, or cancer
-women childbearing age: menstruation
-pregnant women: fetal development increases iron requirements for
erythropoiesis
◉ Reason for IDA in children. Answer: blood volume increases with
greater need for iron (proportionally higher in infancy between 3-24
months):
low iron levels at birth because of maternal deficiency and a diet
consisting mainly of cow's milk (low in absorbable iron)
◉ Clinical Course of Infectious Mononucleosis. Answer: -onset is
insidious
-incubation period (from exposure to the development of symptoms) 4-6
weeks
-prodromal period (early stage/symptom presentation) lasts for several
days and characterized by malaise, anorexia, and chills--> precedes
onset of fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy
-acute phase lasts 2-3 weeks with recovery occurring rapidly
-debility and lethargy may persist for 2-3 months
