A "monosomy" - ANS-The condition that occurs when a zygote is missing in each cell is referred
to as:
A decrease in cell size - ANS-Cell atrophy is:
A herniated disk allows the gelatinous material (the nucleus pulposus) to: - ANS-extrude and
compress the nerve root
A nurse is describing the pathophysiology of a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Which
information should the nurse include? - ANS-Impaired reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid
occurs.
The blood clogs arachnoid granulations/villi (impairing CSF reabsorption).
A nurse is describing the process in which a piece of one chromosome is moved to another
chromosome. What term should the nurse use to describe this process? - ANS-translocation
A nurse is explaining variant genes to a group of nursing students. When discussing the
retinoblastoma gene, what type of gene is the nurse describing? - ANS-tumor suppressor gene
A nurse recalls that adaptive cellular mechanisms function is to: - ANS-Protect cells from injury
A nurse wants to teach about the most common primary immune deficiency condition. Which of
the following should the nurse describe? - ANS-Common variable immune deficiency
A patient asks a nurse what leukotrienes do. Which of the following is the best answer? -
ANS-Cause increased vascular permeability
A patient has a complement deficiency of C5 and C7. The nurse should monitor this patient for
infections caused by: - ANS-Neisseria
A patient has a recent spinal cord injury. Which term should the nurse use to describe the loss
of reflex function below the level of injury/lesion? - ANS-spinal shock
A patient has a spinal cord tumor that originated within the neural tissue. What type of tumor is
this called? - ANS-Intramedullary
A patient has a spinal cord tumor that originates within the neural tissues. What type of tumor is
this called? - ANS-Intramedullary

A patient is preparing to receive adjuvant therapy for cancer. What should the nurse tell the
patient to reinforce teaching? This type of therapy: - ANS-is given after cancer surgery
A patient ruptured the middle meningeal artery, resulting in an epidural hemorrhage. The nurse
realizes that in this type of intracranial hemorrhage; the bleeding occurs between the dura mater
and the: - ANS-skull.
By definition, an epidural hemorrhage is located outside ("epi" in Latin means "on top of") the
dura mater. An epidural hemorrhage occurs between the dura mater and the skull.
A patient with a spinal cord injury (T6 level) reports a headache. The patients blood pressure is
296 systolic, and the patient is sweating. Which intervention is most appropriate? - ANS-Check
the patient's bladder.
A patient with a vertebral disorder that involves structural defect (often hereditary) that causes
forward displacement of the affected vertebra. Which diagnoses will the nurse observe
documented on the chat? - ANS-Spondylolysis
A patient with cancer has poor muscle functioning and fatigue. Which cytokines/inflammatory
mediators does the nurse suspect is causing these problems? - ANS-tumor necrosis factor and
interleukin-1
A patient with cancer sustains an excessive amount of tumor necrosis factor alpha. For which
condition should the nurse be particularly alert? - ANS-cachexia
A sign associated with classic cerebral concussion is: - ANS-loss of consciousness
Algor Mortis - ANS-The postmortem decrease in a patient's body temperature will be
documented as:
All of the above (Low birth weight, mental retardation, facial abnormalities) - ANS-When an
infant has been identified as having fetal exposure to alcohol, which assessment parameters
should be considered?
ALS is caused by - ANS-Degeneration if myelin in the brain and spinal cord
ALS is caused by: - ANS-degeneration of lower and upper motor neurons
an avulsion - ANS-When a patient has an extreme laceration (laceration with a flap), which
medical term should the nurse document on the chart?
An euploid cell - ANS-The somatic cell that contains a multiple of 23 chromosomes is called:
