NUR 529 Exam 1 2026 | Most Tested Questions & Verified
Answers | Latest Update | Graded A+
1. Which of the following is characteristic on an infarct?
Microscopic changes in cell can be detected early after ischemic
death
Fibrinoid Necrosis
Occurs across a general area of vascular distribution
Affected tissue is vaguely demarcated
Typically wedge-shaped
2. If a community implements a lead abatement program, which population
should be prioritized for screening and intervention, and why?
Children, due to their higher absorption rates and vulnerability to
lead's effects.
Adults, because they are more likely to work in lead-related industries.
Pregnant women, since lead can affect fetal development.
Elderly, as they may have accumulated lead exposure over their
lifetime.
3. All infarcts are
oval-shaped
star-shaped
wedge-shaped
bean-shaped
diamond-shaped
,4. There are two criteria that have to be met in order for a diagnosis of an
infectious disease to occur. What are these two criteria?
Propagation of a microorganism outside the body and testing to see
what destroys it.
Identification by microscopic appearance and Gram stain reaction
Recovery of probable pathogen and documentation of signs and
symptoms compatible with an infectious process.
Serology and an antibody titer specific to the serology
5. If a patient has abnormal results from a pap smear, what would be the most
appropriate next step in their care?
Immediate surgery to remove the cervix.
A referral to a nutritionist for dietary advice.
No action is needed as abnormal results are common.
Further diagnostic testing, such as a colposcopy.
6. Describe the process of coagulation necrosis and its significance in disease
pathology.
Coagulation necrosis results in the complete breakdown of tissue and
loss of structure.
Coagulation necrosis involves the denaturation of proteins, leading
to the preservation of tissue architecture despite cell death.
Coagulation necrosis occurs only in bacterial infections.
Coagulation necrosis is characterized by the formation of new blood
vessels.
,7. Describe the key characteristics of culture as a diagnostic method.
Culture is primarily used for genetic testing of cells.
Culture involves isolating and identifying microorganisms from
samples, allowing for the determination of infections.
Culture is a method for assessing nutritional status.
Culture focuses on the physical examination of tissues.
8. Discuss how chronic stress can impact overall health and contribute to
disease.
Chronic stress can lead to various health problems, including
cardiovascular disease, anxiety disorders, and weakened immune
response.
Chronic stress improves immune function and overall health.
Chronic stress only affects mental health and has no physical health
implications.
Chronic stress is solely related to digestive issues.
9. What term describes the critical time frame during pregnancy when the
developing fetus is most susceptible to harmful influences?
Fetal development stage
Gestational age
Period of vulnerability
Prenatal phase
10. Describe the steps involved in the diagnostic process as outlined in
healthcare.
, The diagnostic process involves gathering patient history,
conducting physical examinations, ordering diagnostic tests, and
interpreting the results to arrive at a conclusion.
The diagnostic process includes only the physical examination of the
patient.
The diagnostic process is a one-step procedure that requires no
patient interaction.
The diagnostic process is solely based on laboratory test results.
11. Describe the stages involved in the evolution of a disease process as
outlined in the concept of pathogenesis.
Pathogenesis is solely about the symptoms of a disease.
Pathogenesis is unrelated to the immune response.
Pathogenesis only refers to genetic factors in disease.
Pathogenesis involves the initial infection, cellular response, and
progression of disease.
12. Which is an example of hormonal hyperplasia?
Callus formation
The endometrium following menses
The liver after a partial hepatectomy
Female breasts during puberty
13. Skeletal abnormalities commonly associated with Marfan syndrome include
which of the following?
Tall stature with long, thin arms and legs
Arachnodactyly
