This Document Description:
Tested questions with rationales from the
NUR 5461 Module 1 Quiz at William
Paterson University.
Covers Advanced Pathophysiology core
concepts.
Reflects actual quiz format. Ideal for exam preparation
and concept mastery.
, 1.1 Which are systemic effects of inflammation?
A. Redness, heat, swelling, and pain
B. Feṿer, leukocytosis, and increased leṿels of plasma proteins
C. Necrosis, apoptosis, and fibrosis
D. Thrombosis, embolism, and ischemia
Answer: B. Feṿer, leukocytosis, and increased leṿels of plasma proteins
Expert Rationale:
Systemic (whole-body) manifestations of inflammation include feṿer, leukocytosis,
and increased acute-phase plasma proteins (e.g., CRP, fibrinogen). Redness and
swelling are local signs, not systemic.
1.2 Which are characteristics of cachexia?
A. Weight gain and increased appetite
B. Early satiety and altered metabolism
C. Fluid retention and hypertension
D. Bradycardia and hypothermia
Answer: B. Early satiety and altered metabolism
Expert Rationale:
Cancer-related cachexia is marked by early satiety, profound weight loss, and
altered metabolism (increased energy expenditure, muscle wasting) despite
adequate intake. It is not simply decreased intake or fluid retention.
1.3 What antibody binds to a mast cell?
A. IgG
B. IgM
C. Cytotropic IgE
D. IgA
Answer: C. Cytotropic IgE
