NSG 530 Advanced Pathophysiology 2027 Exam 1 Complete
Questions and 100% Correct Answers (Verified Pass)
Question 1.
Chapter 1: Introduction to Pathophysiology
Question 2.
Risk
Correct Answer: Factor that when present increases the chance of disease Not
stressors, but conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of
encountering a stressor
Question 3.
Prevalence
Correct Answer: A measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's
likelihood of having a disease. Therefore, the number of prevalent cases is the
total number of cases of disease existing in a population. A prevalence rate is
the total number of cases of a disease existing in a population divided by the
total population Indicates how widespread the disease is
Question 4.
Incidence
Correct Answer: A measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's
probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time.
Therefore, incidence is the number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease. An
incidence rate is the number of new cases of a disease divided by the number
of persons at risk for the disease. Conveys information about the risk of
contracting the disease.
Question 5.
Ratio
Correct Answer: The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the
number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.
Question 6.
Primary Prevention
Correct Answer: Altering susceptibility or reducing exposure for susceptible
persons *Both illness and disease are absent
example: vaccinations, healthy lifestyles
,Question 7.
Secondary Prevention
Correct Answer: Early detection, screening, and management of disease
*Illness absent, disease present example: screenings and testings
Question 8.
Tertiary Prevention
Correct Answer: Rehabilitation, supportive care, reducing disability, and
restoring effective functioning *Both illness and disease present
example: education
Question 9.
Epidemiology
Correct Answer: study of the patterns of disease involving populations;
examining the occurrence, incidence, prevalence, transmission, and
distribution of diseases in large groups of populations/people
Question 10.
Endemic
Correct Answer: A disease theat is native to a local region
Question 11.
Epidemic
Correct Answer: When a disease is disseninated to many individals at the
same time (spread to many people at the same time)
Question 12.
Pandemic
Correct Answer: Epidemics that affect large geographic regions, perhaps
spreading worldwide. (spread to large geographic areas)
Question 13.
*Chapter 2: Homeostasis and Adaptive Responses to Stressors*
Correct Answer:
Question 14.
Homeostasis
, Correct Answer: A state of being in which all systems are in balance around a
articular ideal "set-point"
Question 15.
Exhausation
Correct Answer: Point where body can no longer return to homeostasis
following a prolonged exposure to noxious agents
Question 16.
Allostatic Overload
Correct Answer: "Cost" of body's organs and tissues for an excessive or
ineffectively regulated allostatic response; effect of "wear and tear" on the
body
Question 17.
Adaptation
Correct Answer: Adaptation: biopsychosocial process of change in response to
new or altered circumstances, internal or external in origin Coping: behavioral
adaptive response to a stressor using culturally based coping mechanisms
Adaptation and coping: terms used interchangeably
Question 18.
Arousal
Correct Answer: Includes alterations in responsiveness to homeostatic
pressures, sensory stimuli and emotional reactivity, and to changes in motor
activity
Question 19.
Function of Cortisol
Correct Answer: Primary glucocorticoid Affects protein metabolism Promotes
appetite and food-seeking behaviors Has anti-inflammatory effects Chemical
mediator in the inflammation response of the body
Adrenal corticosteroid critical to maintenance of homeostasis May synergize
or antagonize effects of catecholamines
