Final Exam Review Part 1 Questions | 2026/2027 | Answers
Correct | With Complete Solutions
1. Acute Pericarditis
2. Atelectactis
3. Left sided heart failure
4. Lymphoma
5. Liver Disease Correct Answers Pleural effusion is a form of
edema - considering what you already know about the
mechanisms of edema complete the following matching of the
mechanism with a possible pathology/disease:
1. Increased Capillary Permeabiltiy
2. Increased Negative Intrapleural Pressure
3. Increased Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure
4. Impaired Lymphatic Drainage
5. Decreased Colloid Osmotic Pressure
1. Chemotaxis
2. Adherence/Opsinozation
3. Engulfment
4. Lysosome Activation and Fusion
5. Enzymes released by lysosomes Correct Answers Put the
steps of phagocytosis in the correct order
,1. compensatory of the left ventricle and the left atrium and a
panstolic heart murmur
2. elevated systolic and very low diastolic pressures, chest
discomfort due to "pounding of the heart against chest wall"
3. pulmonary congestion, decreased CO, and opening snap
following the second heart sound
4. thickened ventricular wall and loud systolic ejection murmur
Correct Answers 1. Mitral Valve Regurgitation
2. Aortic Regurgitation
3. Mitral Valve Stenosis
4. Aortic Stenosis
1. hypersensitivity response to a stimuli
2. bronchoconstriction/ spasms due to inflammatory mediators
3. increased vascular permeability due to inflammatory
mediators
4. increased mucus production Correct Answers Place the steps
in an asthmatic response in the correct order:
1. Intermittent
2. Remittent
3. Sustained
4. Recurrent Correct Answers Match the fever pattern with the
correct description
1. Temperature returns to normal at least once every 24 hours
,2. Temperature does not return to normal but varies a few
degrees in either direction
3. Temperature remains above normal with little variation
4. Episodes of fever lasting several days followed by 1 or more
days of normal temperature, and then the cycle begins again
1. malignant
2. malignant
3. benign
4. benign
5.malignant
6. malignant Correct Answers Identify each characteristic of
tumor as either Benign or Malignant
1. Tumor grows at the periphery, infiltrating the surrounding
tissue
2. Often causes generalized effects such as anemia, weakness,
and weight loss
3. Rate of growth is slow
4. Does not metastasize
5. May produce substances (degradative enzymes) that damage
cells
6. Cells are poorly differentiated and do not appear similar to the
normal cells from which they arose
, 1. most commonly originated in the bronchi
2. have the strongest link to smoking and often develop SIADH
3. have multiple types and early metastisis
4. most common lung cancer in women and non smokers
Correct Answers Match the characteristics of the specific type
of lung cancer with the correct cause or manifestation
1. Squamous cell carcinoma
2. Small cell carcinoma
3. Large cell carcinoma
4. Adenocarcinoma
1. patient B
2. Patient A
3. Patient D
4. patient C Correct Answers 4 patients received laboratory
results regarding their thyroid function and TSH level (10
points)
T3 T4 TSH
Patient A 550ng/dl 30mcg/dl 30 mcU/ml
Patient B 400ng/dl 20mcg/dl 10 mcU/ml
Patient C 40ng/dl 3mcg/dl 3mcU/ml
