NR 507 Week 8 Final Updated
Questions with Excellent
Answers Guaranteed Pass
active immunity - Answer -immunity produced by exposure to an antigen, as a result of the
immune response
adaptive immunity - Answer -the ability to recognize and remember specific antigens and mount
an attack on them
agnosia - Answer -Often there is a loss of ability to recognize objects, persons, sounds, shapes, or
smells while the specific sense is not defective nor is there any significant memory loss. Agnosia only
affects a single modality, such as vision or hearing.
allergy desensitization - Answer --Injections of small doses of the offending antigen are given 1x-
2x/week for an extended period of time
-Induces IgG, upon encounter with allergen, IgG binds antigen before it can bind IgE-mast cell
-Mast cell and basophils become decreasingly sensitive as less IgE is made
anemia of chronic renal failure - Answer -Failure of the renal endocrine function impairs
erythropoietin production and bone marrow compensation
appendicular skeleton - Answer -Bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to the axial
skeleton
body's process for adapting to high hormone levels - Answer -negative feedback system occurs
telling the endocrine system to stop secreting hormones because there are enough hormones in the
bloodstream
BPH effects on bladder/urethra - Answer -1.Urethra is "choked" --> urinary problems
2.Bladder wall becomes thicker --> irregular contraction
capillary oncotic pressure - Answer -osmotically attracts water from the interstitial space back into
the capillary
cause of tactile fremitus - Answer -dense or inflamed lung tissue from disease like pneumonia
causes of aplastic anemia - Answer -radiation, drugs, hepatitis, HIV genetic disorders
fanconi's anemia
, neoplastic infiltration of bone marrow
causes of dysfunctional uterine bleeding - Answer -can be due to structural (polyp, malignancies
and hyperplasia) or non structural causes (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfuction, endometrial
causes of hypernatremia - Answer -Decreased sodium excretion (corticosteroids, Cushing's
Syndrome, Renal failure, Hyperaldosterone)
Increased sodium intake (excessive oral soidium ingestion or administration of sodium containing IV
fluids)
Decreased water intake (NPO)
Increased water loss (increased rate of metabolism, fever, hyperventilation, infection, excessive
diaphoresis, watery diarrhea, diabetes insipidus)
Causes of hypoparathyroidism - Answer -Autoimmune damage to parathyroids, surgical excision,
DiGeorge syndrome
causes of hypovolemic shock - Answer -* Diarrhea
* vomiting
* hemorrhage (internal and external)
* inadequate fluid intake
* osmotic diuresis
* third-space losses
* large burns
causes of iron deficiency anemia - Answer -Ulcers, menstrual bleeding, left colon cancer, elderly
and poor children, malabsorption, gastrectomy, hookworm, Plummer-Vinson
Causes of respiratory acidosis - Answer -- aspiration, atelectasis, abdominal distention, drug
overdose, CNS disease, pleural/lung disease, trauma
-Tx: spirometry, deep breathing, pain control, ventilation
Characteristics associated with PCOS - Answer --metabolic dysfunction
- dyslipidemia
- insulin resistance
- obesity
