Nightingale Pathophysiology Midterm
cystic fibrosis - ANS-The nurse is caring for a patient with a genetic disease that is transmitted
through autosomal recessive inheritance. Which is the most likely diagnoses for this patient?
protect cells from injury - ANS-Adaptive cellular mechanisms function to:
brain - ANS-If a patient has liquefactive necrosis, which organ should the nurse asses first?
Huntington's disease - ANS-The nurse in the genetics clinic is describing a genetic disease that
leads to progressive dementia in the middle to later adulthood. To which disease is the nurse
most likely referring?
Codon - ANS-The triplet of base pairs necessary to code for a specific amino acid is called a:
Phenotype - ANS-The outward manifestation of a disease, often influenced by both genes and
the environment, is called the disease:
A "monosomy" - ANS-The condition that occurs when a zygote is missing in each cell is referred
to as:
Transcription - ANS-The process by which RNA is formed from DNA for protein synthesis as:
An euploid cell - ANS-The somatic cell that contains a multiple of 23 chromosomes is called:
Protein synthesis - ANS-Which is the chief function of ribosomes?
Tay-Sachs disease - ANS-A disease results in accumulation of lipids in the nerve cells of the
brain:
A decrease in cell size - ANS-Cell atrophy is:
Apoptosis - ANS-The process by which cells program themselves to die:
Cell injury from noxious stimuli - ANS-Which causes meta plasma in humans?
Algor Mortis - ANS-The postmortem decrease in a patient's body temperature will be
documented as:
cell secretions - ANS-Dysplasia is characterized by abnormal changes in:
chromosomal breakage - ANS-Clastogens are agents that cause
, Liver - ANS-Which organ is most frequently affected by chronic alcohol (ethanol) injury?
Gunshot wounds - ANS-The nurse documents "tattooing and stippling" in a trauma patient.
Which type of injury does the patient have?
an avulsion - ANS-When a patient has an extreme laceration (laceration with a flap), which
medical term should the nurse document on the chart?
T and B lymphocytes - ANS-A patient with a combined immune deficiency lacks:
arthralgia, anemia, and rash. - ANS-When assessing the patient with SLE, the nurse should
expect to identify:
Type 1 - ANS-Your patient is having a reaction to a bee sting. Which type of hypersensitivity are
they displaying?
neutrophils and macrophages - ANS-The major phagocytic cells in inflammation are:
It controls clotting by breaking down fibrin - ANS-What is the role of plasmin in the inflammatory
response cycle?
skin and mucous membranes - ANS-Among the many innate defenses the body has to
pathogens, the first line of defense is the:
Interferon - ANS-Which substance is released during a viral infection and signals neighboring
cells to enhance viral defenses?
Engulfment - ANS-What term is used to describe the process of endocytosis?
Thymus - ANS-DiGeorge syndrome is characterized by absence or underdevelopment of which
organ?
Women 20-40 years old - ANS-You are planning a community teaching event about systemic
lupus eruthematosus (SLE). To which population should your teaching primarily target?
Both parents could be carriers - ANS-A couple has two offspring; one child has an autosomal
recessive disease trait and one is normal. What most likely conclusions can the nurse make
about the parents?
Lipids in the nerve cells of the brain - ANS-When teaching staff Tay-Sachs disease, which
information should the nurse include? Tay-Sachs disease results in the accumulation of:
