NSG 533 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (2024) (VERIFIED
ANSWERS BY EXPERT)
Pathophysiology - Answer ✔✔ - the study of human physiologic dysfunction in disease
etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and outcomes - Answer ✔✔ - What
are the five components of disease?
epidemiology - Answer ✔✔ - risk factors and distribution in populations
etiology - Answer ✔✔ - causative mechanisms
pathogenesis - Answer ✔✔ - disease mechanisms
clinical manifestations - Answer ✔✔ - signs, symptoms and diagnostic criteria
outcomes - Answer ✔✔ - cure, remission, chronicity, or death
etiology - Answer ✔✔ - The "why" of the disease, what is the reason for it. May be complex or
straight forward
idiopathic - Answer ✔✔ - also called cryptogenic, known in cause or origin
iatrogenic - Answer ✔✔ - occurs as a results of a medical or surgical intervention (e.g. yeast
infection after getting antibiotics)
, epidemiology - Answer ✔✔ - this looks at the patterns of disease among groups or populations.
this complement represents the relationship between numerous population characteristics and
looks at the incidence or prevalence of diease
incidence - Answer ✔✔ - the number of new cases occurring in a given population with a given
time period - usually a year. can be expressed as a percentage
prevalence - Answer ✔✔ - involves the number of cases existing (both old and new) at a given
time period. Can be expressed as a percentage
pathogenesis - Answer ✔✔ - involves the sequence of events that occurs between the stimulus
events and the manifestations of the disease.
clinical manifestations - Answer ✔✔ - it is what tells an individual and their HCP that something is
wrong. Also called "signs and symptoms'
primary prevention - Answer ✔✔ - directed towards preventing the initial occurrence of a
disorder
Secondary and tertiary prevention - Answer ✔✔ - (2 terms) these seek to arrest or retard existing
disease and its effect through early detection and appropriate treatment - or to reduce the
occurrence of relapses and the establishment of chronic conditions
at the cellular or sub-cellular level - Answer ✔✔ - Where does all disease begin?
lethal (irreversible) and non-lethal (reversible) - Answer ✔✔ - What are the two types of cell
injury?
ATP depletion, oxygen and oxygen-derived free radicals, intercellular calcium and loss of calcium
steady state, and defects in membrane permeability - Answer ✔✔ - What are the four categories of
stressors that cause disease?
