NURS 6501 ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FINAL TEST EXAM 2024 WITH QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS|WALDEN UNIVERSITY| A+ GRADE
1. In infectious mononucleosis (IM), what does the monospot test detect?: Im- munoglobulin M (IgM)
@#$%^&*()_+
Monospot also referred to as the mononuclear spot is referred to as the type of heterophile test of antibodies that swiftly
identifies the disease. It is usually based on the mononucleosis which is infectious. The heterophile specific antibodies are
usually generated in the bodies of human beings for detection the infections in the body. The immunoglobulin are produce
by the leucocytes and are usually in form of immunoglobulin molecules.
2. which cells function to maintain bone matrix?: Osteocytes
They are mature cells of the bone that did differentiate from osteoblasts and have the responsibility of maintaining the
matrix of the bone. They are able to breakdown and synthesize the matrix hence able to maintain homeostasis.
3. Prenatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) can result in which type of cancer?: Vaginal Cancer
Prenatal Exposure to Diethylstilbestrol is known to cause certain Vaginal Cancers.
It is also known to cause certain genital tract abnormalities and infertility when compared to people who are not exposed.
4. Which statement by the professor best describes acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)?: A pulmonary disease
characterized by severe hypoxemia, decreased pulmonary compliance and the presence of bilateral infiltrates on chest X-
ray imaging
5. A patient has been hospitalized for a large deep vein thrombosis and states he is the third person in his family to have
this condition in the last 2 years. What response by the healthcare professional is most appropriate?: we can test your
blood for factor V Leiden.
actor V Leiden is the most common hereditary thrombophilia and is caused by
a single nucleotide mutation of guanine to adenine at nucleotide 1691 (G1691A). Because it is autosomal dominant, it is
not limited to one sex. The majority of patients with this condition do not have clinically significant episodes. Blood-
thinning drugs are commonly prescribed by doctors to persons who form atypical blood clots. People who have the factor
V Leiden mutation but haven't had any abnormal blood clots normally don't need this type of medication. If you have the
factor V Leiden mutation and are having surgery, your doctor may advise you to take extra precautions to avoid blood
clots.
6. The healthcare professor states that a patient had reached pain tolerance. What further information from the professor
is most accurate?: The patient cannot endure a higher level of pain intensity at this point.
This is the amount of pain an individual can tolerate or handle.
, An individual with a high pain tolerance is someone who can handle greater amount of pain.
7. A healthcare professional is teaching a community group about inherited disorders. What pattern of inheritance does
the professional describe for sickle cell disease?: Inherited autosomal recessive disorder
This disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that both copies of the gene in each cell are
mutated.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in both copies of the HBB gene in an individual. This
gene encodes a component of hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in red blood cells. Because of the mutation,
hemoglobin molecules stick together, resulting in sickle-shaped red blood cells.
8. What is the link between major depression and cortisol secretion?: Individu- als with depression show that persistently
elevated plasma cortisol levels can result in inflammation that is believed to trigger depression.
Chronic cortisol release in the body induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in
immunosuppression and inflammation.People who suffer from depression have lower levels of serotonin in their brains and
higher levels of cortisol in their circulation.
9. A healthcare professional is planning a community event to reduce risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in high
risk groups. Which group would the professional target as the priority?: Hypertension
10. A woman has been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome but is confused because her pelvic ultrasound (US)
was read as normal and did not show cysts. What response by the health care professional is most appropri- ate?: You do
not need to have cysts on your ovaries to have this condition. Androgen excess, sonographic evidence of polycystic
ovaries and chronic anovu- lation are the three criteria used to diagnose PCOS. The mature egg may or not contain cysts,
but she might still be identified with this illness if she meets two sets of the 3 criteria. There is no need for a follow-up
ultrasound or other diagnostic tests if the lady fits the other two requirements.
11. A child has iron deficiency anemia. In addition to iron supplements, what else does the healthcare professional
educate the parents on giving the child?: Vitamin C
12. A person has been diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia ALL that is positive for the Philadelphia chromosome.
what statement by the healthcare professional is most appropriate?: we are planning to get your disease in remis- sion, but
it will be hard.
According to research ,The Philadelphia chromosome, is seen in about 20 % to 30 %
