NURSING 115 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY- PATHO
EXAM 1 WITH ALL CORRECT & VERIFIED
ANSWERS
In response to stress what does the hypothalamus secrete Correct answer-corticotropin releasing
hormone (CRH)
in response to corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), the anterior pituitary secretes Correct
answer-adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
in response to adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) the cortex of the adrenals secrete Correct
answer-cortisol
in response to ANS/SNS stimulation the adrenal medulla secrete Correct
answer-norepinephrine/epinephrine
stress stimulates CRH in the hypothalamus and activates the SNS/ANS system via the brain stem to
the Correct answer-locus ceruleus
Cortisol (stress) puts what on hold Correct answer-the GI tract, immunity and inflammation
adaptation in relation to stress is Correct answer-the ability to respond and return to homeostasis
the alarm in stress is Correct answer-body recognizes stressor and hypothalamus sets alarm
the resistance in stress is Correct answer-the resources the body has to fight stress
the exhaustion/recovery in stress is Correct answer-death/life
Eustress Correct answer-mild, brief controlled stress
Distress Correct answer-severe, uncontrolled stress
epinephrine and norepinephrine are what class of hormones Correct answer-catocholamines
alpha 1 adrenergic receptors do what Correct answer-increase glycolysis, muscle contraction
(including blood vessels)
alpha 2 adrenergic receptors do what Correct answer-release renin release from kidney
beta 1 adrenergic receptors do what Correct answer-stimulate lypolysis and increase
HR/contraction
beta 2 adrenergic receptors do what Correct answer-bronchodialation, hepatic gluconeogenesis,
glycogenolysis, and muscle glycogenolysis
cortisol promotes what in the liver Correct answer-glyconeogenesis- ensures glucose is available
during stress
what hormones respond to stress Correct answer-GH, TH, reproductive and ADH hormones
, signs/symptoms of stress Correct answer-inc. HR and BR, paleness, pupil dilation, clammy
chronic stress Correct answer-PTSD
intrusion in relation to stress Correct answer-flashbacks
avoidance in relation to stress Correct answer-standoffish, emotional avoidance
hyperarousal in relation to stress Correct answer-over irritablility, angry, physical
what is one question a nurse should ask a victim of stress Correct answer-did you experience,
witness, or confront (indirect experience) the event
radiation (thermoregulation) Correct answer-environment; cold environment= lose more body
heat
conduction (thermoregulation) Correct answer-touch; love heat though touch
convection (thermoregulation) Correct answer-wind movement; wind chill
evaporation (thermoregulation) Correct answer-sweat cools when evaporates
exogenous pyrogens Correct answer-fever producing agents (ex bacteria)
endogenous pyrogens Correct answer-made by the body after phagocytosis, cytokines (interleukin
6)
intermittent fever Correct answer-24 hr fever that returns to normal
Remittent fever Correct answer-Fluctuating, remains elevated and does not return to baseline
sustained fever Correct answer-fever that is constant or not fluctuating
recurring/relapsing fever Correct answer-goes away then comes back
prodrome (fever) Correct answer-headache, fatigue, malaise and pain (hypothalamus makes new
set point)
chill (fever) Correct answer-being shaky/chilled (reaching new set point)
flushed (fever) Correct answer-cutaneous vasodialation, warm skin and flushed (set point reached-
will go down from here)
defervescence (fever) Correct answer-hypothalmus lowers set point again, sweating; coming down
from fever
Function of ADH Correct answer-Stimulates the kidney tubules to reabsorb water from urine.
Increases Bp
