Patho Pharm Final Exam (UWM)
Questions with Accurate Answers
Abdominal aoritic aneruysm correct answer -arise distal to the origin of the renal
arteries
-caused mostly by atherosclerosis
Abnormalities associated with ARF and CRF correct answer Extracellular volume
overload (can't pee)
Hyponatremia (can't pee)
Hyperkalemia (can't pee)
metabolic acidosis (can't pee- waste creat/BUN build up and waste is acidic)
Acetaminophen(tylenol) correct answer MOA: reduce fever by direct action at
level of hypothalamus and dilation fo peripheral blood vessels
enables sweating and dissipation of heat
NOT an Anti inflammatory agent
can be used to treat mild pain
avoid in patients with impaired liver function
Acetlycysteine(mucomyst) correct answer drug used for tyenol overdose, given as
continuous IV infusion
Acitometaphen (tyenol) correct answer -avoid in people with impaired liver
function
-a mild analgesic
,-NOT AN ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUG
Action potential correct answer -requires energy
-sodium rushes into the cell
-potassium rushed out of the cell
action potential correct answer begins when sodium ion channels open and
soidum rushes into the cell
-calcium also enters the cell, slower then sodium
-the large concentration of calcium is responsible for muscle contraction
Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) correct answer -an immune complex disease
most commonly induced by prior gropu A beta-hemolytic strep infection
manifestations:
edema, hypertension, oliguria
Acute pain correct answer self limiting and lasts less then 6 months
signs and symptoms can look like "fight or flight" responses
Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) correct answer -medical condition involving the
destruction of tubular epithelial cells tha form the renal tubes of the kidneys
-can be caused by over use of NSAIDS
,-Most common cause: Renal Hypoperfusion
Adenosine correct answer -terminates serious atrial tachy
-slows conduction through the AV node
-decreases automaticity of the SA node
-pharmacological way to reset the SA node
Adverse ACE-I effects correct answer -persistent dry cough
-angioedema
-first dose hypotension
-hyperkalemia
-contraindicated for pregnant women
afterload correct answer resistance left ventricle must overcome to circulate
blood
increased in
hypertension
vasoconstriction
Aldosterone correct answer -hormone
-causes cells in the kidneys to increase their reabsorption of sodium back into the
blood, also causes cells to excrete potassium ions that leave the body dissolved
into urine
, Angiotensin II correct answer -a vasoconstrictor of the arterioles
-stimulates the secretion of Aldosterone
-stimulates the release of Antidiuretic Hormone/vasopressin
Aoritc Dissection correct answer occurs when blood seperates arterial wall layers
to form blood-filled channel within the aoritc wall
Apoptosis correct answer normal, controlled cell death
aPTT correct answer 50-80 on heparin
25-40 normally
Atherosclerosis (Signs and Symptoms) correct answer -Angina pectoris
-MI
-Strokes
-Intermittent claudication
Atropine correct answer Anticholinergic prototype drug
stimulates the PNS
Side effects:
dry mouth
constipation
uriniary retention
