NSG 533 - Advanced Pathophysiology Exam 1 -
Module One 2025 update|comprehensive questions
and verified answers (complete solutions)
Exam|GRADE A+!!
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
,2|Page
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
, 3|Page
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?
by their mechanisms of action - (ANSWER)How are the four categories of
stressors that cause disease differentiated?
ATP depletion - (ANSWER)Which of the stressors causes the most disease?
impaired energy function involving hypoxia - (ANSWER)What do most of the ATP
depletion cases involve?
the inability of the cell to produce adequate energy (ATP), to fuel the normal
activities of that particular cell type (e.g. cell membrane pumps and protein
synthesis) and function. - (ANSWER)What is ATP depletion?
