NR283 EXAM 2 CHAMBERLAIN QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026
Rupture of necrotic heart/cardiac tamponade(fluid surround the heart, putting pressure on it)
Thromboembolism, which causes a cerebrovascular accident (aka a stroke) - CORRECT ANSWER
-MI complications
When each cell type differentiates and carries out particular functions....? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Differentiation is
The part of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides. And requires genetic control of DNA
and RNA - CORRECT ANSWER -Mitosis is
Is DNA in a parent cell is altered then passed on, the offspring with then carry the ________? -
CORRECT ANSWER -Mutation
The process of programmed cell death, controlled by genetic elements is called? - CORRECT
ANSWER -Apoptosis
Another name for a tumor is? - CORRECT ANSWER -Neoplasm
What do we call a cellular growth that no longer responds to genetic controls, and continues to
reproduce without need to do so? - CORRECT ANSWER -Neoplasms
What deprives other cells of nutrition, and often consist of atypical or immature cells? -
CORRECT ANSWER -Tumor (Neoplasm)
,The type of cell from which the tumor arises and the unique structure and growth patterns it
has. - CORRECT ANSWER -Characteristics of tumors depend on
What usually has differentiated cells that produce at a higher rate than normal, are
encapsulated, and expand but do NOT spread? - CORRECT ANSWER -Benign Tumor
What results from compression to adjacent structures/organs and can be life threatening if it
occurs in the brain? - CORRECT ANSWER -Tissue damage from benign tumors
If you identified undifferentiated, nonfunctional cells in the body, that were infiltrating and
spreading to surround tissues or distant areas, with rapid reproduction and abnormal mitotic
tissue, what could you assume this is? - CORRECT ANSWER -Malignant tumor
What type of tumor lacks control of mitosis, does not undergo apoptosis, has altered surface
antigens, and often breaks loose from each other and travels to distant areas of the body to
invade tissue? - CORRECT ANSWER -Malignant
What kind of mass compresses blood vessels and can lead to necrosis and inflammation around
the tumor - CORRECT ANSWER -Malignant
What type of tumor may secrete enzymes/hormones that can break down the proteins and
cells? - CORRECT ANSWER -Malignant
When malignant tumor cells secrete growth factors, stimulating the development of new
capillaries within the tumor, this is referred to as? - CORRECT ANSWER -Angiogenesis
Pain, obstruction and tissue necrosis/ulceration are considered to be? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Local effects of Tumors
, This specific local effect of a tumor can be present until late stages and occurs when a tumor is
very advanced, however the severity all depends on the type of tumor. This local effect is known
as? - CORRECT ANSWER -Pain
The specific local effect of a tumor which occurs when a tumor compresses a duct or
passageway, causing the blood supply, lymphatic flow, digestive tract, or airflow to the bronchi
to be restricted. This can be identified as which local effect? - CORRECT ANSWER -Obstruction
The specific local effect of tumor which may cause bleeding or infection near or around a tumor
can be identified as? - CORRECT ANSWER -Ulceration or Tissue necrosis
The 3 different type of obstruction by tumors are? - CORRECT ANSWER -Polyploid Tumor,
External Mass, and Circumferential Tumor
What are the two different ways a malignant tumor can spread? - CORRECT ANSWER -Invasion
and Matastasis
If a tumor is spread locally, where tumor cells only grow into adjacent tissues, example:
carcinoma invades the vagina-this would be identified as which type of malignancy spread? -
CORRECT ANSWER -Invasion
If a tumor is spread to distant sites, via blood, lymph, or other bodily fluids, for example: a
carcinoma of the colon spread to the liver-this would be identified as which type of malignancy
spread? - CORRECT ANSWER -Matastasis
Removing the tumor and surrounding tissue
Laparoscopically with many small incisions
