PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1 RASMUSSEN
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
|GRADE A+ GUARANTEE
Pathophysiology - Answer-the study of abnormalities in physiologic
functioning of living beings
Pathology - Answer-the study and diagnosis of disease through
examination of organs, tissues, cells, and bodily fluids
Etiology - Answer-The study of the causes and origins of disease
4 topics of pathophysiology - Answer-etiology, pathogenesis, clinical
manifestations, treatment
pathogenesis - Answer-development or evolution of a disease
clinical manifestation - Answer-signs and symptoms or evidence of
disease
,exacerbation - Answer-a relatively sudden increase in the severity of a
disease or any of its signs and symptom
remission - Answer-decline in severity of symptoms
passive immunity - Answer-Transfer of performed antibodies against a
specific antigen from protected or immunized individual to an
unprotected or non-immunized individual
Examples of passive immunity - Answer-IgA in breast milk, maternal
IgG crossing placenta, antitoxin, serotherapy (direct injection of
antibodies)
Potassium Value normal range( intercellular cation) - Answer-3.5-5.0
mEq/L
Sodium value normal range (major cation of extracellular fluid) -
Answer-135-145 mEq/L
Calcium value normal range - Answer-9-11 mg/dL OR 4.5-5.5 mEq/L
Phosphate value normal range - Answer-2.5-4.5 mg/dL
Magnesium value normal range - Answer-1.5-2.5 mEq/L
, Bicarbonate value normal range (second most abundant anion in blood)
- Answer-23-30 mEq/L
Condition of low potassium < 3.5 mEq/L - Answer-hypokalemia
Condition of high potassium >5 mEq/L - Answer-Hyperkalemia
Condition of sodium < 135 mEq/L - Answer-hyponatremia /
hypernatremia
Condition of high sodium>145 mEq/L - Answer-hypernatremia
condition of low phosphate < 2.5 mg/dL - Answer-hypophophatemia
Condition of high phosphate > 4.5 mg/dL - Answer-Hyperphosphatemia
