NSG-3280 TEST 1 Questions with 100%
Correct Answers
idiopathic Correct Answer: unknown cause
Eitology Correct Answer: cause of disease
iatrogenic Correct Answer: result of an unintended or unwanted medical
treatment
Pathogenesis Correct Answer: development of disease from initial stimulation
Symptoms are Correct Answer: subjective characteristics of a disease that only
the patient can feel
incubation period/ Latent Correct Answer: interval between initial infection and
first signs and symptoms
prodomal phase Correct Answer: time of mild signs or symptoms indicating
onset of disease
Manifest Phase Correct Answer: the disease reaches its full intensity, and signs
and symptoms attain their greatest severity
convalescence Correct Answer: gradual recovery after an illness
Signs Correct Answer: Observed and objective manifestations
Symptoms Correct Answer: Subjective feelings from patient
syndrome Correct Answer: S/S that has not been identified
,exacerbation Correct Answer: a sudden increase in severity of disease or signs
or symptoms
Remission Correct Answer: improvement or absence of signs of disease
subclinical Correct Answer: Stage of a disease or disorder not severe enough to
produce symptoms that can be detected or diagnosed.
sequela Correct Answer: subsequent pathologic condition resulting from an
acute illness
endemic disease Correct Answer: local region or native disease
epidemic disease Correct Answer: disease acquired by many hosts in a given
area in a short time
pandemic disease Correct Answer: worldwide epidemic
secondary prevention Correct Answer: Efforts to limit the effects of an injury or
illness that you cannot completely prevent. Colonoscopies, treating for obesity,
high BP but being treated for it,
primary prevention Correct Answer: Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from
ever occurring. Vaccinations
tertiary prevention Correct Answer: actions taken to contain damage once a
disease or disability has progressed beyond its early stages.
Therapies
Homeostasis Correct Answer: A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant
internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood
glucose, around a particular level
, Allostasis Correct Answer: process by which the body achieves stability through
physiological change
GAS stages of stress Correct Answer: -alarm
-resistance
-exhaustion
alarm stage of GAS Correct Answer: organism recognizes stress, begins to
respond. Fight or flight and sympathetic nervous system engages
epinephrine and norepinephrine
resistance stage of GAS Correct Answer: second stage;
body functions normalize while responding to the stressor. The body attempts to
cope with the stressor
normalization/resolution of glucocorticoid secretion, fight or flight, and
secretions and epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Exhaustion stage of GAS Correct Answer: third stage;
if the client reaches this stage, body functions are no longer able to maintain an
adaptive response to the stressor
increased glucocorticoid secretions followed by dysregulation
ALLOSTATIC OVERLOAD
Epinephrine Correct Answer: Enhances myocardialcontractility, increases
heartrate, and increases cardiacoutput
