Description
This Chamberlain NR 507 Advanced Pathophysiology Midterm is a167-
question multiple-choice exam, covering Weeks 1–4: Immunological,
Hematological, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, and Urinary system pathologies.
Focus on mechanisms of disease, clinical manifestations, and lab markers for
topics like hypersensitivity (Types I-IV), anemia, heart failure, asthma/COPD,
and renal failure.
Key Study Topics
Immunology (Week 1): Hypersensitivity reactions (I-IV), HIV pathophysiology,
and SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) diagnosis/treatment.
Hematology (Week 2): Classification of anemias (microcytic, macrocytic,
normocytic) and hemoglobin abnormalities.
Cardiovascular (Week 2): coronary artery disease (CAD), congestive heart
failure (CHF), heart valves, and hypertension.
Pulmonary (Week 3): Obstructive (asthma, COPD/chronic bronchitis) vs.
restrictive diseases, gas transport, and pulmonary circulation.
Urinary (Week 4): UTI, renal failure, acute/chronic kidney disease, and BPH.
