Patho - Week 1 - (Exam 1) Edapt Questions
and Answers Latest Update
What are the 4 types of cues?— Ans: Observed cues, environmental cues,
historical cues, time-sensitive cues
Observed cues— Ans: Clinical manifestations are the signals that indicate
homeostasis has been lost.
These can be reported by the person (e.g., pain, tenderness) or seen by
others (e.g., rashes, coughing). Sometimes referred to as signs and
symptoms, clinical manifestations can include fever, bleeding, swelling, and
pain, to name a few.
Environmental cues— Ans: Environmental cues are aspects of a person that
impact their health and include their physical environment, both indoor and
outside.
External environmental cues include air pollution, clean drinking water, lead
paint, the work environment, and chemical exposure, among others.
Internal environmental cues include, but are not limited to, acid-base
balance, oxygenation, genetic mutations, and fluid balance.
Historical cues— Ans: Historical cues are those contained within a person's
past medical history (PMH), such as illnesses that tend to occur in families
(genetics) and lifestyle choices (diet and exercise) that impact health.
Time - Sensitive Cues— Ans: Some clinical manifestations result from
pathophysiologic changes that can threaten a person's life (e.g., heart attack
or stroke) if action is not taken immediately.

Questions about observed cues— Ans: How long has this been happening?
What makes this condition better?
What makes this condition worse?
What else can you tell me about your condition?
What benefits are gained by asking questions when someone has clinical
manifestations of altered homeostasis?— Ans: Evidence is located.
Data is collected.
Assumptions are challenged.
Insight is provided.
Based on which factors are the number and types of tests needed to confirm
an alteration in health chosen?— Ans: Pathophysiologic process suspected

Pathogenesis— Ans: the manner in which a disease develops

replicating itself
Etiology— Ans: study of the cause of disease
ex:The flu is caused by the influenza virus
Genetics— Ans: the study of heredity
Genome— Ans: all of an organism's genetic material/DNA
What is the main purpose of the Human Genome Project?— Ans: To map the
nucleotide sequence and identify the genes on each human chromosome
Sickle cell anemia is which type of disorder?— Ans: autosomal-recessive
Are males or females more likely to experience x-linked diseases?— Ans:
males
Genes— Ans: the blueprints for how proteins are coded within all cells.
In what ways are genomics transforming the world?— Ans: DNA sequencing
human genomic variation
