WGU D027 - COMPREHENSIVE STUDY GUIDE FOR HEALTH
DISORDERS AND TREATMENTS |LATEST UPDATE
Autosomal Dominant.
correct answer: 1 parent has gene/disease, 50% chance of child having.
Autosomal Recessive.
correct answer: Both parents are carriers, 25% chance of child having, 50%
chance child is a carrier.
Cystic Fibrosis.
correct answer: affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs.
21st Trisomy.
correct answer: Down Syndrome.
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY)
correct answer: male has extra X, female like qualities.
Turner Syndrome
correct answer: Missing X chromosome in females.
Alpha Thalassemia
correct answer: inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia.
Beta Thallasemia
correct answer: low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous sulfate.
Prevalence Risk
correct answer: proportion of the population affected at a certain time.
Incidence rate
correct answer: number of new cases divided by population.
Innate immunity
correct answer: inflammation; increased vascular permeability.
B&T lymphocytes
correct answer: immune response.
,Primary malignant tumor
, correct answer: lack of organization of cells.
glucocorticoids
correct answer: used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid
tissue (leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM).
Correct answer: for hormone receptor positive and advanced breast cancer.
(Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk).
Heart failure
correct answer: impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood; heart
cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
CHF
correct answer: heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume
overload in pulmonary area.
Left Ventricular Dysfunction
correct answer: reduced ejection fraction; ventricle having issue ejecting
blood.
normal ejection fraction
correct answer: 55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each heartbeat).
Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved?
Correct answer: preserved.
Diastolic CHF
correct answer: preserved ejection fraction, problem is with filling.
Systolic CHF
correct answer: reduced ejection fraction, problem is with ejecting.
Left sided CHF
correct answer: pulmonary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3 murmurs)
** #1 cause of Right sided CHF.
BNP
correct answer: gold standard lab test to diagnose CHF.
Echocardiogram
