RASMUSSEN PATHOPHYSIOLOGY EXAM 1
ACTUAL TEST BANK FULL SOLUTION WITH
TESTED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
●● Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and
plasma viscosity (PV) blood tests are commonly used to detect an
increase in protein in the blood..
Answer: Lab tests with inflammation
●● · Maintaining internal conditions in a stable state by keeping things
relatively the same, or balanced..
Answer: Homeostasis
●● Overall weight loss and generalized weakness that may have resulted
from toxins released by cancer cells. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting.
Increased metabolic rate..
Answer: Cachexia
●● Extremely malignant bone forming tumor in adolescent and young
adults. Develop in a metaphysical region of long bones. May cause limb
pain, compromised joint function..
Answer: Osteosarcoma
,●● DVT, Pulmonary embolism.
Answer: Complication of bone fracture
●● Muscle loss, infection, nerve damage, amputation, and possible
kidney damage..
Answer: Complication of compartment syndrome
●● · Thirst, decreased urine output, hypotension.
Answer: Signs of dehydration
●● · Fight or flight response. The purpose is to restore balance. It
provides a surge of energy and physical alterations to either evade or
confront danger..
Answer: Alarm phase of Han Seley's General adaptation syndrome
●● · A disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain
accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues..
Answer: Fibromyalgia
●● · Enhanced myocardial contractility, increased heart rate,
bronchodilation, and elevated blood glucose levels..
Answer: Flight or fight response signs and symptoms
, ●● · Elevated uric acid and disturbance in uric acid metabolism..
Answer: Causes of Gout
●● · Vasodilator that reduces BP, causes bronchoconstriction and mucus
production. Treats hives, pruritus and swelling..
Answer: Action of Histamine
●● Cortisol and catecholamines..
Answer: Stress hormones/hormones secreted during body's stress
response
●● · Redness, pain, swelling, heat, loss of function..
Answer: Cardinal signs of inflammation
●● Cancer cells escape their tissue of origin and initiate new colonies of
cancer in distant sites. They escape basement membranes, travel through
extracellular space, and penetrate in the basement membrane..
Answer: Metastasis
●● · progressive loss of muscle tissues. A group of diseases that cause
progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. Abnormal genes
(mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form
healthy muscle. Person usually gets progressively weaker and will most
people eventually need to use a wheelchair; lifespan is often shortened..
