Nursing Pathophysiology Exam 1 – UTA Test Bank 2026 |
Latest Update | Graded A+
1. A 60-year-old male experiences kidney pain, enlargement of the kidney, and
when genotyped, it is revealed that he has one mutated allele of PKD1. What
is this condition?
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
Chronic pyelonephritis
Reflux nephropathy
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
2. Which of the hormones is released to correct a hypoglycemic state?
testosterone
estrogen
insulin
glucagon
3. Describe the role of glycogenesis in maintaining blood glucose levels.
Glycogenesis helps maintain blood glucose levels by storing excess
glucose as glycogen, which can be converted back to glucose when
needed.
Glycogenesis is primarily involved in the breakdown of fats.
Glycogenesis has no effect on blood glucose levels.
Glycogenesis increases blood glucose levels by releasing glucose
into the bloodstream.
,4. Under normal conditions, hyperglycemia stimulates the pancreas to secrete
Insulin
Glucose
Glucagon
Glycogen
5. Hypoglycemia is a condition resulting from:
Low blood pressure
High blood pressure
High blood sugar levels
Low blood sugar levels
6. Which hormone is released in response to hypoglycemia?
Insulin
Gastrin
Ghrelin
Glucagon
7. Describe the significance of maintaining blood pH within the normal range.
Maintaining blood pH within the normal range is crucial for proper
enzyme function and metabolic processes.
Blood pH has no significant impact on bodily functions.
Blood pH is only important during exercise.
Blood pH only affects oxygen transport in the blood.
, 8. A client is diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). What genetic
pattern is commonly associated with PKD?
X-linked recessive
Autosomal recessive
X-linked dominant
Autosomal dominant
9. Which disorder is characterized as an Autosomal Recessive Disorder?
Huntington's Disease
Marfan Syndrome
Cystic Fibrosis
Sickle Cell Anemia
10. Glycogenesis is a process of making glycogen from glucose.
making glucose from glycogen
making glycogen from glucose
making glycogen form glycogenin
making glucose
11. Which hormone prevents hypoglycemia by promoting the conversion of
glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) and the conversion of protein to
glucose (gluconeogenesis)?
Somatostatin
Testosterone
Insulin
