NSG 1520 South College -EXAM #1 Pathophysiology
NSG1520 Questions | 2026/2027 | Answers Correct | With
Complete Solutions
-stenosis Correct Answers abnormal narrowing
1st degree burn Correct Answers Thermal damage to the first
layer of skin only (epidermis), lower layers heated and react by
turning red and becoming tender and uncomfortable to touch
2nd degree burn Correct Answers thermal damage to the first
& second layers of the skin (epidermis and dermis) Blisters will
appear, and may break making the skin appear moist. Can be red
or white color depending on the thermal agent. (hot water may
make them appear pale)
3rd degree burn Correct Answers thermal damage to all three
layers of the skin, also cooks blood vessels, so it appears to be
dry and leathery- color depends on agent
4 types of hypersensitivity reactions Correct Answers 1.
Immediate hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) (IgE)
2. Antibody-mediated hypersensitivity (IgG)
3. Immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity
4. Cell-mediated hypersensitivity
A punnet square shows all of the following EXCEPT Correct
Answers the actual results of a genetic cross
ABG pH Correct Answers 7.35-7.45
,Acid-Base Imbalances Correct Answers Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Acid-Base Imbalances Correct Answers Respiratory acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Metabolic acidosis
Metabolic alkalosis
Acidosis Correct Answers pH below 7.35
active artificial immunity Correct Answers Antigen
purposefully introduced to body
Stimulation of antibody production
Ex:
Immunization
Booster immunization
active natural immunity Correct Answers -direct exposure to
antigen with development of antibodies
E.g. antibodies developed in response to an infection
acute inflammation Correct Answers short term response to
injury
Acute rejection Correct Answers Occurs within first few
months after transplantation with signs of organ failure; may
occur months or years after immunosuppression has been
terminated
T lymphocytes respond to antigens in the graft tissue
,Adhesion Correct Answers attraction between molecules of
different substances
agents of disease Correct Answers prions, viruses, bacteria,
protists, fungi, helminths
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) Correct
Answers a life-threatening, sexually transmitted infection
caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS
depletes the immune system, leaving the person vulnerable to
infections.
Algae are Correct Answers autotrophic protists
Alkalosis Correct Answers pH above 7.45
allograft (homograft) Correct Answers use of tissue from
another person
human - human who may differ genetically
Anaphalaxis Correct Answers severe allergic reaction that
causes airways to tighten and blood vessels to leak
Angiogenesis Correct Answers growth of blood vessels
anorexia Correct Answers lack or loss of appetite
anti inflammatory herbs Correct Answers
, Antibiotics Correct Answers Drugs that block the growth and
reproduction of bacteria
antibodies or immunoglobulins Correct Answers are produced
by B cells and the population in an individual body is extremely
diverse, but each one binds very specific antigens
Antigens Correct Answers a toxin or other foreign substance
that induces an immune response in the body, especially the
production of antibodies.
Antimicrobial drugs Correct Answers interfere with the growth
of microbes within a host, increased use of these drugs may
result in drug resistance.
antimicrobials Correct Answers destroy bacteria, fungi, and
protozoa, depending on the particular drug, generally by
interfering with the functions of their cell membrane or their
reproductive cycle
antiviral drugs Correct Answers Drugs that act, are effective, or
are directed against viruses.
-but do not kill the virus
autograft Correct Answers transplantation of healthy tissue
from one site to another site in the same individual
autosomal dominant Correct Answers Name the pattern of
genetic transmission characterized thus: both M and F are
affected; M may transmit to M; each generation has at least one
affected parent; and one mutant allele may produce the disease.
