Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse 2nd Edition by Dlugasch and Story: Practice Questions and Answers Study Guide

Document preview thumbnail
Vista previa 4 fuera de 376 páginas

Prepare for advanced practice nursing exams with a study guide based on Applied Pathophysiology for the Advanced Practice Nurse, 2nd Edition by Lucie Dlugasch and Darlene Story. Review essential concepts related to disease mechanisms, cellular adaptation, inflammation, immune responses, genetics, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and pathophysiological changes affecting major body systems. This resource is designed to help nursing students and advanced practice nursing learners strengthen their understanding of disease processes, connect clinical symptoms with underlying mechanisms, and prepare for quizzes and examinations through practice questions and explanations. Use it alongside the textbook, lecture notes, and course materials to reinforce learning and identify areas requiring further review. This is an independent study resource, not an official publisher test bank, and the questions are not guaranteed to match actual exams.

Dlugasch Story

Chapter 1 Cellular Function


1. The nucleus , which is essential for function and survival of the
cell.

B) utilize glycolysis for oxidative energy.

C) extract energy from organic compounds.

D) store calcium bonds for muscle contractions.


3. Although the basic structure of the cell plasma membrane is formed by a
lipid bilayer, most of the specific membrane functions are carried out by:

A) bound and transmembrane proteins.

B) complex, long carbohydrate chains.

C) surface antigens and hormone receptors.

D) a gating system of selective ion channels.


4. To effectively relay signals, cell-to-cell communication utilizes chemical
messenger systems that:

A) displace surface receptor proteins.

C) bind to contractile microfilaments.

D) release secretions into extracellular fluid.


5. Aerobic metabolism, also known as oxidative metabolism, provides energy
by:

A) removing the phosphate bonds from ATP.

B) combining hydrogen and oxygen to form water.

C) activating pyruvate stored in the cytoplasm.

D) breaking down glucose to form lactic acid.


6. Exocytosis, the reverse of endocytosis, is important in into the
extracellular fluid.

A) Engulfing and ingesting fluid and proteins for transport

B) Killing, degrading, and dissolving harmful microorganisms

C) Removing cellular debris and releasing synthesized substances

D) Destruction of particles by lysosomal enzymes for secretion


7. The process responsible for generating and conducting membrane potentials
is:

A) diffusion of current-carrying ions.

B) millivoltage of electrical potential.

C) polarization of charged particles.

D) ion channel neurotransmission.


8. Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the
number of layers. Which of the following is a correctly matched description
and type of epithelial tissue?

A) Simple epithelium: cells in contact with intercellular matrix; some do not
extend to surface

B) synthesis of collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers.

C) forming tendons and the fascia that covers muscles.

D) filling spaces between tissues to keep organs in place.


10 Although all muscle tissue cells have some similarities, smooth muscle (also
. known as involuntary muscle) differs by:

A) having dense bodies attached to actin filaments.

B) containing sarcomeres between Z lines and M bands.

C) having rapid contractions and abundant cross-striations.

D) contracting in response to increased intracellular calcium.


11 Which of the following aspects of the function of the nucleus is performed
. by ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

A) Copying and carrying DNA instructions for protein synthesis

B) Carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis

C) Providing the site where protein synthesis occurs

. performed by which of the following organelles?

A) Lysosomes
