500+ Questions with Detailed Verified
Answers and Rationales (A+ Graded)
What reaction in the body inhibits bacterial growth and causes
the liver and spleen to remove iron in the body that some
bacteria use for growth? - ...ANSWER...fever
What do cells release when they are attacked by viruses? -
...ANSWER...inferferons
Where do interferons travel to and why? - ...ANSWER...They
spread the infected cells to trigger the making of enzymes that
would inhibit the viral replication
What system with about 20 blood plasma proteins gets
activated to attack the bacteria, causing it to let water into the
bacteria's cell to swell, burst, and die? - ...ANSWER...the
complement system
What is the process called that starts with vasodilation;
increases permeability of vessels for the WBCs, macrophages,
and plasma to go to the foreign cells; and forms a coat around
the microbe to kill them? - ...ANSWER...phagocytosis
Interleukin six is produced primarily by which type of cell?
,A. Macrophages, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts B.
Macrophages - ...ANSWER...A. Macrophages,
lymphocytes, and fibroblasts
Which are the most predominate proinflammatory factors?
A. interleukins
B. RBC
C. WBS - ...ANSWER...A. interleukins
In regards to wound healing, what is primary union? -
...ANSWER...Wound edges can be matched together with
serum and regeneration of tissue and connecting capillaries,
fibroblasts, and laying of collagen that pulls the sides together
when they shrink. There is typically very little tissue loss (e.g.,
surgical skin incision).
In regards to wound healing, what is secondary union? -
...ANSWER...It is a greater area of tissue loss and more
inflammation. Greater amounts of tissue replacement, scar
formation, and wound contraction result in a more lengthy
healing process (e.g., late stage pressure ulcer).
A client receiving an influenza vaccine (flu shot) asks when
the immunization will be effective. The nurse response based
on the knowledge that after receiving the vaccine, the levels of
immunoglobulin M (IgM) are high enough to provide
immunization (select all that apply)
A. in 7 days
,B. after 24 hours
C. in 10 days
D. in 48 hours
E. in 14 days
F. immediately - ...ANSWER...A. in 7 days
C. in 10 days
E. in 14 days
And elderly client is concerned about catching influenza. The
nurse understands that which immune system function
changes occur with increased age? (select all that apply)
A. Decreased levels of circulating autoantibodies
B. Increased thymic hormone production
C. Diminished T cell function
D. Reduced antibody response - ...ANSWER...C. Diminished
T cell function
D. Reduced antibody response
differentiate between the terms metaplasia and malignant
neoplasm - ...ANSWER...METAPLASIA - occurs when one
mature cell type is replaced by different mature cell type is
functional
MALIGNANT NEOPLASM - referred to as cancer and
involve dysplastic tissues
Describe the changes in a cell that lead to:
A. loss of function
, B. necrosis - ...ANSWER...A. LOSS OF FUNCTION -
preceded by changes in so metabolism because of changes
in structure and function
B. NECROSIS - the death of groups of cells caused by
processes such as cells being liquefied by certain enzymes
(liquefaction necrosis), cell proteins being altered or denatured
(coagulative necrosis), breakdown of fats by enzymes (fat
necrosis), or formative of a thick "cheesy" substance that later
leads to liquefication (caseous necrosis)
Apoptosis - ...ANSWER...programmed cell death
gangrene - ...ANSWER...an are of ischemic and necrotic
tissue that has been invaded by bacteria
CJ is having surgery next week to remove a malignant breast
tumor following discovery of a lump in the breast and a
biopsy. her mother and aunt have had breast cancer. CJ is
taking medication for high blood pressure.
Match the significant information in the preceding question to
the appropriate term: diagnosis, medical history, etiology,
prognosis, benign neoplasm, iatrogenic, signs, complication,
treatment, cancer, examination of living tissue. (some terms
may not be used or may be used more than once) -
...ANSWER...malignant breast tumor and high blood pressure
= diagnosis
high blood pressure and family cancer = medical history
