NUR2063 – ESSENTIALS OF PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
RASMUSSEN EXAM 2
This course (NUR2063) covers the fundamental principles of pathophysiology as
they relate to nursing practice. It explores cellular function, homeostasis,
adaptation, and dysfunction, as well as system-level disease mechanisms
including respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, immunologic, gastrointestinal, and
hematologic disorders. Through case studies and concept-mapping (e.g., asthma,
fibromyalgia), the course emphasizes application of pathophysiologic processes to
clinical scenarios.
, 1. What increases the risk for women's predisposition to UTIs? - Correct Short
Perineum
2. Muscle spasms is characteristic of what disorder? - Correct Muscular Dystrophy
3. Excess Growth Hormone released by the pituitary gland after epiphyseal plate
fusion results in: - Correct Acromegaly
4. Increased TSH with decreased T3 and T4 - Correct Hypothyroidism
5. The cause of diabetes insipidus is a result of? - Correct Insufficient ADH
6. Common clinical manifestation of portal hypertension can include: - Correct
Vomiting blood
7. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most _______ form of hypothyroidism - Correct
common
8. The following is associated with prerenal injury: - Correct Decreased blood flow to
the kidneys
