Portage Learning Pathophysiology NURS 231/BIOD 331 Module 1 Exam All Versions Latest, Exams of Nursing

Portage learning Pathophysiology exam 1 is a comprehensive document that covers all likely exam questions that could appear on exam 1. Portage Learning’s Pathophysiology Exam 1 is typically the first assessment in the course and covers foundational concepts of pathophysiology. While the specific content of the exam can vary, it generally assesses students' understanding of the basic mechanisms of disease, cellular processes, and how the body responds to injury and stress. The topics are usually derived from the early chapters of the Pathophysiology course materials. The exam may consist of multiple-choice questions, true/false, and short answer questions that test your understanding of these fundamental concepts.

Question Type Breakdown ➢ True and false: ➢ Matching, multiple choice and short answer: ➢ Clinical questions: Only questions are provided for clinical questions as examinees are strongly encouraged to answer them in their own words. All the Best! True And False: Hypertrophy can occur under normal and pathological conditions. - true Hypertrophy can occur in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the number of cells. - False A body builders’ muscles will display hyperplasia. -False- will display Hypertrophy Persistent metaplasia can lead to dysplasia. - true Persistent dysplasia eventually results in cancer. - true Barret oesophagus syndrome is an example of dysplasia. - False- it's metaplasia Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the number of cells. - False Barrett oesophagus is an example of dysplasia. - false (Barrett's oesophagus is Metaplasia) Matching Multiple Choice And Short Answer: Which of the following is the effect of an illness on one's life? A) Incidence B) Morbidity C)Prevalence D) Mortality Which are true of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. - It is involved in cellular respiration They play a role in apoptosis Which of the following are true of the cell? Select all that apply. - Proteins carry out the functions of the cell membrane Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell Microfilaments are thin, threadlike cytoplasmic structures Which is not true of the cytoskeleton? A) It controls the shape and movement B) cilia and flagella are microtubule filled extensions C) It includes peroxisomes and proteasome C) The cytoskeleton does not contain peroxisomes and proteasomes Which of the following move across the cell membrane via diffusion? - Oxygen Water Carbon Dioxide Which are true of the cell membrane? Select all that apply. - Controls the transport of materials from the outside fluids to within Helps with the conduction of electrical currents in nerve and muscle cells Aids in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation Which are false of the mitochondria? Select all that apply. - They are found far from the site of energy consumption They control free radicals High blood pressure is an example of which of the following? - Pathophysiology (Pathophysiology is the study of disease, high blood pressure is an example of a disease) A patient complains of chest pain and an elevated blood pressure. What are these examples of? - signs (high blood pressure) AND symptoms (pt complaint of chest pain) dry gangrene the affected tissue becomes dry and shrinks, the skin wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black. The spread of dry gangrene is slow. It results from a cut off in arterial blood supply and is a form of coagulation necrosis. In wet gangrene, the affected area is cold, swollen, and pulseless. The skin is moist, black, and under tension. Blebs form on the surface, liquefaction occurs, and a foul odor is caused by bacterial action. The spread of tissue damage is rapid. Match the type of cell injury to the cause. Some answer may be used more than once. - Know causes of cell injury: physical agents, radiation, chemical injury, biologic agents, nutritional imbalances, free radical injury, hypoxic cell injury and know examples of each type List the 4 types of tissue found in the body. Pick 2 and give a description and example of each. - 4 types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous and know descriptions and examples within each type What term means "cell eating" and engulfs and then kills microorganisms or other particulate matter? - phagocytosis What is the term to describe when cells use energy to move ions against an electrical or chemical gradient? - active transport Give one function of a membrane potential: - Generate nerve impulse, muscle contractions, or cause hormone secretion what is diffusion of water called? - osmosis Mortality - Deals with the cause of death in a population Incidence - Deals with the number of new cases in a population at risk during a specified time Prevalence - Number of people with the disease in a population in a given time Morbidity - The effect of an illness on ones life Define secondary prevention and give an example. - Secondary prevention is treatment that is there to detect diseases early on; before symptoms arise. This includes mammograms, Pap smears and colonoscopies. These are done on women and men regularly as a way to detect commonly associated cancers before the symptoms arise. Compare and contrast the two types of gangrenous necrosis. - There are 2 types of gangrenous necrosis; wet and dry. Wet necrosis is fast spreading and the tissue turns cold and swollen with a pulse. The tissue turns black and is moist/wet and under a lot of pressure. Usually associated with a foul odor. Dry necrosis is slower spreading than wet necrosis. The tissue turns brown/black and shrinks down in size as it dries out. Explain what necrosis is and give an example/description of one type of necrosis. - Necrosis is a cell death/destruction of tissue or organs of a living individual. Gangrenous necrosis has two types; wet and dry. Wet gangrene is a very fast advancing necrosis and the tissue will turn visibly black. The tissue will be moist/wet and be very swollen. The area will start to smell as bacteria is produced on the dying tissue. sunburn - radiation injury obesity - nutritional imbalance reactive oxygen species - free radical injury low oxygen to tissues - Hypoxic cell injury Fractures - Physical agents OTC drugs - Chemical injury Hypothermia - Physical agents radiation treatment - Radiation Injury Lead toxicity - Chemical Injury Bacteria - Biological agents
