Pathophysiology Latest 2024
A patient with chronic bronchitis is most likely to experience: -
Correct Answer - Respiratory acidosis due to inability to exhale
CO2.
The effects of an Alpha-antitrypsin 1 deficiency is: - Correct
Answer - inability to block the effects of proteolysis
Which of the following is considered a late effect of emphysema?
- Correct Answer - Hypoxemia and Hypercapnia.
Hyperresonance found on lung percussion with a patient with
COPD is primarily due to - Correct Answer - air trapping
A lung volume measurement that indicates air trapping in a COPD
patient is: - Correct Answer - increased residual volume
,An expected chest x-ray finding for a patient with COPD is a -
Correct Answer - flattened diaphragm
The NP is examining a patient with a longstanding history of
chronic bronchitis. Cor pulmonale is expected in the patient that
presents with: - Correct Answer - hepatomegaly
A patient with chronic bronchitis is at risk for developing
pneumonia due to: - Correct Answer - mucous plugs
In normal gas exchange, which of the following is correct? -
Correct Answer - After air is breathed in, it diffuses into the
pulmonary veins.
Asthma results in - Correct Answer - decreased alveolar
ventilation
Extrinsic asthma is - Correct Answer - triggered by an allergic
reaction
,Asthma is a chronic disease characterized by: - Correct Answer
- Intermittent, reversible airflow obstruction.
Symptoms common to both intrinsic and extrinsic asthma include:
- Correct Answer - Wheezing
Extrinsic - Correct Answer - Triggered by allergic chronic
reaction (pollen, dust mites, pet dander)
Elevated IgE is diagnostic
More common, especially in children
Intrinsic - Correct Answer - Triggered by non-allergic factors
(chemical, air borne irritants, infections, exercise, stress, anxiety,
GERD, obesity)
No elevation in IgE
More common in adults less than 40 years of age

hypersensitivity reaction. - Correct Answer - type 4
hypersensitivity reaction
Type 2 (Cytotoxic) hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by: -
Correct Answer - IgG or IgM
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction is mediated by - Correct Answer
- IgE
Allergic asthma is an example of - Correct Answer - type 1
hypersensitivity reaction
type 2 hypersensitivity - Correct Answer - tissue specific
