NUR 606 Midterm Exam Questions and
Answer | 100% Pass | 2024 Update
HIV is transmitted through what? - ✔✔direct contact with body fluids or
blood
An infection that can occur during HIV stage - ✔✔Pneumocystis
Pneumonia
Acute retroviral symptoms - ✔✔flu-like symptoms
decreased CD4+
high viral load >1 million
high transmission potential
shallow, demarcated ulcers on mouth, anus, penis, and rectum
When is it recommended to start HAART therapy? - ✔✔CD4+ <350
Normal CD4+ count - ✔✔500-1500
CD4+ count in HIV - ✔✔<500
CD4+ count in AIDS - ✔✔<200
AIDS symptoms - ✔✔lymphadenopathy
,diarrhea
weight loss
fever
cough, SOB
Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS - ✔✔p24 testing- can be positive within 6 weeks
after infection
If p24 is positive, then HIV-1/HIV-2 antibody differentiation immunoassay
should be done to confirm
What causes an autoimmune disorder? - ✔✔the body's normal defense
becomes self-destructive by failing to identify self-antigens with the host
from nonself foreign antigens
microcytic anemia - ✔✔MCV <80
normal amount of RBC, but they are smaller than usual due to decreased
hgb
normocytic anemia - ✔✔MCV 80-95
normal sized RBC, just a decreased number of them
macrocytic anemia - ✔✔MCV >100
normal amount of RBC, they are larger than usual due to increased hgb
what kind of anemia is iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔microcytic
,iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔the supply of iron needed to produce hgb is
inadequate
S/S of iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔decreased H/H
gradual fatigue
increasing SOB
causes of iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔NSAIDS
colon cancer
strict vegan
frequent blood donor
GI tract conditions (PUD, gastric cancer, Crohns, colitis)
types of microcytic anemia - ✔✔iron deficiency anemia
blood loss anemia
Thalassemia
lead poisonings
Treatment of iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔increase iron rich foods and
vitamin C to help absorb it
Food high in iron - ✔✔liver
red meat
fish
, beans
raisins
eggs
almonds
green leafy veggies
Food high in vitamin C - ✔✔cauliflower
tomatoes
apples
oranges
Ferritin and TIBC in iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔-decreased ferritin and iron
levels (if iron is low, there is nothing for it to bind to resulting in low ferritin
levels)
-increased TIBC (or transferrin) so that more iron can be delivered since
there is not much to bind to
What does TIBC do? - ✔✔transports iron in blood
What does ferritin do? - ✔✔binds to iron
Most common cause of Iron deficiency anemia - ✔✔GI tract blood loss
Thalassemia - ✔✔blood disorder that causes less hemoglobin
it is inherited
