Pathophysiology: Concepts of Human Disease (Sorenson)
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Basics of Pathophysiology

1) Which pathophysiological concept should the nurse consider when developing a plan of care
for a patient with myocardial ischemia?
A) There is a decrease in the amount of oxygen and glucose reaching the myocardium.
D
B) There is a lack of oxygen reaching the myocardium, but the supply of glucose is adequate.
C) There is a lack of glucose reaching the myocardium, but the supply of oxygen is adequate.
D) There is a complete lack of both oxygen and glucose reaching the myocardium.
Answer: A
Explanation: A) A decrease in blood flow to the myocardium means that there is a decrease in
O
the amount of oxygen and glucose to the heart muscle. A related term is hypoxia, which refers to
a lack of oxygen to tissue. This can occur from disruptions of the respiratory system.
B) A decrease in blood flow to the myocardium means that there is a decrease in the amount of
oxygen and glucose to the heart muscle. A related term is hypoxia, which refers to a lack of
oxygen to tissue. This can occur from disruptions of the respiratory system.
C) A decrease in blood flow to the myocardium means that there is a decrease in the amount of
oxygen and glucose to the heart muscle. A related term is hypoxia, which refers to a lack of
oxygen to tissue. This can occur from disruptions of the respiratory system.
N
D) A decrease in blood flow to the myocardium means that there is a decrease in the amount of
oxygen and glucose to the heart muscle. A related term is hypoxia, which refers to a lack of
oxygen to tissue. This can occur from disruptions of the respiratory system.

2) The nurse is assessing a patient's risk factors for disease at an annual physical examination.
Which question would the nurse ask to assess lifestyle risk factors?
A) "Does your neighborhood have parks and sidewalks?"
B) "Tell me about the health of your parents."
C) "What is the highest level of education that you completed?"
D) "How would you describe your diet?"
D
Answer: D
Explanation: A) Risk factors emerge from a number of sources. One is the genetic blueprint
provided to each of us at birth, and another is lifestyle factors. Lifestyle factors reflect decisions
about diet, exercise, smoking, and other variables that influence health. Social determinants of
health are factors related to where one lives, educational level, income, availability of fresh food,
O
public transportation, and a number of other considerations that can affect health.
B) Risk factors emerge from a number of sources. One is the genetic blueprint provided to each
of us at birth, and another is lifestyle factors. Lifestyle factors reflect decisions about diet,
exercise, smoking, and other variables that influence health. Social determinants of health are
factors related to where one lives, educational level, income, availability of fresh food, public
transportation, and a number of other considerations that can affect health.

3) The occupational health nurse is assessing a manufacturing plant for chemical agents that may
cause disease in the employees. The nurse should be alert for:
A) stress levels.
B) helminths.
C) radiation.
D) lead.
D
Answer: D
Explanation: A) Endogenous disease etiologies arise from within the body. Examples are
abnormal immune reactions, gene mutations, coagulation defects, stress, and metabolic
abnormalities.
B) Etiologic agents may be exogenous, that is, arising from the external environment, such as
O
chemical, physical, and infectious agents. Examples of infectious etiologic agents are bacteria,
viruses, fungi, and helminths.
C) Etiologic agents may be exogenous, that is, arising from the external environment, such as
chemical, physical, and infectious agents. Examples of physical etiologic agents are extremes in
environmental temperatures, radiation, trauma, and electricity.
D) Etiologic agents may be exogenous, that is, arising from the external environment, such as
chemical, physical, and infectious agents. Examples of chemical etiologic agents are alcohol,
lead, mercury, air pollutants, carbon monoxide, pesticides, and adverse effects of medications.
