between diseases that are caused by abnormal molecules and diseases that cause disease.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Which of the following patients most clearly demonstrates the consequences of molecules
j j j j j j j j j j j j
that cause disease?
j j j
A) A 31-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia who is receiving a transfusion of
j j j j j j j j j j j j
packed red blood cells

j j j j j j j j j j j
HIV positive. j j
Ans: D j

PCP is an example of the effect of a molecule that directly contributes to disease. Sickle
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
cell anemia, familial hypercholesterolemia, and cystic fibrosis are all examples of the
j j j j j j j j j j j j
effects of abnormal molecules.

j j j j j j j j j j j
C) A client who was admitted with the effects of methyl alcohol poisoning
j j j j j j j j j j j
D) A client with multiple skeletal injuries secondary to a motor vehicle accident
j j j j j j j j j j j
Ans: B

Feedback:
Pathogenesis refers to the progressive and evolutionary course of disease, such as the
j j j j j j j j j j j j
increasing ammonia levels that accompany liver disease. Bacteria, poisons, and
j j j j j j j j j j
traumatic injuries are examples of etiologic factors.

, 5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has
j j j j j j j j j j
arrived to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient
j j j j j j j j j j j j
verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
disease?
j
A) “All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heartattacks.”
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
B) “My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
French fries every day.”
j j j j
C) “Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it j j j j j j j j j j j j
easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.”
j j j j j j j j j j j
D) “If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.”
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
Ans: C j
Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the
j j j j j j j j j j j
pathogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process froma
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease. Risk
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j
factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of exercise.

D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.
j j j j j j
Ans: B

Feedback:
Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
j j j j j j j j j j
such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
j j j j j j j j j j j j
and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
