Rasmussen Pathophysiology Exam 1 questions
with verified answers
5 P's of compartment syndrome Ans✓✓✓ pain, pallor, pulselessness, paralysis,
paresthesia
Acidosis (acid base balancing) Ans✓✓✓ Acidosis =
ph < 7.35
CO2 > 45
HCO3 <22
acquired immunity Ans✓✓✓ Immunity that is present only after exposure and is
highly specific.
active immunity Ans✓✓✓ A form of acquired immunity in which the body
produces its own antibodies against disease-causing antigens.
active transport Ans✓✓✓ Energy-requiring process that moves material across a
cell membrane against a concentration difference
Albinism Ans✓✓✓ a genetic condition characterized by a deficiency or the
absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and irises of the eyes (little to no melanin
production)
Alkalosis (acid base balancing) Ans✓✓✓ PH > 7.45
CO2 < 35
HCO3 < 22
,Anasarca Ans✓✓✓ generalized edema
antibodies Ans✓✓✓ Proteins that attach to antigens, keeping them from
harming the body (mark the microbe or toxin as being foreign. The antibodies
then mark these antigens for destruction)
Apoptosis Ans✓✓✓ Suicide of cells
atrophy Ans✓✓✓ the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any progressive
decline or failure; to waste away
basal cell carcinoma Ans✓✓✓ -Most common
-Develops from abnormal growth of the cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis
-Rarely metastasizes
Bicarbonate value normal range (second most abundant anion in blood)
Ans✓✓✓ 23-30 mEg/L
Body Defense Mechanisms Ans✓✓✓ skin, antibodies, macrophages, lymphocytes
burn complications Ans✓✓✓ local infection (particularly Staphylococcus
infection), sepsis, hypovolemia, shock, hypothermia, respiratory problems,
eschar, scarring, and contractures
, Burns Ans✓✓✓ Injury that can result from exposure to a thermal or nonthermal
source
Calcium normal range Ans✓✓✓ 4-5 mEq/L (Has inverse relationship with
phosphorus) (Mostly found in the bone and teeth) Plays a role in blood clotting,
hormone secretion, receptor functions, nerve transmission, and muscular
contraction (Main source is dietary intake (vitamin D aids absorption)
Causes of osteoarthritis Ans✓✓✓ -Heredity
-Obesity
-Injury
-Joint overuse
causes of osteoporosis Ans✓✓✓ -Inactivity
-Nutritional deficits: ↓ Calcium , Vit. D, B, & B-12 & Folic Acid
-Lack of weight bearing activity
-Elderly
-Family history
-Hormonal changes
-Lifestyle choices: Tobacco smoking & Excess alcohol
-Medications
CAUTION to detect cancer Ans✓✓✓ Change in elimination habits
A sore that doesn't heal
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Thickening or lump in tissue
