NUR2063: Exam one
Etiology - Answer--cause or reason for the event.
- May include agents, age, gender, health, nutritional status, genetics, etc.
Iatrogenic - Answer--unintended effect of a medical treatment
Pathogenesis - Answer--development and evolution of a disease
- Affected by time, quantity, location, and morphologic changes
Homeostasis - Answer--- Dynamic process
- The relative consistency of the body's internal processes
- Give and take system
- Equilibrium is necessary for all cells
Cachexia - Answer--- Extreme weight loss disorder
Benign tumor - Answer--- Slow, progressive, localized, well defined, resembles host (more
differentiated), grows by expansion, does not usually cause death
Malignant tumor - Answer--- Rapid growing, spreads (metastasis) quickly, fatal, highly undifferentiated
Signs and symptoms of hyperphosphatemia - Answer--- Rarely seen alone. Similar to mg hypo and ca
hyper. Has to do with nerves and muscles
- Spasms and twitches
, Metastasis - Answer--- the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from a primary
site of cancer.
- Invading nearby structures
Hypocalcemia symptoms - Answer--- dysrhythmias, electrocardiogram changes, increased bleeding
tendencies, anxiety, confusion, depression, irritability, fatigue, lethargy, paresthesia, increased deep
tendon reflexes, tremors, muscle spasms, seizures, laryngeal spasms, increased bowel sounds,
abdominal cramping, and positive Trousseau's and Chvostek's signs
stages of carcinogenesis - Answer--1. Initiation: agent intro
2. Promotion: uncontrolled growth
3. Progression: permanent malignant changes
Primary prevention - Answer--do not have the disease and are trying to prevent it (vaccines)
Secondary Prevention - Answer--Disease detection (yearly physical)
Tertiary Prevention - Answer--trying to prevent problems from the disease (rehab)
Function of the Mitochondria - Answer--- Power plant
- Aerobic respiration, ATP
- Contains own DNA and ribosomes
Osmosis - Answer--movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low
concentration to high concentration.
Diffusion - Answer--net movement of anything from a region of higher concentration to a region of
lower concentration.
