NUR 376 Patho Final Exam Questions
and Detailed Answers
Immunodeficiency ✅Immune system weakened to extent that it cannot destroy foreign
invaders and antigens can overwhelm the body.
Immunocompetence ✅refers to an individual's ability to protect oneself from infectious
agents due to a strong immune system.
Immunosuppression ✅indicates that there is a defective immune system that is putting
the pt at risk for infection.
Opportunistic Infection ✅an infection that was caused by a microorganism that
flourished because of its host's deficient immune system.
Hospital Acquired of Health-Care acquired infection ✅when a pt's infection is caused
by microorganisms that originated within the clinical environment.
Difficult to tx due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Type 1: Immediate hypersensitivity ✅allergic reaction
Type 2: Cytotoxic hypersensitivity ✅mediated by Igs that target antigen on cells and
cause cell destruction.
Incomplete blood transfusion
Type 3: Immune Complex hypersensitivity ✅antigen combines with Ig within circulation
and complexes are then deposited into tissues.
SLE, autoimmune disorders
Type 4: Delayed hypersensitivity ✅initiated by T-cells that have previous exposure to
antigen
Dermatitis from exposure to poison ivy
Key lab values in Infections ✅WBC 4,000-10,000 cells/mcL
Neutrophils: 40%-80% of WBCs / elevation = bacterial infection
Lymphocytes: 20%-40% of WBCs / elevation = viral infection
Eosinophils: 1%-7% of WBCs / elevation = allergic reaction
Basophils: 0%-2% of WBCs / elevation = Parasite or allergic reaction
Monocytes: 2% - 10% of WBCs / elevation = Inflammation, chronic infections,
autoimmune disease
, How can you determine inflammation vs. infection from a CBC? ✅You would look at
the differences in the WBCs on the CBC, which provides info about the % of different
types of white blood cells.
An increase in neutrophils (makeup 40%-80% of WBCs) can be indicative of a bacterial
infection.
An increase in monocytes (macrophages) (2%-10% of WBCs) can be indicative of
inflammation / autoimmune disease.
Hypervolemia ✅Excess fluid in ISF & ICF caused by increased hydrostatic pressure
causing edema
Can be caused by: High Salt diet, heart failure, kidney failure, or liver failure.
Hypernatremia ✅High sodium content of the blood. Raises solute content (more salt),
in turn, raising OSMOTIC PRESSURE.
Osmotic pressure ✅The pressure exerted by the solutes in solution, causes water to
shift from ICF into the ECF -> Causing cellular dehydration.
ECF gains fluid > Secreted by the kidneys > more dehydration!
Polyuria ✅excess urine being excreted.
This continues until fluid is replenished appropriately
(Part of hypernatremia)
Hypovolemia ✅Is caused by dehydration; a diminished level of circulating blood
volume that increases the osmolarity of blood.
Hydrostatic pressure ✅the force exerted by the blood confined within the blood vessels
or heart chamber.
Isotonic ✅No fluid shifts- solutions on both sides are at equilibrium. Equal osmotic
pressure. No "tug of war".
Example- Human blood.
Caution: Too much isotonic fluids can cause fluid volume overload
Monitor: BP due to HTN crisis. Risk for CVA stroke.
Ex: 0.9 % sodium chloride (NS), lactated ringers (LR)
Use: Rehydrate body, increase low BP, blood transfusions, blood loss, DKA, HHNS(risk
for type 2 diabetes patients)- when blood sugar high
Hypertonic ✅HIGH & dry- Higher osmolarity than body fluids- very thick, very salty,
more solutes, less water. Fluid drawn out of the cell.
Monitor- BP, HTN crisis
