(NURS 6501 Midterm Exam Review)
Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment
Describe cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes
What is the impact of the genetic environment on disease?
Explain how healthy cell activity contributes to good health and
how its breakdown in cellular behavior and alterations to cells lead to health issue.
What are the roles genetics plays in disease processes?
What is the relationship of how cells are involved in disease processes?
Altered Physiology
Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes
Analyze alterations in the immune system that result in disease processes
Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning
What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology?
… association of genes in the development of disease?
What is the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems?
Concepts of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disorders
Common diseases and disorders that impact the Cardiovascular system
Common diseases and disorders that impact the Respiratory System
How these diseases and disorders relate to the pathophysiology of patients
Alterations in pathophysiology in adults and children with cardiovascular and respiratory disorders.
Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems
How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Cardiovascular system?
How does racial/ethnic variables impact physiological functioning in the Respiratory system?
What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology of the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems?
Concepts of Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
Common GI and Hepatobiliary disorders and the pathophysiological nature of these issues in patients:
Ulcers
Hepatitis markers
After HP shots
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Pancreatitis
Liver failure—acute and chronic
Gall bladder disease
Inflammatory bowel disease
Diverticulitis
Jaundice
Bilirubin
Gastrointestinal bleed – upper and lower
Hepatic encephalopathy
Intra-abdominal infections (e.g., appendicitis)
Renal blood flow
Glomerular filtration rate
Kidney stones
Infections – urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis
Acute kidney injury
Renal failure – acute and chronic
How does patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables impact altered physiology?
The pathophysiological structure, function, and alterations in Renal, Urinary, and GI functions as they relate to children and adults.
Concepts of Endocrine Disorders
Common endocrine disorders and their disease processes and the pathophysiological nature of these issues in patients:
Diabetes
Hyper- and hypothyroidism
Adrenal disorders
Parathyroidism (hyper and hypo)
Checks & balances / negative feedback
Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone
Pheochromocytosis
Diabetes insipidus
Diabetic ketoacidosis
How does patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables impact altered physiology?
The pathophysiological mechanics and alterations in hormonal regulations in children and adults
