Undergraduate HIM210 Pathophysiology Exam 1 Practice Problems

Q. A patient is found to have liver disease, resulting in the removal of a lobe of his liver.

Adaptation to the reduced size of the liver leads to ___________ of the remaining liver cells.

A. Metaplasia

B. Organ atrophy

C. Compensatory hyperplasia

D. Physiologic hyperplasia

The answer is C.

Q. An older adult patient comes to the clinic complaining of not being able to do what he

used to be able to. You know that normal changes associated with aging include: (Select all

that apply.)

A. Improved blood flow

B. Slowed metabolic rate

C. Decreased brain weight

D. Improved nerve fiber conduction

E. Less respiratory capacity

Answers are B, C, E.

Q. A 20-year-old college student has presented to her campus medical clinic for a scheduled

Pap smear. The clinician who will interpret the smear will examine cell samples for

evidence of:

A. Changes in cell shape, size, and organization

Q. The parents of a 4-year-old girl have sought care because their daughter has admitted to

chewing and swallowing imported toy figurines that have been determined to be made of

lead. Which of the following blood tests should the care team prioritize?

A. White blood cell levels with differential

B. Red blood cell levels and morphology

C. Urea and creatinine levels

D. Liver function panel

The answer is B.

Because: Lead -> anemia, RBC lysis

You know it is not A because there is no infection involved. C is focused on kidney function,

while D is focused on liver function. These would be important in lead poisoning, but the priority

answer is B because you need first to address the most life-threatening patient needs. The little

girl in this question can go into shock or suffer permanent organ damage if her RBCs are low.

Q. A patient with the severe peripheral vascular disease has developed signs of dry

gangrene on the great toe of one foot. Which of the following pathophysiologic processes

most likely contributed to this diagnosis?

A. Inappropriate activation of apoptosis

B. Bacterial invasion

C. Impaired arterial blood supply

D. Metaplastic cellular changes

The answer is B.

Note: Remember that it is not C because to have gangrene, you must have an infection

Q. Although stress exposure initiates integrated responses by multiple systems, the most

important changes are first activated by which system?
