(LATEST) ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

WITH 400 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND

CORRECT ANSWER S.

Question 1: What is the most common indication for genetic

counseling?

• maternal age
• drug exposure during the first trimester?
• Increased maternal alpha-fetoprotein
• history of previous still birth

CORRECT ANSWER : A) maternal age

The largest group of women who benefit from genetic counseling are those over the age of 35

Question 2: The FNP schedules a 38-year-old primigravida (first

time pregnancy) for an amniocentesis at 16 weeks gestation. The

FNP would explain that the purpose of this procedure is to:

• Assess for the possibility of twins
• Deterime the biliruben level
• Perform genetic studies

• Assess L/S ratio

CORRECT ANSWER : C) Perform genetic studies

This womans age puts her at risk for Down Syndrome

Question 3: In the most commonly seen form of Turner

Syndrome, how is the X chromosome affected?

• Each cell has only one X chromosome?
• Some cells have two X chromsomes, while the other cells

have only one.

• Each cell has two X chromsomes, but part of the

chromosome is missing.

• Each cell has an extra X chromosome

CORRECT ANSWER : A) Each cell has only one X chromsome

45% of persons with Turner Syndrome have monosomy X meaning there is only one copy of the X chromosome in each cell.

Question 4: The FNP is assessing a newborn who is

demonstrating a high-pitched cry, microcephaly, hypertelorism,

hypotonia, and a low birth weight. The FNP would suspect which of the following genetic conditions?

• Down Syndrome
• Cri du chat
• Charge syndrome
• Duncan disease

CORRECT ANSWER : B) Cri du chat

The clinical symptoms of cri du chat syndrome usually include a high-pitched cat-like cry, mental retardation, delayed development, distinctive facial features, small head size (microcephaly), widely-spaced eyes (hypertelorism), low birth weight and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy.

Question 5: When explaining the types of adaptive immunity,

the FNP student is aware that:

• Adaptive immunity is a cell-mediated immune response

which is

• Adaptive immunity is the level of immunity that all persons

are born with.

• Adaptive immunity occurs when antibodies are passed from

the mother to the fetus.

• | Page

• Adaptive immunity occurs through immunization.

CORRECT ANSWER : A) Adaptive immunity is a cell-

mediated immune response which is carried out by T cells and B cells.

There are two types of adaptive immunity responses: the cell-

mediated immune response, which is carried out by T cells, and the humoral immune response, which is controlled by activated B cells and antibodies.

Question 6: A woman has sustained a traumatic brain injury.

She is able to follow simple commands and can manipulate objects. Which term describes this state?

• Coma
• Persistent vegetative state
• Minimally conscious
• Locked-in syndrome

CORRECT ANSWER : C) Minimally conscious

When responses to the environment are seen, the patient is said to be in a minimally conscious state
