Nurs 6501 Midterm Exam Review Guide (Weeks 1-6) Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment 1. Describe cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes. 2. What is the impact of t he g... enetic environment on disease? 3. Explain how healthy cell activity contributes to good health and how its breakdown in cellular behavior and alterations to cells lead to health issues. 4. What are the roles genetics plays in disease processes? See answer for question 2. 5. What is the relationship of how cells are involved in disease processes? Altered Physiology 6. Evaluate cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes. 7. Analyze alterations in the immune system that result in disease processes. Type II (tissue-specific) hypersensitivity reactions are caused by five possible mechanisms: Type III (immune complex–mediated) hypersensitivity reactions are caused by the formation of Type IV (cell-mediated) hypersensitivity reactions are caused by either cytotoxic T lymphocytes SLE is a chronic, multisystem, inflammatory disease and is one of the most serious of the Hyperacute graft rejection (preexisting antibody) is immediate and rare, acute rejection is cell 8. Identify racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning. Will list these with individual disease processes. 9. What is the impact of patient characteristics on disorders and altered physiology? Will list with individual disease processes. 10. What is the association of genes in the development of disease? Genetic diseases caused by single genes usually follow autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive modes of inheritance. Pedigree charts are an important tool in the analysis of modes of inheritance. 11. [Show More]
