SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1
(Short answer questions for Final Exam will be taken from this list)
1. Explain the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, complications and
prevention of DVT.
Pathophysiology:
The clotting of blood in a deep vein of lower extremities.
Risk factors:
Venous stasis, most important (decreased flow rate of the blood) >
prolonged immobility, heart failure.
Endothelial damage > intravenous catheters or injections.
Hypercoagulability (increased tendency of the blood to clot) > oral
contraceptives, smoking, obesity, increased RBC or platelet count.
Clinical features:
Around 50% asymptomatic.
Swelling, warmth, redness and tenderness, pain or dull ache along the
vein.
Cyanosis.
Complications:
Pulmonary embolism.
Prevention:
Continued activity for muscle pump.
Elevation of legs.
Address risk factors if possible.
Compression stockings.
Anticoagulants.
2. Define primary and secondary hypertension and discuss clinical features and
complications of chronic hypertension.
Primary hypertension:
The most common form of hypertension, results from a complex interaction of
genes and environmental factors.
Secondary hypertension:
A consequence of or specific disease or abnormality.
Chronic hypertension:
