Section A -
1. Describe in your own words the important features of homeostasis
using the following terms in your explanation: negative feedback,
internal environment, receptor, controller and effector. (10
marks)
2a. Provide a brief overview of the endocrine system, explaining
briefly how it exerts an effect on its target cells. (5
marks)
2b. Provide a detailed overview of blood glucose homeostasis which
is controlled by hormones. (10 marks)
3a. Provide a brief overview of the nervous system and its role in
the maintenance of homeostasis. (5 marks)
3b. Provide a detailed overview of the nervous system’s response to
maintaining homeostasis in the event of low blood pressure. (10
marks).
4a. Describe the 4 processes that make up pharmacokinetics and how
these are relevant to our role as nurses (8 marks)
4b. Consider your field of practice, and the clinical concerns that
may require the use of ONE of the identified medications.
Choose one of the drugs below, briefly describe when it may
be indicated and explain the mode of action, pharmacodynamics, of
that drug. Make sure that you paraphrase this information so that
you demonstrate your understanding. (7 marks in total - 2 for
indication and 5 for mode of action).
• Beclomethasone (inhaled corticosteroid)
• Insulin
• Ramipril
• Codeine
