A person who overuses magnesium-aluminum antacids for a long period of time is
likely to develop
a. hypokalemia
b. hyperkalemia
c. hypophosphatemia
d. hyperphosphatemia
C
The electrolyte that has a higher concentration in the extracellular fluid that in the
intracellular fluid is ___ ions

A
A person who has hyperparathyroidism is likely to develop
a. hypokalemia
b. hyperkalemia
c. hypocalcemia
d. hypercalcemia
D
The inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid is called _____ pressure
a. capillary hydrostatic
b. interstitial osmotic
c. capillary osmotic
, 3
d. interstitial hydrostatic
C
How do clinical conditions that increase vascular permeability cause edema?
a. through altering the negative charge on the capillary basement membrane,
which enables excessive fluid to accumulate in the interstitial compartment
b. by causing movement of fluid from the vascular compartment into the
intracellular compartment, which leads to cell swelling
c. through leakage of vascular fluid into the interstitial fluid, which increases
interdigital fluid hydrostatic pressure
d. by allowing plasma proteins to leak into the interstitial fluid, which draws in
excess fluid by increasing the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
D
The process responsible for distribution of fluid between the interstitial and
intracellular compartments is
a. filtration
b. osmosis
c. active transport
d. diffusion
B
Which electrolyte imbalances cause increase neuromuscular excitability?
a. hypokalemia and hyperphosphatemia
b. hyperkalemia and hypophosphatemia
