Question 2
1 out of 1 points


A patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) shows tall, peaked T waves. What lab value or assessmentwould the
healthcare professional correlate with this finding?
- Hyperkalemia clinically manifests with cardiovascular changes such as bradycardia,
hypotension, and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes that include missed P waves, tall T
waves, prolonged PR intervals, and wide QRS complexes.
Question 6
1 out of 1 points


Physiologic pH is maintained at approximately 7.4 because bicarbonate (HCO 3) and carbonicacid (H
2CO 3) exist in what ratio?
- 20 HCO3 to 1 H2CO3 – 20:1 ratio

Question 7
1 out of 1 points


A major determinant of the resting membrane potential necessary for the transmission of nerveimpulses
is the ratio between what?
1

,- The ratio between intracellular potassium (K+) and extracellular potassium

Question 8
1 out of 1 points


What advantage is derived from human genome sequencing on genetic disorders? (Select allthat apply.)
- Identification of the mutated gene; Diagnosis of the existing disorder; Appropriate treatment.(The
complete human genome sequence will facilitate gene identification, diagnosis, and disease
treatment.)

Question 9
1 out of 1 points


How do free radicals cause cell damage?
- Free radicals can cause damage to parts of cells such as proteins, DNA,
and cell membranes by stealing their electrons through a process called oxidation.


Question 3
1 out of 1 points


What does the loss of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during ischemia cause cells to do?
- Swell because of the influx of sodium chloride (NaCl). A reduction in ATP levels causesthe
plasma membrane's sodium-potassium (Na+-K+) pump and sodium-calcium exchange to
fail, which leads to an intracellular accumulation of sodium and calciumand diffusion of
potassium out of the cell. Sodium and water can then freely enter the cell, and cellular
swelling results.

Question 4
1 out of 1 points


An amniocentesis indicates a neural tube defect when an increase in which protein is evident?
- Alpha fetoprotein
