QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT DETAILED
SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE
How do kidneys compensate for alkalosis -ANS--retain H and excrete
HCO3
Untreated acidosis leads to an increase in which electrolyte? -ANS--
Potassium
West Nile Virus -ANS--Transmitted through the bite of an infected
mosquito. Severe signs and symptoms; high fever, headache and stiff
neck
Lyme disease -ANS--Tick-borne disease caused by the spirochete
Borrelia burgdorferi.
Erythema infectiosum -ANS--a febrile upper respiratory illness in a
child followed by the sudden appearance of red, flushed cheeks, "fifth
disease"

,Obesity ad diabetes are risk factors for having a child with _____. -
ANS--Spina bifida
Trousseau's sign -ANS--arm/carpal spasm associated with
hypocalcemia
Cause and sign of spina bifida -ANS--results from failure of neural
tube to close. sign - fluid filled sac on lower back.
hemophilia is more common in -ANS--males
Prenatal exposure to alcohol includes -ANS--ND-PAE, decreased
brain function, FAS
Connective vs muscle tissue disorders -ANS--Connective- RA,
Scleroderma, Lupus
Muscle - MS, Muscular dystrophy, Myasthenia Gravia
Describe Lupus -ANS--Inflammatory disorder characterized by joint
pain and butterfly rash
Page | 2
, Describe Myasthenia Gravis -ANS--It is an autoimmune disorder
where antibodies attack own Ach receptors. This causes weakness of
skeletal muscles over the course of the day, along with ptosis, double
vision, and difficulty swallowing.
Describe how your body responds to an infection. -ANS--T cells
produce cytokines, which stimulate B cells. B cells produce
antibodies.
Identify role of DNA changes in congenital abnormalities. -ANS--
Mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities
How does development disrupts congenital abnormalities? -ANS--
Alterations of DNA
Describes factors that disrupt homeostasis and how disruptions affect
wellbeing. -ANS--(ex) Fluid and electrolyte shifts can cause n/v or
dysrhythmias.
Explain RAAS -ANS--Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
1. Reduce blood flow causes kidneys to release renin
