voiding again into the collection container.
a cough is productive if Correct Answers it raises sputum up
from the airways
acute renal failure (ARF) Correct Answers an acute rise in the
serum creatinine level of 25% or more. may be caused by
inadequate blood flow to the kidney, injury to the glomerulus or
tubules, or obstruction of kidney outflow
,AED Correct Answers automatic external defibrillator
affects of obesity on respirations Correct Answers increased
risk of respiratory infections, and sleep apnea
affects of poor nutrition on respirations Correct Answers a loss
of ventilator muscle strength
affects of pregnancy on the respiratory system Correct Answers
maternal metabolism increases by 15% increasing the need of
O2, the uterus pushes up against the diaphragm limiting its
movement causing the respiratory rate to increase,
airway resistance Correct Answers the resistance to airflow
within the airways
alcohols effect on urine production Correct Answers impairs the
release of ADH resulting in increased urine production
allergy Correct Answers a hypersensitivity to an antigen
alveolar-capillary membrane disorders Correct Answers a
change in the consistency of the lung tissue, especially at the
alveolar level
Ex) pulmonary edema of fibrosis
alveoli Correct Answers air sacs with thin walls surrounded by
a fine network of capillaries
amount of urine bladder can hold Correct Answers 500mL
,an oxygen concentrator Correct Answers removes nitrogen
from room air and concentrates O2. can deliver flow up to
4L/min to create FIO2 of ~36%. concentrations are higher at
lower flow rates
anemia Correct Answers an abnormally low level of red blood
cells, hemoglobin, or both
Anesthetic agents Correct Answers can decrease blood pressure
and glomerular filtration, thus decreasing urine formation
angina pectoris Correct Answers transient chest pain due to

with kidney failure or congestive heart failure. when output is
less than 100mL in 24 hours
apex of the heart Correct Answers the tip
apnea Correct Answers the absence of breathing
Arterial Blood gas (ABG) Correct Answers measures the levels
of O2 and CO2 in arterial blood, PO2, PCO2, SaO2, HCO3
arterial vascular abnormalities Correct Answers disrupt blood
flow of oxygenated blood to tissues.
arteries and arterioles Correct Answers carry oxygenated blood,
have thick elastic walls with smooth muscles that enable them to
respond to blood's pressure
aspirin's affect on the cardiovascular system Correct Answers
fights pain and inflammation associated with heart disease by
blocking the production of prostaglandin and thereby the
production of clots
atelectasis Correct Answers collapsed alveoli
