females
B. Hypothyroidism, hypertension, webbing of the neck, amenorrhea, short stature,
infertility, vision issues, aortic value abnormalities
What are two symptoms of Huntington's disease? - ANSWER -1. Genetic defect of
Huntington's gene
2. Lack of control of movements, cognitive decline, depressions, dementia later in
disease, muscle spasticity, speech/swallowing difficulty.
Which three issues would children with ND-PAE (type of FAS) exhibit? - ANSWER -1.
Cognitive defects, behavioral problems, and physical abnormalities.
2. Causes birth defects and developmental disabilities.
3. 3 major impairmets-neurocognition, self-regulation, and adaptive functioning.
4. Facial features, slow growth, delayed development, vision/hearing issues, smaller
head/brain.
Grade 1 sprain - ANSWER -Mild stretching or slight tear of a ligament with little or no
joint instability.
Osteoarthritis - ANSWER -Morning stiffness, swelling, limitedROM, and symmetrical
joint pain in the hips after physical exertion or during cold weather. Herberden's and
Bouchard's nodes noted on fingers.
A pt has burns covering the front of the torso, what is the BSA % according to the rule of
9s - ANSWER -The front of the torso is approximately 18% of the body surface area
(BSA)
Second degree burns - ANSWER -AKA Partial thickness burns. Swelling, pain and
blisters, blanches with pressure.
Small dome-shaped bump covered by superficial blood vessels - ANSWER -
Hemangioma or Basil cell carcinoma
Inflammation - ANSWER -Body automatically reacting to tissue injured by trauma or
bacteria
, What is accomplished by diffusion? - ANSWER -Movement of molecules from an area
of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmotic diarrhea is caused by - ANSWER -non-absorbable substance in the intestine
drawing water into the bowel
BNP - ANSWER -b-type natriuretic peptide; elevated in congestive heart failure
Pleural Effusion - ANSWER -Accumulation of fluid in the pleural space
pH 7.29, Bicarb 25, PaCO2 55
What cause is consistent with these lab values? - ANSWER -Lungs are not ventilating
correctly, retention of carbon dioxide=reduction of pH-caused by COPD, infection, fbo,
and severe asthma
How does the respiratory system compensate for acid-base disturbances? - ANSWER -
By changing the rate and depth of breathing. Increased breathing rate expels CO2 to
reduce acidity (compensates for metabolic acidosis), while decreased breathing rate
retains CO2 to increase acidity (compensates for metabolic alkalosis).
One symptom of acidosis - ANSWER -rapid breathing
What describes a gene when the same allele is inherited from both parents? - ANSWER
-Homozygous
What statement describes the ICF compartment? - ANSWER -The Intracellular Fluid
Compartment (ICF) is the fluid contained within the cells, making up about two-thirds of
the body's total water content.
Which two conditions will cause dehydration and increase water requirements? -
ANSWER -Severe diarrhea and excessive sweating
Transcription - ANSWER -Process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA
Innate Immunity - ANSWER -The body's first line of defense against pathogens,
involving physical, chemical, and cellular defense.
What is the cause of of hypomagnesemia? - ANSWER -Prolonged diarrhea, laxative
abuse, increased renal excretion of magnesium, sepsis, burns, and serious wounds
requiring debridement
What are clinical manifestations of hypernatermia? - ANSWER -Weight gain,
hypertension, dehydration or dehydration, irritability, tachycardia, flushed skin, dry
mucous membranes, and oliguria.
