preinvasive epithelial malignant tumors of glandular or squamous cells-
cervix -
CORRECT ANSWER -Carcinoma in situ
Multiple organs including brain - CORRECT ANSWER -Lung ca metastasis
Liver, lungs - CORRECT ANSWER -Colorectal ca metastasis
Liver, lungs, brain - CORRECT ANSWER -Testicular ca metastasis
Bones (especially lumbar spine), liver - CORRECT ANSWER -Prostate ca
metastasis
Liver, bones, lymphatics - CORRECT ANSWER -Head and neck ca
metastasis
Peritoneal surfaces, diaphragm, omentum, liver - CORRECT ANSWER
Ovarian ca metastasis
Lungs - CORRECT ANSWER -Sarcoma metastasis
,In transit lymphatics, lung, liver, brain, GI tract - CORRECT ANSWER
Melanoma metastasis
Local invasion, followed by invasion of surrounding tissues. Cells then may
invade blood and lymphatic vessels. They must survive in circulation, then
enter and survive in a new location. Then the cells can multiply and form a
new tumor. - CORRECT ANSWER -Mechanisms of ca metastasis
T= tumor size >/= correlates with metastatic ability
N= whether lymph nodes are involved
M= extra nodal involvement (liver, lungs) - CORRECT ANSWER -TNM
staging system
In venous system- 20% - CORRECT ANSWER -Intravascular fluid
compartment
The measure of solute concentration in a fluid.
280-295 mOsm - CORRECT ANSWER -Osmolality
Surrounds the cells and bathes them in nutrients- 20% - CORRECT
ANSWER -Interstitial fluid compartment
Within the cells- 40% uk - CORRECT ANSWER -Intracellular fluid
compartment
Passive- the movement of water from an area of low concentration of solute
to one of higher concentration - CORRECT ANSWER -Osmosis
,Pulling- the amount of pressure or force that is exerted by solute molecules
of a
given compartment - CORRECT ANSWER -Osmotic pressure
Blood pressure- pushes fluid outside of the vessels, the force of fluid
against the walls of a compartment- venous obstruction, Na and water
retention -
CORRECT ANSWER -Hydrostatic pressure
Colloid pressure keeps water inside the compartment, attracts water from
interstitial space back into the capillary- losses or diminished albumin -
CORRECT ANSWER -Oncotic pressure
The amount of blood within the arterial space- ECF changes will cause
changes in the EABV in the same direction - CORRECT ANSWER -Effective
arterial blood volume
Activated by low blood volume, triggers release of renin which converts
angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1. ACE converts angiotensin 1 to
angiotensin which causes arterial vasoconstriction and stimulates release
of aldosterone. Aldosterone stimulates renal Na reabsorption and K+
excretion. Water is retained, less urine is produced, blood volume
increases. - CORRECT ANSWER -Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System
ANP and BNP- released by heart- works opposite RAAS to decrease blood
volume, promotes urinary excretion of Na and water - CORRECT
ANSWER -Natriuretic hormones
Dehydration- intake is not enough for body's needs
, C.M. Poor skin turgor, dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, sunken
fontanelles, decreased urine output, fatigue - CORRECT ANSWER -Fluid
volume deficit
Fluid intake exceeds body's needs
C.M. Edema, rales, HTN, weight gain, bounding pulses, intake> output, JVD,
restlessness or anxiety - CORRECT ANSWER -Fluid volume excess
Accumulation of fluid within the interstitial space- venous obstruction, Na
and water retention
C.M. can be localized or dependent, tightness of skin, facial swelling, rales,
decreased wound healing, increased risk of pressure sores, weight gain -
CORRECT ANSWER -Edema
K+ enters cell with glucose transport. Monitor Type II DM for hypokalemia -
CORRECT ANSWER -insulin effect on K+
albuterol, beta blockers, and alpha adrenergic antagonists cause K+
movement into the cell. Alpha adrenergic receptors shift K+ out of the cell -
CORRECT
ANSWER -Adrenergic agents effect on K+
hyperosmolality causes water to shift out of cell via osmosis. K+ will also
shift out, causing hyperkalemia. - CORRECT ANSWER -Osmolality effect
on K+
intracellular K+ is released into bloodstream - CORRECT ANSWER -Cell
lysis effect on K+
