Questions and Verified Answers
| Already Graded A+
A patient with a viral illness and severe vomiting has an elevated CO2 level
and a blood pH of 7.53. She is breathing slowly.
What condition does the patient have? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Metabolic alkalosis
What happens in a dehydrated patient? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔ADH levels
increase and the RAAS is activated
,ACE (angiotensin converting enzymes) inhibitors are used to treat
abnormal blood pressure. They prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to
angiotensin II.
What explains how ACE inhibitors work? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The decrease in
the production of angiotensin II keeps blood vessels more dilated. This
lowers blood pressure
An individual carries one sickle cell gene and one typically functional gene.
Their partner has two typically functional copies of the gene.
What is the probability their child will also be a carrier? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔50%
During a routine ultrasound, a woman finds out she is carrying a child with
spina bifida. She had been taking a prenatal vitamin while she was trying to
conceive.
Which two risk factors may have contributed to her child's birth defect? -

, Noah, who has sickle cell anemia, is encouraged by recent gene therapy

Your patient has experienced significant blood loss due to an injury
incurred in a car accident.
Which physiological response is to be expected? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔ADH will
stimulate the kidneys to reabsorb more water
Respiratory rate increases during exercise.
How does this increased respiratory rate allow the body to maintain a
homeostatic pH level? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The increased exhalation of CO2
helps to increase pH.
