WITH QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS LATEST UPDATE
A patient is diagnosed with heart failure with normal ejection fraction. This
patient is most likely characterized by a(n) elderly woman without a previous
history of MI
The process responsible for distribution of fluid between the interstitial and
intracellular compartments is osmosis
Which type of leukemia primarily affects children?
ALL (acute lymphoid leukemia)
Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease.
True
Widespread activation of the clotting cascade secondary to massive trauma is
called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Low cardiac output to the kidneys stimulates the release of _____ from
juxtaglomerular cells.
renin
The final step in clot formation is clot retraction.
The majority of cardiac cells that die after myocardial infarction do so
because of apoptosis
,2
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) syndrome is an example of a(n)
deficient immune response.
Red blood cells differ from other cell types in the body, because they have no
cytoplasmic organelles.
Which complication of asthma is life threatening?
Status asthmaticus
Hypotension associated with neurogenic and anaphylactic shock is because of
peripheral pooling of blood.
A major cause of treatment failure in tuberculosis is noncompliance. High
blood pressure increases the workload of the left ventricle, because it
increases
afterload.
Uncompensated metabolic alkalosis would result in increased pH,
increased HCO3-.
Legionnaires disease is characterized by presence of
systemic illness.
The body compensates for metabolic alkalosis by hypoventilation. A
serious complication of deep vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolus.
The ingestion of certain drugs, foods, or chemicals can lead to secondary
hypertension.
True
Pneumocystitis is a term that refers to a fungal pneumonia
secondary to HIV.
, 3
The majority of tachydysrhythmias are believed to occur because of reentry
mechanisms.
Somatic death refers to death of the
entire organism.
A patient diagnosed with chronic compensated heart failure reports that, "My
feet swell if I eat salt but I don't understand why" The nurse's best response is
"Salt holds water in your blood and makes more pressure against your blood
vessels, so fluid leaks out into your tissues and makes them swell." A restrictive
respiratory disorder is characterized by decreased residual volume.
Emphysema results from destruction of alveolar walls and capillaries, which
is because of release of proteolytic enzymes from immune cells. Carbon
monoxide injures cells by reducing oxygen level on hemoglobin.
Which blood pressure reading is considered to be indicative of
prehypertension according to the JNC-7 criteria?
128/82
After evaluation, a child's asthma is characterized as "extrinsic." This means
that the asthma is associated with specific allergic triggers.
In which dysrhythmias should treatment be instituted immediately? Atrial
fibrillation with a ventricular rate of 220 beats/minute Decreased
neuromuscular excitability is often the result of hypercalcemia and
hypermagnesemia.
The person at highest risk for developing hypernatremia is a person who
receives tube feedings because he or she is comatose after a stroke.
