a. Both parents are carriers
6. Describe the chromosomal defect related to Prader Willi syndrome.
a. Imprinting, Deletion, 4mb of chromosomes 15, inherited from Father short structure,
hypotonia, small hands and feet, obese, mild to moderate mental retardation,
hypogonadism.
7. What mechanism can cause hypernatremia
a. Caused by loss of H20, DM Insufficient H20 intake,
b. Hypertonic solution
c. Over secretion of Aldosterone

a. Excess diet or intravenous intake, RF, K+ sparing diuretics, hypoaldosteronism, shift from ICF
to ECF, metabolic acidosis
9. What are likely causes of respiratory acidosis
a. Depress of respiratory center, disorder of the lung parenchyma, alveolar hypoventilation C02
is retained increase in H+, Co2 excess in blood
b. Over sedation, brainstem trauma
c. Pulmonary edema, emphysema, asthma, bronchitis
