Hodgkin's lymphoma - (correct answer) *pain in neck after drinking alcohol
painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin.
if lymph nodes were to be swollen and sitting on top of the superior vena cava what would the symptoms be? -
(correct answer) swelling of the face, neck, upper body
lymphedema - (correct answer) swelling or accumulation of the fluid due to blockage in the lymphatic system often
seen in pt who had them removed or cancer pt.
*due to blockage
lymphadenitis - (correct answer) enlargement in one or more lymph nodes usually due to infection *cellulitis-
painful
lymphadenopathy - (correct answer) enlarged lymph nodes that become *palpable and tender
a patient was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. what type of cells does the provider know is a cancer of? - (correct
answer) lymphocytes
know the values of
*Ph
*PCO2
*HCO3 - (correct answer) 7.35-745
35-45
22-26
what is R.O.ME. - (correct answer) Respiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal
pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream - (correct answer) oncotic
difference between children and adult immunity - (correct answer) Native T Cells
respiratory acidosis causes - (correct answer) CO2 high PH low
CNS depression
COPD
*hypoventilation
respiratory acidosis treatment - (correct answer) improve ventilation (intubation)
admin bicarb
respiratory alkalosis causes - (correct answer) CO2 low, PH high
hyperventilation
hypoxemia
respiratory alkalosis treatment - (correct answer) CO2 rebreather mask
metabolic acidosis causes - (correct answer) PH Low, due to HCO3 low <22
, *DKA,
severe diarrhea, renal failure, shock
metabolic acidosis treatment - (correct answer) sodium bicarb
metabolic alkalosis causes - (correct answer) PH high due to HCO3 high >26
excessive vomiting
metabolic alkalosis treatment - (correct answer) electrolyte and fluid replacement
*administer vomiting meds
what happens to dehydrated pts? - (correct answer) ADH levels are high and RAAS is activated
dehydration /fluid deficit s/s - (correct answer) *headache, dizziness, weakness, confusion, bad breath, dry mouth,
dark urine
hypoventilation - (correct answer) the body's carbon dioxide level rises causing the build up of acid and too little
oxygen.
*respiratory acidosis
*equilibrium shift to right
*HCO3 high
*PH low
hyperventilation - (correct answer) exhale too much carbon dioxide as a result carbon dioxide concentration in the
blood is reduced and bicarb acid equilibrium shifts to the left
*respiratory alkalosis
*HCO3 low
*PH high
Hemodyalysis - (correct answer) takes blood out of the body via a PIV and puts it back into the body through a
central line
*4-6 hours a few times per week
*artificial Kidney
CRRT - (correct answer) cleanses blood in a 24 hour cycle
peritoneal dialysis - (correct answer) does not use a machine but injects a solution of water and glucose into the
abdominal cavity
Sodium normal levels - (correct answer) 135-145 mmol/L
Hyponatremia <135 Manifestations - (correct answer) *goes to Brain and Muscle
Muscle cramps
weakness
fatigue
abdominal cramps
lethargy
confusion
seizures
Hypernatremia >145 Manifestations - (correct answer) Signs of fluid deficit
*Cellular Dehydration
thirst
