ACTUAL EXAM ALL 150 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A +
1) A decrease in the serum sodium level is typically followed , -
ANSWER>>by a decrease in serum osmolality (example <270 mOsm/L)
2) metabolic acidosis results in hyperkalemia as H ions are shifted into the
cell - ANSWER>>to raise the pH and potassium leaves the cell and enters
the bloodstream
3) Catecholamines are released from - ANSWER>>adrenal medulla
4) steroid hormones (cortisol and aldosterone) are released from -
ANSWER>>adrenal cortex
5) are exchanged for potassium ions during alkalosis or acidosis -
ANSWER>>are exchanged for potassium ions during alkalosis or acidosis
6) Nerve route injury could lead to - ANSWER>>allodynia (pain that is
associated with a nonnoxious stimulus)
7) Potassium - ANSWER>>is necessary for neuromuscular and
cardiovascular function
8) Calcium helps to regulate muscle contraction and relaxation -
ANSWER>>helps to regulate muscle contraction and relaxation
, 9) hypercalcemia - ANSWER>>contributes to muscle weakness and coma
10) hypocalcemia - ANSWER>>contributes to muscle irritability and tetany
11) Magnesium - ANSWER>>helps with carbohydrate and protein
metabolism, affects neuromuscular function and produces vasodilation
12) Hypokalemia - ANSWER>>lowers the resting membrane potential and
makes cells less irritable which could result in an ileus.
13) Hyperkalemia - ANSWER>>may cause diarrhea, irritability, muscle
weakness and EKG changes
14) Hyperkalemia - ANSWER>>tall tented T waves, absent p waves,
prolonged PR interval and QRS duration
15) Hypokalemia - ANSWER>>may cause muscle weakness, EKG changes
(inverted T waves and ST depression), a weak irregular pulse,
16) Hypokalemia - ANSWER>>paralytic ileus, tachydysrhythmias (premature
ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia), constipation and u waves
17) hypernatremia - ANSWER>>thirst, dry mucous membranes, lethargy,
restlessness, tachycardia and
18) hypertension
19) hypocalcemia - ANSWER>>tetany, muscle twitching, bronchospasms,
laryngeal spasms, seizures and hyperirritability
