STUDY BUNDLE PACKAGE) Questions and Verified
Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct
Ectopic Pregnancy - ANSWERA fertilized egg comes to lie in an area outside of the
uterus, usually a fallopian tube
At 6 to 8 weeks of development, the tube is too small to hold the fetus, the tube
ruptures producing massive internal hemorrhaging and pain
Diabetes mellitus - ANSWERMetabolic disorder in which the body cannot metabolize
glucose
Usually due to a lack of appropriate insulin production
Glucose - ANSWEROne of the basic sugars in the body
Along with oxygen, it is a primary fuel for cellular metabolism
Insulin - ANSWERHormone produced by the pancreas (beta cells)
Enables glucose to enter the cells
Hormone - ANSWERChemical substance produced by a gland
Has special regulatory effects on other body organs and tissues
Type I Diabetes: - ANSWERInsulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM)
Patient does not produce any appreciable insulin Insulin injected daily or multiple
times a day
Onset usually in childhood
Often referred to as "juvenile diabetes" "early onset diabetes"
Type II Diabetes: - ANSWERNon-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM)
Patient produces inadequate amounts of insulin relative to sugar intake
Disease may be controlled by diet or oral hypoglycemics
Also referred to as "adult diabetes" "late onset diabetes"
Make up a greater percentage of the diabetic population than IDDMs
Hyperglycemia - ANSWERLack of insulin causes glucose to build-up in blood in
extremely high levels.
Onset takes days to weeks, not an immediate onset
Hypoglycemia - ANSWERThe body's level of glucose available in the bloodstream are
too low to adequately supply all demand
Gestational Diabetes - ANSWERSome women have encountered a temporary change
in their own body chemistry which has led to a difficulty in maintaining a balance in
blood sugar
,Oral Glucose - ANSWEROne tube is 31g, actual dose given
is 25g (unable to get all product out of tube)
Allergic reaction - ANSWERExaggerated immune response to any substance
Histamines and leukotrienes - ANSWERChemicals released by the immune system
causing inflammation and swelling
Allergen - ANSWERThe substance that causes the allergic reaction
Anaphylaxis - ANSWERAn extreme allergic/immune reaction to an allergen that
involves multiple body systems that is life-threatening
Delirium Tremens - ANSWERThe body begins an adjustment period when the patient
discontinues their regimen of alcohol intoxication after a prolonged period excessive
drinking
Codeine - ANSWERA narcotic drug that is commonly used for suppressing coughs.
Fentanyl - ANSWERa fast-acting narcotic analgesic and sedative that is sometimes
abused for its heroinlike effect.
Heroin - ANSWERa highly addictive analgesic drug derived from morphine, often
used illicitly as a narcotic producing euphoria.
Morphine - ANSWERan analgesic and narcotic drug obtained from opium and used
medicinally to relieve pain.
MS Contin - ANSWERbrand of a time-released formulation of morphine sulfate,
usually taken every twelve hours for chronic pain.
Oxycodone - ANSWERa synthetic analgesic drug which is similar to morphine in its
effects.
Dementia - ANSWERa progressive change in mental status over a period of years
Delirium - ANSWERa rapid, temporary change in cognitive status due to a an outside
factor (i.e. alcohol)
Hypothermia - ANSWERSystemic cooling of the body's core temperature to less than
35oC
Localized Cold Injury - ANSWERA cold-related injury that is isolated to one body part
or body parts
Hyperthermia - ANSWERSystemic warming of the body's core temperature to more
than 38 oC
, Scuba Diving Problems - ANSWERAir Embolism
Decompression Sickness
Conduction - ANSWERTransfer of heat from body to colder object
Convection - ANSWERTransfer of heat through circulating air
Evaporation - ANSWERCooling of body through sweating
Radiation - ANSWERLoss of body heat directly into a colder environment
Respirations - ANSWERLoss of body heat during breathing
Mild Hypothermia symptoms - ANSWERTachycardia
Tachypnea
Red Pale Cyanotic skin
Peripheral and circumoral cyanosis Loss of fine motor function
Anxious / Withdrawn
Moderate Hypothermia symptoms - ANSWERConfused / Sleepy
Loss of all motor coordination Bradypnea
Bradycardi
Severe Hypothermia symptoms - ANSWERCardiac arrhythmias
Unresponsive
Respiratory depression / arrest
Mammalian Diving Reflex - ANSWERA patient is completely submerged in cold water
causing the body to take significant defensive mechanisms to protect itself
This causes a decrease in metabolic oxygen demand, therefore the 4 to 6 minute
guideline does NOT apply in these circumstances
Superficial Frostbite - ANSWERThe skin has frozen due to exposure to cold, while the
deeper tissues are unaffected
Deep Frostbite - ANSWERTissues affected are frozen causing permanent tissue
damage by
The formation of ice crystals in the tissues A change in electrolyte balance in the
tissues
Heat Cramps - ANSWERAn electrolyte imbalance / dehydration causes painful muscle
cramping (usually in lower extremities)
Heat Exhaustion - ANSWERPathophysiology:
The body's ability to maintain normal temperature is impaired by:
Working in a warm or hot environment for extended periods
