WGU D236 EXAM REVIEWED
ANSWERS AND THEIR QUESTIONS
oncotic
what type of pressure is due to albumin in the bloodstream
naive T cells
what is the difference between children and adult immunity
osmoreceptors
what is fluid and electrolyte levels regulated by?
Osmoreceptors
what regiulates actions like thirst, ADH, the kidneys and
RAAS?
-excessive loss
-inadequate intake
-combo of both
what are the causes of fluid defecit/dehydration?
-Vomiting
-Diarrhea
-Excessive sweating
-Insufficient water intake
risk factors that lead to fluid deficit/dehydration
fluid defecit/dehydration
s/s include: dry mucous membranes, decreased skin
turgor, low urine output, low BP, tachycardia, confusion
metabolic alkalosis
A pt. has a viral illness, severe vomiting, breathing slowly,
elevated CO2 and blood pH 7.53, what condition does this
pt. have?
, respiratory system by blowing off the CO2
how can a pt. compensate for metabolic alkalosis?
respiratory alkalosis
if pH is elevated and HCO3 is low what condition is this?
Respiratory acidosis
if pH is low and HCO3 is elevated what condition is this?
metabolic acidosis
if pH is low, PCO2 is low and HCO3 is low what condition
is this?
respiratory acidosis
what acid/base imbalance can pulmonary edema lead to?
brain natriuretic peptides (BNP)
what are the hormonal signals that are released by the
brain and heart in response to excess fluid in the body
increases urine output and reduces fluid volume
what happens when natriuretic peptides are released
-hemodialysis uses a machine to pump blood out via
PIV and pumps blood and dialysate in w/ a central line
-peritoneal dialysis injects water and glucose in the
abdominal cavity
-hemodialysis is 3x/week and long, recommended for
acute kidney failure
-peritoneal dialysis is less time consuming and not for
those who are overweight or have severe kidney
failure
differences between peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis
hyponatremia
what electrolyte imbalance has s/s of muscle cramps,
weakness/fatigue, lethargy, confusion, seizures?
Hypernatremia
