What ABG value is consistent with a patient in
respiratory distress breathing 33 breaths per minute? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ PCO2 15, indicating hyperventilation
and respiratory alkalosis.
What is the likely cause of disorientation and lethargy in
a patient with a sodium level of 115 mEq/L? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ Water has shifted into the neurons,
causing them to swell.
Which electrolyte imbalance should be monitored in a
patient experiencing dehydration? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Hyperkalemia, due to increased serum osmolality
pulling potassium into the intravascular space.
What is the chance that a baby will inherit an autosomal
recessive disease if one parent has the disease and the
other is heterozygous? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 25%
chance of having the disease.

How many pairs of chromosomes are present in each
human cell? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 23 pairs, totaling 46
chromosomes.
What are the first 22 pairs of chromosomes known as?
- .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Autosomes.
What genetic information does the 23rd pair of
chromosomes determine? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ The
genetic information for gender.
What chromosome pair do females have? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ Two X chromosomes (XX).
What chromosome pair do males have? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ One X and one Y chromosome (XY).
What process separates chromosomes into two
identical sets during cell division? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Mitosis or meiosis.

What is the significance of chromosomes during cell
division? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ They transfer genetic
information to daughter cells.
What happens to neurons during hypernatremia? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ Water shifts out of the cell into the
intravascular space, causing dehydration of the
neurons.
What is the pH value indicative of respiratory alkalosis?
- .....ANSWER ...✔✔ A pH greater than 7.45.
What is the expected effect of hyperventilation on CO2
levels? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ It results in low PCO2
levels.
What is the relationship between serum osmolality and
potassium during dehydration? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Increased serum osmolality causes potassium to shift
into the intravascular space.
What is the definition of hyperpolarization in relation to
action potentials? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ It is when the
action potential becomes more negative, making it less
likely to fire.

What does hypopolarization refer to in the context of
action potentials? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ It is when the
action potential becomes less negative, making it more
likely to fire.
What is the clinical significance of a sodium level of 115
mEq/L? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ It indicates severe
hyponatremia, leading to neurological symptoms.
What is the typical clinical presentation of a patient with
hyperkalemia? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Symptoms may
include muscle weakness, fatigue, and cardiac
arrhythmias.
What is the primary cause of neurologic symptoms
associated with sodium imbalances? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ Fluid shifting into or out of the neurons.
What is the expected pH value for a patient
experiencing respiratory acidosis? - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ A pH less than 7.35.
