A young female became agitated and apprehensive, and she eventually lost
consciousness. at the hospital emergency room, the following lab values were
obtained: plasma sodium = 137 mEq/L, plasma potassium = 5.0 mEq/L, blood pH =
7.53, serum CO2 = 22 mm Hg, plasma bicarb = 24 mEq/L
what is her immediate diagnosis?

-metabolic acidosis
-metabolic alkalosis - Correct Answer-respiratory alkalosis
which would not shift the blood pH toward alkalosis?
-none of the above
-exhalation of carbon dioxide
-hydrogen ion secretion into urine
-all of the above would shift the blood pH toward alkalosis - Correct Answer-all of
the above

The mechanism for liver damage related to chronic alcoholism is:
-chemical asphyxation
-hypoxic injury
-apoptosis
-oxidative stress - Correct Answer-chemical asphyxation
Free radicals cause damage by:
-giving up an electron, which causes injury to the chemical bonds of the cell
membrane
-stimulating the release of lysosome activity
-transferring one of its charged, stabilized atoms to the cell membrane, causing
lysis

ACTUAL EXAM
-stealing the cell's oxygen to stabilize the electron, thus causing hypoxia - Correct
Answer-giving up an electron, which causes injury to the chemical bonds of the
cell membrane
the loss of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during ischemia causes cells to:
-swell because of the influx of sodium chloride
-shrink because of the influx of potassium
-swell because of the influx of nitric oxide
-shrink because of the influx of calcium - Correct Answer-swell because of the
influx of sodium chloride
during cellular injury, when the membrane becomes damaged, what is the
mechanism of the cell injury?
-decrease in the amount of calcium
-loss of permeability
-influx of oxygen into the cell
-increase in ATP synthesis - Correct Answer-loss of permeability
