A 66-year-old female patient has presented to the emergency department because
of several months of intermittently bloody stools that has recently become worse. The
woman has since been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal bleed secondary to overuse
of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that she takes for her arthritis. The health care
team would realize that which of the following situations is most likely?
Give this one a try later!
The woman has depleted blood volume due to her ongoing blood loss.
********She will have iron-deficiency anemia due to depletion of iron stores.
The patient will be at risk for cardiovascular collapse or shock.
She will have delayed reticulocyte release.
The blood work of a 44-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of liver disease
secondary to alcohol abuse indicates low levels of albumin. Which of the following
, phenomena would a clinician be most justified in anticipating?
Give this one a try later!
Impaired immune function
Acid-base imbalances
Impaired thermoregulation
****Fluid imbalances
cytokine
Give this one a try later!
Any of a group of proteins secreted by a number of cell types, including
macrophages and helper T cells, that regulate the function of lymphocytes
and other cells of the immune system.
Sputum samples from a patient with pneumonia contain an infective agent that has a
peptidoglycan cell wall, expresses endotoxins, replicates readily in broth and on
agar, grows in clusters, has pili, and does not stain when exposed to crystal violet. This
pneumonia is most likely
