preparing for examinations. The content provides
comprehensive coverage of the topics included in the
document.
Exam Questions and Answers
Hyponatremia --- correct precise answer ---Low sodium due
to rapid dehydration
, Page 2 of 10
Hypernatremia --- correct precise answer ---High sodium,
slower dehydration, ex: old person who can't get up to drink
water frequently enough
Hypokalemia --- correct precise answer ---Low potassium,
cardiac arrhythmia, leg cramping, decreased bowel sounds
Hyperkalemia --- correct precise answer ---High potassium,
cardiac arrest, muscle weakness, hyperactive bowel sounds
Hypocalcemia --- correct precise answer ---weak bones and
teeth, severe muscle cramping, Trousseau and Chvostek signs,
caused by not ingesting enough calcium or vitamin D
Hypercalcemia --- correct precise answer ---lethargy, bone
pain, may be indicative of bone cancer, immobility, bone
deteriorates
hypomagnecemia --- correct precise answer ---tremors,
tachycardia, confusion
hypermagnecemia --- correct precise answer ---vasodialation,
nausea, emesis, hypotensive, cardiac arrest
Blood pH --- correct precise answer ---7.35-7.45
Co2 normal range --- correct precise answer ---45-35
