thyroid gland correct answers responsible for metabolism, releases T3 and T4
hypothalamus correct answers releases TRH
anterior pituitary correct answers releases TSH
primary causes correct answers destruction of thyroid gland tissue, inability to synthesize thyroid
hormone
secondary correct answers disease of the anterior pituitary unable to secrete TSH, altered
function of hypothalamus and its ability to secrete TRH
FT4 correct answers free T4 that is not bound to plasma membranes, used to test for
hypothyroidism
myxedema coma correct answers stimulated by infections, medications such as opioids,
tranquillizers and barbiturates, exposure to cold and trauma
diabetes mellitus correct answers a glucose metabolism disorder related to absent or insufficient
insulin supply or poor utilization of insulin that is available
beta cells in the islets of langerhans correct answers where proinsulin is produced in the pancreas
before it goes to the liver to be converted to insulin
4-6 mmol/L correct answers normal blood glucose levels
type 1 diabetes correct answers occurs more often in people under 30 years of age, peak onset is
between 11-13 years old, genetic predisposition, inability to produce sufficient insulin
type 2 diabetes correct answers most prevalent, pancreas continues to produce insulin but the
production is either insufficient for the body needs or is poorly utilized by the tissues
latent autoimmune diabetes mellitus correct answers people who are diagnosed with type 2
diabetes in adulthood but appear to have an immune mediated loss of pancreatic beta cells
diabetic ketoacidosis correct answers an acute complication of type 1 DM precipitated by:
illness, infection, inadequate dosing of insulin, omission of insulin, poor self management
acute kidney injury correct answers characterized by an abrupt decline in kidney function which
leads to an inability to excrete waste products, water and causes functional disturbances in all
body system
prerenal correct answers damage to the kidney that come before the glomerulus, anything that
affects the amount of blood being delivered to the kidney
, intrarenal correct answers main causes are prolonged schema, nephrotoxic substances,
accumulation of hemoglobin or myoglobin in the renal tubule, glomerulonephritis
postrenal correct answers anything that blocks to urinary outflow. when outflow if blocked, urine
will reflux into the renal pelvis and impair the function of the kidney
initiation phase correct answers serum creatine will rise, serum BUN will rise, decreased urine
output
maintenance phase correct answers may last from days to weeks, patients may be anuric,
nonoliguria or oliguric
recovery phase correct answers BUN and creatine return to normal values, GFR return towards
normal
alzheimer's disease correct answers a chronic, progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, that
destroys memory and thinking, eventually leading to the inability to carry out simple tasks
amnesia correct answers inability to be able to recall events/information
aphasia correct answers inability to understand speech but cannot express it or unable to
understand speech but can talk
agnosia correct answers inability to recognize everyday items that one should be able to
recognize
apraxia correct answers changes in ones ability to move
altered perception correct answers the way one look at the world or situations is altered
apathy correct answers lack of emotion
anosognosia correct answers not being able to recognize the fact that you can not recognize
things
cognitive testing correct answers evaluates memory, attention, perform calculations, language,
visuospatial skills and how alert one is
mini mental state exam correct answers most common tool to assess cognitive function, however
it is not sensitive to early cognitive impairment
the Montreal cognitive assessment correct answers assessment tool that is used to detect early
dementia
