WGU D236 Pathophysiology Exam (Latest 2023/ 2024 Update) Questions and Verified Answers| Grade A Q: An ultrasound reveals that a woman's baby is a boy. If she is a carrier for hemophilia, what is the probability her son will have hemophilia? 50% 75% 100% 25% Answer: 50% Rational: The woman has two copies of the X chromosome. One of the woman's X chromosomes has the allele that causes hemophilia, and one has a healthy allele. Therefore, she is expected to pass on the disease-...

Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of the trauma patient? Answer: c correct answera) to measure oxygenation and ventilation b) to quantify the base deficit for the adequacy of cellular perfusion c) *to gauge end-organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia ** d) to determine the underlying cause of shock A trauma patient is restless and repeatedly asking "where am I?" vital signs upon arrival were BP 100/60 mm Hg, HR 96 beats/min, and RR 24 breath...
