Advanced PATHO HESI set #2 exam with |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
answers
A 77-year-old woman has been brought to the emergency
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
department by her daughter because of a sudden and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
unprecedented onset of confusion. The patient admits to |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ingesting large amounts of baking soda since the morning
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in an effort to treat indigestion. How will the woman's
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
body attempt to resolve this disruption in acid-base
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
balance? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Hypoventilation |\ |\ |\ |\
Arterial blood gases of a patient with a diagnosis of acute
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
renal failure reveal a pH of 7.25 (low), HCO3-of 21 mEq/L
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(low), decreased PCO2 accompanied by a respiratory rate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of 32 (high). What disorder of acid-base balance is the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
patient most likely experiencing? - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Metabolic acidosis |\
A nurse who is providing care for a patient with a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
diagnosis of diabetes insipidus should prioritize the close
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
monitoring of serum levels of which of the following |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
electrolytes? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Sodium |\ |\ |\ |\
A man who was recently dx'd w/ Huntington's disease
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
asks the nurse if his adolescent son should be tested for
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,the disease. What response is best for the nurse to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
provide? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Genetic counseling
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
should be obtained prior to undertaking any genetic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
testing procedure |\
Allostasis is characterized by: - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔interactive physiologic changes in numerous systems. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Which reaction should the nurse ID in a client who is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
responding to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
system (SNS)? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Increased HR.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Any stressor that is perceived as threatening to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
homeostasis acts to stimulate the SNS and manifests as a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
flight or flight response, which includes an increased HR
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Parasympathetic Nervous System: pupil constriction, |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
bronchial constriction, decreased BP |\ |\ |\
According to Walter B. Cannon, homeostasis is a stable
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
internal environment achieved through a system of: -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔coordinated physiologic |\ |\ |\ |\
processes that oppose change |\ |\ |\
According to Hans Selye, the first stage of the general
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
adaptation syndrome (GAS) is: - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔alarm
, Although stress exposure initiates integrated responses
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by multiple systems, the functional changes are first
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
manifested by which system? - CORRECT ANSWERS|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Increased cardiopulmonary rates |\ |\
Atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease is |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
symptomatic with at least 50% occlusion. The primary |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
peripheral symptom, due to ischemia, is: - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔calf pain |\ |\
Although both are characterized by ischemia, Raynaud
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
phenomenon is caused by _________, and thromboangiitis |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
obliterans is caused by: - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔vasospasm; inflammation |\
Because of its location, the presence of an abdominal
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
aortic aneurysm may first be noticed as: - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔a pulsating mass |\ |\ |\
By definition, hypertension is systolic blood pressure of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
____ mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of ____
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mm Hg or higher. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔140; 90
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The patient is immobilized following a hip injury and has
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
begun demonstrating lower leg discoloration with edema,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
