NURSING 103 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS;
100% GUARANTEED PASS!!


active transport - correct answer- opposite of
diffusion bc it needs atp to move solutes(particles) from
lesser concentration to higher concentration. its movin
against the current


another caus eof hyperkalemia is psuedohyperkalemia
meaning what and how does it happen - correct
answer- hemolysis of rbc bc itll release potas into
ecf, drawing a sample above an iv fusion of potas, rough
handling of specimen


assessing temp can be delegated but what are the nurses
responsibilities? - correct answer- assessing:
findings, effects of changes in body temp
implementing interventions:
teaching patient about: methods of temp measurement,
normal values, and abnormal values.
making sure they're accurate and interpret them.

,capillary filtration process - correct answer-
push pressure=hydrostatic pressure
hearts pumps and your arteries push fluid and solute thru
capillary walls(porous) and into interstitial space. we need
to get this back to the heart to the veins(oncotic pressure)
is exerted by albumin(produced in the liver) h2o magnet
comes in and pulls fluid back into capillaries.


cause effects and treatment in low body temp? -
correct answer- Caused by exposure, chronic
conditions
older adults- impaired perception, accidental
below 35 C can result in death
effects can be poor coordination, slurred speech, poor
judgement, hallucinations, decrease RR, pulse weak and
irregular lowBP.

gases pass through, ions like k and na require transport
mechanism (pump)


colloid osmotic pressure - correct answer-
oncotic pressure, occurs in veins
