,What is the primary determinant of oncotic pressure? - correct ans:Albumin
Form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins - correct ans:Oncotic Pressure
What is the difference between adult and child immunity? - correct ans:Naive T Cells
Fluid and electrolyte levels are regulated by _________________, which regulates actions such as thirst,
ADH, the kidneys, and RAAS. - correct ans:Osmoreceptors
What are the causes of dehydration? - correct ans:#Excessive loss
#Inadequate intake
#Both
What s/sx are associated with dehydration? - correct ans:#Dry mucous membranes
#Decreased skin turgor

A patient with a viral illness and severe vomiting has an elevated CO2 level and pH of 7.53. She is
breathing slowly. What condition does she have? - correct ans:Metabolic alkalosis
The patient's pH and CO2 levels are both elevated (moving in the same direction). This indicates
metabolic alkalosis. The CO2 level is high because her respiratory system is attempting to compensate
for the high pH by exhaling less and retaining more CO2.
Normal CO2 level - correct ans:35-45
,Normal pH level - correct ans:7.35-7.45
Normal HCO3 level - correct ans:22-26
Michael's pulmonary edema leads to respiratory acidosis. How does pH impact Michael's basal
metabolic panel? Choose 3 answers.
His CO2 level is increased because his lungs have difficulty removing it from the bloodstream.
His calcium level is reduced because the elevated concentration of H+ makes it easier for Ca+ to bind to
albumin.
His CO2 level is decreased because his lungs have difficulty adding it into the bloodstream.
His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.
His K+ is elevated because, as H+ moves inside of cells in an attempt to get it out of the bloodstream, K+
moves from cells into the bloodstream. - correct ans:His CO2 level is increased because his lungs have
difficulty removing it from the bloodstream.
His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.
His K+ is elevated because, as H+ moves inside of cells in an attempt to get it out of the bloodstream, K+

A hormone panel was done on a patient with congestive heart failure and fluid volume overload. Which
elevated hormone on the patient's chart is indicative of the body's attempt to reduce the fluid overload?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
, Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Aldosterone
Renin - correct ans:BNP
BNP is released when fluid volume excess is present.
Normal sodium level - correct ans:135-145
Hyponatremia is indicated by what lab result? S/Sx? - correct ans:Na < 135
Loss of energy or fatigue
Nausea and vomiting
Headache
Confusion
Muscle spasms
Low blood pressure
Dark scanty urine
Irritability, disorientation and neurological manifestations
Seizures
Hypernatremia is indicated by what lab result? S/Sx - correct ans:Na > 145
Excessive thirst
Extreme fatigue
Confusion
Muscle twitching or spasms
Restlessness
