,Pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream? - correct ans:Oncotic



Oncotic - correct ans:a form of osmotic pressure exerted by proteins



In the blood, _____ is the most common plasma protein and is, therefore, a primary determinant of
oncotic pressure - correct ans:albumin



_____ controls osmotic pressure in vascular system, builds volume - correct ans:Albumin



One question was about the difference in children and adult immunity - correct ans:Possible answer:
naive T cells



Learning check question: Which differences in immunity make children and older adult patients more
susceptible to infections? Choose 2 answers



Younger patients have fewer memory cells to combat infection



Older adult patients have a dwindling population of naive T cells



Older adult patients have more memory cells to combat infection



Younger patients have a large population of naive T cells



Older adult patients have a large population of naive T cells - correct ans:Younger patients have fewer
memory cells to combat infection



Older adult patients have a dwindling population of naive T cells

,Rationale: younger patients have not been exposed to many pathogens, which means that they have
fewer memory cells than adults. The primary immune response is relatively weak compared to a
secondary response mediated by memory cells.



Older adult patients do not have as many T cells compared to younger patients. When these patients
encounter novel pathogens, the reduced number of naive T cells gives clonal selection fewer
opportunities to "find" T cells that will be effective.



Fluid and electrolyte levels are regulated by _______, which regulates actions such as thirst, ADH, the
kidneys, and RAAS. - correct ans:osmoreceptors



Fluid deficit causes - correct ans:-Excessive loss

-Inadequate intake

-Or combination of both



Fluid deficit risk factors - correct ans:-Vomiting/diarrhea

-Excessive sweating

-Insufficient water intake



Fluid deficit manifestations - correct ans:-dry mucous membranes

-decreased skin turgor

-decreased urine output

-low blood pressure

-tachycardia

-confusion



ROME for ABGs - correct ans:Respiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal



If pH and pCO2 are moving in opposite directions, then it is pCO2 levels that are causing the imbalance
and it is respiratory in nature

If they are moving the same direction then it is metabolic in nature

, Buffers, renal compensation, and respiratory compensation help to maintain a blood pH of _______ -
correct ans:7.35-7.45



A patient with a viral illness and severe vomiting has an elevated CO2 level and a blood pH of 7.53. She is
breathing slowly. What condition does the patient have?



Metabolic alkalosis

Metabolic acidosis

Respiratory alkalosis

Respiratory acidosis - correct ans:Metabolic alkalosis



The patient's pH and CO2 level are both elevating (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



To prevent changes in pH, the body employs buffer systems. The body utilizes 3 buffer systems: - correct
ans:proteins, phosphates, and the carbonic acid-bicarbonate system



Carbonic acid-bicarbonate system first line of defense is _____, second line of defense is _____ - correct
ans:respirations; kidneys



Carbonic acid-bicarbonate system equation - correct ans:The equation moves in both directions



CABS Equation:

When CO2 levels are elevated, the equation moves ________, forming more H+ and HCO3- ions -
correct ans:toward the right



CABS Equation:

When H+ ions are elevated, the equation moves _____, as H+ ions are converted to CO2 and the CO2 is
exhaled. - correct ans:toward the left
