His edema is most likely a consequence of rightsided heart failure. 19.What age group has a larger volume of extracellular fluid than intracellular fluid?

Serum calcium, bowel function, level of consciousness 21.A deficiency of von Willebrand factor impairs platelet adhesion to injured tissue 22.Pneumocystitis is a term that refers to a fungal pneumonia secondary to HIV. 23.The therapy that most directly improves cardiac contractility in a patient with systolic heart failure is digitalis. 2 24.Rheumatic heart disease is most often a consequence of β-hemolytic streptococcal infection. 25.How do clinical conditions that increase vascular permeability cause edema? By allowing plasma proteins to leak into the interstitial fluid, which draws in excess fluid by increasing the interstitial fluid osmotic pressure 26.In contrast to all other types of shock, the hyperdynamic phase of septic shock is associated with high cardiac output 27.After suffering a heart attack, a middle-aged man is counseled to take a cholesterol-lowering medication. This is an example of tertiary prevention. 28.Which causes vasoconstriction? Norepinephrine 29.Renal compensation for respiratory acidosis is evidenced by elevated bicarbonate ion concentration. 30.Which change in a patient’s assessment has the greatest urgency? Serum potassium concentration is increasing; has developed cardiac dysrhythmias, but denies any difficulty breathing 31.Peripheral edema is a result of venous thrombosis. 32.Necrotic death of brain tissue usually produces _____ necrosis. liquefactive 33.While hospitalized, an elderly patient with a history of myocardial infarction was noted to have high levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). What is the significance of this finding? Increased LDL levels are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease 34.Hypotension associated with neurogenic and anaphylactic shock is because of peripheral pooling of blood. 35.A normal bleeding time in association with normal platelet count, and increased prothrombin time (PT) and INR, is indicative of vitamin K deficiency. 36. Which disorder is associated with a type III hypersensitivity mechanism of injury? Systemic lupus erythematosus 37.What is the correct definition of complete remission (CR) of leukemia? CR is less than 5% blasts in marrow and normal CBC values. 38.In which stage of shock is a patient who has lost 1200 mL of blood, who has normal blood pressure when supine, but who experiences orthostatic hypotension upon standing? Class II, Compensated Stage 39.Certain autoimmune diseases are associated with the presence of specific proteins on a person’s cells. These proteins are called ________ proteins. HLA or MHC 40. After being diagnosed with hypertension, a patient returns to the clinic 6 weeks later. The patient reports “moderate” adherence to the recommended lifestyle changes and has experienced a decreased from 165/96 to 148/90 mm Hg in blood pressure. What is the most appropriate intervention for this patient at this time? Continue lifestyle modifications only 3 41.Selye’s three phases of the stress response include all the following except allostasis. 42.All the following stress-induced hormones increase blood glucose except aldosterone. 43.The hypersecretion of mucus resulting for chronic bronchitis is the result of recurrent infection. 44.Administration of a vasodilator to a patient in shock would be expected to decrease left ventricular afterload. 45.The person at highest risk for developing hypernatremia is a person who receives tube feedings because he or she is comatose after a stroke. 46.The primary adaptive purpose of the substances produced in the alarm stage is energy and repair. 47.Respiratory acidosis may be caused by hypoventilation 48.Persistence of the alarm stage will ultimately result in permanent damage and death 49.An increase in hemoglobin affinity for oxygen occurs with shift to the left. 50.Hyperaldosteronism causes ECV excess and hypokalemia. 51.A patient has a positive Chvostek sign.
