Advanced Patho Midterm
What is the probable cause of cellular swelling in the early stages of cell
injury? - answer-Na-K pump fails to remove intracellular Na+
The mechanism for liver damage related to chronic alcoholism is: -
answer-Oxidative stress.
Free radicals cause damage by: - answer-Giving up on electron, which
cause injury to the chemical bonds of the cell membrane.
The loss of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during ischemia causes cells to:
- answer-Swell because of the influx of sodium chloride.
During cellular injury, when the membrane becomes damaged, what is
the mechanism of cell injury? - answer-Loss of permeability.
When a person experiences a myocardial infarction, how long before
anaerobic metabolism ceases? - answer-3-4 minutes.
Left calf being smaller than right calf when a cast is removed is an
example of: - answer-Atrophy.
A young female becomes agitated and apprehensive, and she eventually
loses consciousness. At the hospital ER, the following lab values were
obtained:
-Plasma Sodium 137
-Plasma Potassium 5.0
-pH 7.53
-Serum Co2 22
-Plasma Bicarb 24
What is her immediate diagnosis? - answer-Respiratory alkalosis.
What would not shift blood toward pH alkalosis?
-Hydrogen ion secretion into urine
-Exhalation of carbon dioxide
-All of the above would
-None of the above would - answer-All of the above.
,A 76 y/o man was brought to an urgent care facility when he fell after
sitting for prolonged period of time. He is slow to answer questions, has
muscle weakness and cramping, and constipated. He had diarrhea for
three weeks. On exam: neck veins flat, BP low in supine, HR 110, pulse
weak + regular, resps 20 but deep. Labs: Na+ 142, K 2.8.
-What fluid imbalance does he have and why? - answer-Isotonic fluid
deficit. (Diarrhea x 3 weeks, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, weak
pulse and low BP on supine.

-What imbalance is indicated based on lab results? What clinical
manifestations are noted based on this imbalance? - answer-
Hypokalemia. (Muscle weakness and constipation).

-He was given IV isotonic NS with appropriate electrolytes in it. What
was the purpose of administering this particular fluid at the cellular level?
- answer-Isotonic sodium containing fluid will expand the extracellular
fluid volume which will correct the deficit.
