WGU Patho D236 Section 1 Homeostasis exam with complete verified soLutions already graded A+

As Diane completes her race, what enables her body to maintain homeostasis despite her increased activity? -Diane's sports drink helped to replace sodium and water lost due to sweating. -Diane's body produces more angiotensin II, allowing her body to constrict blood vessels and increase her blood pressure. -Diane's kidney reabsorbs more water and sodium in response to ADH and aldosterone. Michael's pulmonary edema leads to respiratory acidosis. How does pH impact Michael's basal metabolic panel? - His CO2 level is increased because his lungs have difficulty removing it from the bloodstream. -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. -His sodium level is decreased due to hypervolemia.

The insulin producing cells of type I diabetics are destroyed, and they do not produce insulin. In type II diabetics, their cells are less responsive to insulin. 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 What happens in a dehydrated patient? ADH levels increase and the RAAS is activated. ACE (angiotensin converting enzymes) inhibitors are used to treat abnormal blood pressure. They prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Which explains how ACE inhibitors work? The decrease in the production of angiotensin II keeps blood vessels more dilated. This lowers blood pressure. In diabetic ketoacidosis, what happens to the anion gap? Because HCO3- is consumed, the anion gap increases. Patients with end stage renal disease are not able to maintain homeostatic levels of potassium, and the increased level of potassium in their bloodstream can impair cardiac function. To remove potassium from the blood during dialysis, what should the dialysate do? It should have a lower concentration of potassium than that of the bloodstream. Pressure that is due to albumin in the bloodstream? Oncotic Controls osmotic pressure in vascular system, builds volume. Albumin Fluid & electrolyte levels are regulated by . Osmoreceptors regulates actions such as thirst, ADH, the kidneys, and RAAS Osmoreceptors is excreted in response to fluid volume overload. Natriuretic peptides Which elevated hormone on the pts chart is indicative of the body's attempt to reduce the fluid volume overload? Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) A comatose client's blood pH is 7.1, partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 16 millimeters of mercury, and bicarbonate concentration is 5 milliequivalent/liter. Which acid-base imbalance has the client developed? Metabolic acidosis The nurse is providing care to a patient with metabolic acidosis. For which reason does the nurse note a laboratory result indicating hyperkalemia? The abundance of H⁺ ions moves into cells. The nurse is providing care for a client experiencing respiratory acidosis. The health-care provider prescribes that the client be placed on mechanical ventilation and be administered sodium bicarbonate. Which understanding does the nurse have regarding the prescribed treatment? Kidney compensation for acidosis is a slow process The nurse is providing care for a client with an undiagnosed illness. Calculations of the anion gap indicate an elevation, and the client is identified as being positive for metabolic acidosis. Which question does the nurse ask the client? "Are you taking regular doses of aspirin?" The nurse is providing care for a client with cerebral edema. Which IV does the nurse expect to be prescribed? Hypertonic solution Which is a physical assessment finding of respiratory acidosis? Cyanosis Which description of oncotic pressure is correct for the nurse to apply? The force exerted by albumin in the bloodstream 3 multiple choice options A nurse is caring for a client who is anxious and dizzy after a traumatic experience. The arterial blood gas findings include a pH level of 7.48, partial pressure of oxygen at 110, partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 25. Which initial intervention does the nurse implement? Encourage the client to breathe into a paper bag A client who is unconscious due to drug toxicity is brought to the emergency room. The client's vital signs include a body temperature of 97.8°F, pulse rate of 90 beats/minute, respiratory rate of 12 breaths/minute, and blood pressure of 100/70 mm Hg. The arterial blood gas (ABG) values of the client are also documented as shown. Blood pH 7.29 Partial pressure of carbon dioxide 32 mm Hg Partial pressure of oxygen 95 mm Hg Bicarbonate concentration 17 mEq/L Oxygen saturation 98% Which condition does the ABGs indicate the client has developed? Uncompensated metabolic acidosis The nurse is providing care for a client being treated for diabetic ketoacidosis. Assessment reveals the presence of tremors, muscle spasms, a positive Babinski's sign, and cardiac arrhythmias. Which condition does the nurse recognize? Hypomagnesemia
