FCCN1 QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS
hypokalemia ANSW✅✅s/s of this causes the seven Ls:
lethargic
low shallow respirations
lethal dysrhythmias
lots of urine
leg cramps
limp muscles
low blood pressure and heart rate
types of dysrhythmias from hypokalemia ANSW✅✅ST depression
shallow t wave
projecting U wave
causes of hyperkalemia ANSW✅✅burns/tissue damage (rhabdo)
Addison's Disease (decreased aldosterone)
Renal failure
Meds: ACE inhibitors, NSAIDS, K sparing diuretics
MURDER:
Muscle weakness, paresthesia's of face tongue feet and hands
Urinary output little or none
Respiratory failure
Decreased cardiac contractility
Early: muscle tissues/cramps
Rhythm changes: Tall peaked T waves, prolonged PR interval, widened QRS
ANSW✅✅Hyperkalemia acronym s/s
, decreased PTH (thyroidectomy)
decreased intake
Low vitamin D
CKD
ahminoglycosides (mycin), wastes really
anticonvulsants (affects vit D) ANSW✅✅causes of hypocalcemia
Biphosophonates ANSW✅✅slows down the ability of the bones to release calcium into the blood
stream
Aminoglycosides ANSW✅✅antibiotics that end in mycin that cause the body to waste calcium via
kidneys
CRAMPS:
Convulsions
Reflexes hyperactive
Arrythmias(prolonged QT, bradycardia, VT, asystole)
Muscle cramps, spasms, tremors, twitching
Positive signs (trousseau's/Chvostek's)
Sensation numbness/tingling of fingers and toes ANSW✅✅s/s of hypocalcemia acronym
Trousseau's sign ANSW✅✅Place a blood pressure cuff around arm and inflate it to pressure
greater than systolic, hold for 3 minutes; positive =hand draws in as thumb, wrist, and MCP joints
flex but fingers extend
positive trousseau's sign ANSW✅✅hand draws in as thumb, wrist, and map joints flex but fingers
extend
chvostek's sign ANSW✅✅nerve hyper excitability of cranial nerve VII; to test tap the master
muscle at angle of mandible Positive sign: the facial muscles will contract or twitch
causes of hypercalemia ANSW✅✅hyperactive PTH
increased vitamin D or supplements with calcium
