Section 1: Hyperkalemia, Management, Causes (Q1–Q12)
Question & Answer
Q1 Causes of AKI: MI, HF, shock, embolism, burns, dehydration, hemorrhage
A pre renal
Q2 Causes of AKI: ischemia, nephrotoxins, sepsis, AGN, malignant HTN, abx, NSAIDs,
contrast dye
A intra renal
Q3 Causes of AKI: prostate or bladder CA, renal calculi, BPH, trauma
A post renal
Q4 Phases of AKI: output <400 mL/day, metabolic acidosis, K excess, Na normal or
decreased, limit PO Na intake
A Oliguric
Q5 Phases of AKI: daily urine output from 1-3L, monitor for hypovolemia, hypotension,
dehydration, and hypokalemia, urine not concentrated
A diuretic
Q6 Phases of AKI: increased GFR, decreased BUN/Creatinine, lasts up to 12 months
A recovery
Q7 Hyperkalemia Management: give slow only in ICU, raises threshold for excitement of
cardiac cells
A calcium gluconate
Q8 Hyperkalemia Management: pushes K into cells, dextrose to prevent hypoglycemia
A regular insulin with dextrose
Q9 Hyperkalemia Management: corrects acidosis and moves K into cells
A sodium bicarb
Q10 Hyperkalemia Management: binds K in the gut and causes it to be excreted in stool
(make sure bowel sounds are good before giving)
A Kayexalate
Q11 Hyperkalemia Management: flushes out K in urine

Question & Answer
Q12 Types of Dialysis: -used in hemodynamically Unstable patients -must have dialysis
catheter, cannot use fistula -acid-base and electrolytes adjusted slowly and
continuously -adjustments can be made immediately
A CRRT
Section 2: Cerebrum, Dialysis, Types (Q13–Q24)
Question & Answer
Q13 Types of Dialysis: -rapid fluid removal used in ESRD and some AKI -restrictive, requires
vascular access, expensive, hypotension
A hemodialysis
Q14 Types of Dialysis: -less complicated, portable system -ESRD who wants home-based
dialysis, patients with vascular access issues -high infection risk, not ideal for
emergencies
A peritoneal dialysis
Q15 Cerebrum: cognitive, memory, movement, behavior
A frontal lobe
Q16 Cerebrum: language center
A temporal lobe
Q17 Cerebrum: spatial information, sensory cortex
A parietal lobe
Q18 Cerebrum: sight
A occipital lobe
Q19 parts of the brain: voluntary movement and stability -dysfunction= high risk for falls
A cerebellum
Q20 CN 1
A olfactory, smell
Q21 CN 2
A optic, snellen chart
Q22 CN 3
A oculomotor, PERRLA, EOM
Q23 CN 4
A trochlear, EOM
Q24 CN 5
A trigeminal, facial sensation, clench jaw
