correct/verified) Latest update 2023/2024
By what mechanism does intussusception cause an intestinal
obstruction?
a. Telescoping of part of the intestine into another
section of intestine, usually causing strangulation
of the blood supply
b. Twisting the intestine on its mesenteric pedicle,
causing occlusion of the blood supply
c. Loss of peristaltic motor activity in the intestine,
causing an adynamic ileus
d. Forming fibrin and scar tissue that attach to the
intestinal omentum, causing obstruction
A. Intussusception is the telescoping of part of the intestine
into another section of intestine, usually causing
strangulation of the blood supply.
What is the most immediate result of a small intestinal
obstruction?
a. Vomiting
b. Electrolyte imbalances
c. Dehydration

accumulate proximal to the obstruction. Within 24
hours, up to 8 L of fluid and electrolytes
enters the lumen in the form of saliva, gastric juice, bile,
pancreatic juice, and intestinal secretions. Copious vomiting or
sequestration of fluids in the intestinal lumen prevents
their reabsorption and produces severe fluid and
electrolyte disturbances.
An intestinal obstruction at the pylorus or high in the small
intestine causes metabolic alkalosis by causing which
outcome?
a. Gain of bicarbonate from pancreatic secretions that
cannot be absorbed
b. Excessive loss of hydrogen ions normally absorbed
from gastric juices
c. Excessive loss of potassium, promoting atony of the
intestinal wall
d. Loss of bile acid secretions that cannot be absorbed
Excessive loss of hydrogen ions. If the obstruction is at the
pylorus or high in the small intestine, then metabolic
alkalosis initially develops as a result of
excessive loss of hydrogen ions that normally would be

reabsorbed from the gastric juices.
What are the cardinal symptoms of small intestinal obstruction?
a. Constant, dull pain in the lower abdomen relieved by
defecation
b. Acute, intermittent pain 30 minutes to 2 hours after
eating
c. Colicky pain caused by distention, followed by
vomiting
d. Excruciating pain in the hypogastric area
caused by ischemia Colicky pain caused by
distention followed by vomiting.

hepatitis? (Select all that apply.)

approximately 2 weeks after exposure and ends with
