NURS 6111 Exam 1/ 100 Questions with
Verified Solutions.
ABG interpretation - Answer: pH 7.35-7.45
PaCO2 35-45
HCO3 22-26
ROME- Respiratory Opposite Metabolic Equal
active transport - Answer: Energy-requiring(energy often supplied by ATP) process
that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference
what electrolyte is required for muscle contraction - Answer: calcium
Page 1 of 18
,electrolytes in body fluids - Answer: sodium, chloride, potassium, bicarbonate,
calcium, phosphate, magnesium
who is at risk for fluid imbalances - Answer: older adults and children
what regulates fluid in the body - Answer: -kidneys
-thirst
-hormonal influences
ELISA - Answer: screening test to detect anti-HIV antibodies in the bloodstream;
ELISA will test a patient's blood or oral fluids from cheeks and gums (saliva cannot
be used) for ELISA.
Viral load - Answer: the amount of HIV that is present in the blood and is an
indicator of how fast HIV is reproducing in the body. When the viral load is high,
the HIV specific binding and neutralizing antibodies have not been formed, the
risk of infection is the greatest
CD4 - Answer: the cell count that measures the health of the immune system. A
high CD4 count is an indicator that the body can fight infections.
autosomal dominant disorders - Answer: Huntington's Disease
Achondroplasia
Neurofibromatosis
Page 2 of 18
, autosomal recessive disorders - Answer: Tay-Sachs, Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell
anemia, phenylketonuria
autosomal dominant - Answer: autosomal dominant means that an offspring has
inherited at least one affected gene from one of their parents and only needs one
affected gene to express the trait
autosomal recessive - Answer: require inheritance of two affected genes to
express a trait
Recessive X-linked trait - Answer: normal copy on one X chromosome masks the
recessive disease allele on the other X chromosome
Dominant X-linked trait - Answer: Equal frequency in males and females
Affected males - ALL daughters get trait no sons get it
Affected females - see trait in 50% daughters and 50% sons
Dominant X-linked disorders - Answer: Fragile X syndrome is an example.
Most common genetic cause of cognitive deficits
Effects are variable and related to the extent of mutation of the allele.
recessive x-linked disorders - Answer: color blindness, duchenne muscular
dystrophy, hemophilia
