Chapter 9 (Emergency Care in the
Streets) exam review with solutions.
_____ are a type of white blood cell that phagocytizes bacteria -
Ans Neutrophils
A diabetic patient who failed to take his or her insulin and
presents with peaked T waves on the cardiac monitor and muscle
weakness is MOST likely: - Ans hyperkalemic
A patient who overdosed on heroin and is unconscious with slow,
shallow respirations would MOST likely experience: - Ans
Increased CO2 retention
A patient with chronic hypertension is diagnosed with left
ventricular hypertrophy. This means that: - Ans an increase in the
size of the cells has caused an increase in the size of the ventricle
A patient with kidney or liver failure would MOST likely develop:
Severe dehydration, an increase in isotonic fluid, cellular
shrinkage and death, or excessive hypertonic fluid levels? - Ans
An increase in isotonic fluid
A person with a normal total cholesterol level: - Ans is still at risk
for coronary artery disease if his or her LDL levels are elevated
, A sodium loss in the body without a proportionate loss of water
would cause: - Ans hyponatremia
A type I hypersensitivity reaction is: - Ans an acute reaction that
occurs in response to a stimulus
A type of B cell that aids in the quick response to subsequent
exposures to an antigen and rapidly produces antibodies is the: -
Ans memory B cell
A woman is diagnosed with cervical dysplasia. This means that
the cervical cells have: - Ans undergone irregular, atypical
changes
Acid-base balance normally remains in a physiologic pH range of:
- Ans 7.35-7.45
Acidosis is characterized by a(n): - Ans increase in hydrogen ions
and a decrease in pH
acute pulmonary edema: - Ans impairs oxygen diffusion into the
pulmonary capillaries
All of the following factors would cause potassium to shift into the
cell, EXCEPT: alkalosis, epi release, increased vagal tone, insulin
administration - Ans Increased vagal tone
