NUR 8022 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025 GRADED A+
When reviewing the patients chart a provider reads that there is nephrotic sediment
in the urine. This means there is a large presence of
Protein
When reviewing the patients chart a provider reads that there is nephritic sediment
in the urine. This means there is a large presence of
Blood
What are two functions of surfactant in the lungs?
-Keeps alveoli open and free of fluid
-Decreases surface tension by blocking H2O and H+ binding
If a patients has low plasma volume what is the normal physiological response?
Thirst
,Which nerve innervates the diaphragm?
Phrenic nerve
Which lipid carried cholesterol to the tissues?
LDL
What three areas does gas exchange occur?
Bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveoli
Gas exchange airways are served by the
A. Cardiac circulation
B. Venous circulation
C. Pulmonary circulation
C. Pulmonary circulation
Bronchi and other lung structures are served by the
,A. Cardiac circulation
B. Systemic circulation
C. Pulmonary circulation
B. Pulmonary circulation
Pulmonary circulation functions
Facilitate gas exchange
Deliver nutrients to lung tissue
Act as blood reservoir for L ventricle
Filtering system
pH range
7.35-7.45
Which of the following disorders can lead to a low V/Q mismatch?
A. Pulmonary edema
B. Pulmonary Embolism
C. Pulmonary Hypertension
D. Hypercapnia
A. Pulmonary edema
, Nitric oxide, which is released by the glomerular endothelial cells, causes which
physiological process to occur?
A. Vasoconstriction
B. Vasodilation
B. Vasodilation
What would be a normal physiological response in regard to osmosis be in a
patient with hyperglycemia?
The patient's serum is hypertonic and the fluid will move out of the cell
How does the parasympathetic nervous system decrease heart rate?
Release of ACH from the parasympathetic system increases the permeability of K+
ions and leads to hyperpolarization of the cell.
A patient is in renal failure. The patient reports a history of severe diarrhea for
several days. They also report they have not been able to eat or drink anything for
the last 24 hours due to not feeling well. The NP would suspect that this patient's
renal failure is a (pre/intral/post renal) and is due to (dehydration/ischemia/urinary
obstruction).
