N313-Exam 1 questions with correct answers
allostasis Correct Answer-process by which the body responds to
stressors in order to regain HOMEOSTASIS. The adaptation process of
complex physiological systems to physical, psychosocial and
environmental challenges; an active regulatory process that continuously
evaluates and adapts to physiological needs and takes into account
normal variations in a dynamic biological system
thermoregulation Correct Answer-balances heat production/loss
core surface temperature Correct Answer-Is core or surface body
temperature warmer?
allostatic adaptation Correct Answer-adapting to changes
not getting enough sleep and gets sick Correct Answer-What is an
example of allostatic overload?
rectal or temporal Correct Answer-What are the temperatures done on 0-
3 month olds?
rectal, axillary, temporal Correct Answer-What are the temperatures
done on 3 month to 4 year olds?
oral and axillary Correct Answer-What are the temperatures done on 4
and older?
,36C/96.8-38C/100.4 Correct Answer-What are normal ranges for adult
temperatures?
35.5C/95.9-37.5C/99.5 Correct Answer-What are the normal
temperature ranges for infants?
afebrile Correct Answer-not feverish
febrile Correct Answer-having or showing symptoms of a fever
hyperpyrexia Correct Answer-very high fever
pyrexia Correct Answer-fever
age, exercise, hormone level, circadian rhythm, stress Correct Answer-
What are alterations that may affect temperature?
fluids, ice, room temperature regulation, IV fluids (IV fluids usually
lower than core body temperature during fever so cooling helps) Correct
Answer-What are ways to treat fever?
rectal, then oral, tympanic, and axillary Correct Answer-What is the
most accurate mode of temperature?
, .5-.9 higher than oral Correct Answer-How much higher are rectal and
tympanic temperatures than oral?
.5-.9 lower than oral Correct Answer-How much lower is an axillary
temperature compared to oral?
