incorrect
9.

incorrect
12.
What causes metabolic alkalosis?
incorrect
13.
What is the cause of isotonic fluid volume excess?
incorrect
14.
What are some signs and symptoms of respiratory alkalosis?
incorrect
15.
What are the signs/symptoms of metabolic alkalosis?
incorrect
16.
Would a patient in respiratory alkalosis become hypercalcemic or hypocalcemic?
incorrect
17.
What is the etiology of hypokalemia?
incorrect
18.
What does the ECG for hyperkalemia look like?
incorrect
19.
What does the ECG for hypokalemia look like?
incorrect
20.
What is the etiology of hyperkalemia?
A.
ECF
B.
Too much IV fluids, heart failure, renal failure, hypersecretion of aldosterone.
C.
confusion, dizziness, tetany, muscle cramps, dysrhythmias.
D.
It stays the same.
E.
Sodium level 120-125: nausea, malaise, 115-120, headache, lethargy, 110-115, seizures, coma
F.
Confusion, dizziness, numbness, and tetany (due to hypocalcemia)
G.
Full, bounding pulse, galloping heart rate, tachycardia, pulmonary edema,
H.
Least common. Caused by loss of H+ ions, ingestion of alkaline substances (very hard to do), or loss of fluids low in bicarb, such as vomiting, GI suction.
I.
Flattened T-wave, presence of U wave
J.
Warm, flushed skin, CNS symptoms such as confusion, lethargy, disorientation, headache, ventricular dysrhythmias.
K.
Thirst, dry, sticy mucous membranes, fever, twitching, tremor, etc.
L.
Hemorrhage, GI losses, burns, fever, 3rd space fluid shifts.
M.
Tall, tented T wave.
N.
Hypocalcemic, because as pH goes up, more Ca ions become protein bound, and are not available.
O.
Potassium-sparing diuretics, metabolic acidosis, renal failure, crush injuries
P.
Cool, clammy skin, tachycardia, thready pulse, thirst, dry skin.
Q.
Warm, flushed skin, rapid deep respirations (Kussmaul), confusion, lethargy, headache. vemtricular dysrhythmias.
R.
Hypoventilation: patient is not blowing off enough CO2. Caused by anything that causes depressed respirations, such as drugs, neurological damage or disease.
S.
Potassium-wasting diuretics, vomiting or NG suction, burns
T.
Hyperventilation: classic case is an anxious person breathing rapidly, and blowing off all their CO2, thus become alkalotic.
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
Increses in etracellular water, inadequate intake of sodium, loss of body fluids from GI tract
incorrect
22.
Inadequate fluid intake, diabetes insipidus, not enough ADH, fluid losses
