Frage 15
Frage
A patient has a serum sodium level of 165 mEq/L. The healthcare professional explains that
the clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, and coma are
caused by what mechanism?
Antworten
-
High sodium in the blood vessels pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood vessels, causing brain cells to shrink.
-
High sodium in the brain cells pulls water out of the blood vessels into the brain cells, causing them to swell.
-
Low sodium in the blood vessels pulls potassium out of the brain cells, which slows the synapses in the brain.
-
Low sodium in the blood vessels draws chloride into the brain cells followed by water, causing the brain cells to swell.
Frage 16
Frage
What does vomiting-induced metabolic alkalosis cause?
Antworten
-
Retained sodium to bind with the chloride
-
Hydrogen to move into the cell and exchange with potassium
-
Retention of bicarbonate to maintain the anion balance
-
Hypoventilation to compensate for the metabolic alkalosis
