Which of the following is a statement about disease pathogenesis? - Strep infection activates immune cells, leading to inflammation 27. An obese teen is given a prescription for a low-calorie diet and exercise program. This is an example of - Secondary prevention 28. When potassium intake is less than potassium output (or when potassium shifts from plasma into cells) - hypokalemia 29. Intake of water and Na is less than output of water and Na - ECV deficit 30.

Holds 1/3 of the body's water - extracellular fluid 39. 135-145 mEq/L - sodium serum range 40. Alarm stage of GAS - increased heart rate 41. Which space does fluid enter to cause edema? - interstitial compartment 42. Treats hives, pruritis and swelling - histamine and prostaglandin 43. Macrophage is a type of white blood cell which is a phagocyte. - Homeostasis 60. Negative feedback - uses hormone to reach homeostasis 61. Positive feedback - increases hormones to create a reaction to occur 62. What the four different parts of homeostasis - Etiology, Pathogenesis, Clinical manifestations, Treatment implications 63. What are the levels of prevent? - Primary - Preventative measure Secondary - Detection Tertiary - Reducing effects 64. Mitochondria - Powerhouse of the cell Produces ATP (Glucose+O2) 65. Osmosis - Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane 66. What are the fluid compartments? - ICF and ECF 67. Sign - Objective - Rash, erythema 68. Symptom - Subjective - Fever, nausea 69. How is fluid between interstitial and intracellular compartments distributed? - Osmosis 70. Main complication of sodium imbalance - Hyper/Hyponatremia Concern - Hypovolemia Kidney failure 71. Main complication of calcium imbalance - Hypercalcemia/Hypocalcemia Kidney disease 72. How is fluid lost from the body? - Feces, urine, insensible loss 73. How do we lose fluid from extracellular compartment? - Vomiting, diarrhea, urinating, sweating, diuretics' 74. What is potential and fatal complication of hyponatremia - Can cause pressure in brain d/t fluid volume excess 75. Priority assessment for a patient with a potassium imbalance. - Cardiac - Bradycardia, abnormal EKG, Dysrhythmias, cardiac arrest 76. Symptoms of dehydration - Thirst, hypotension, tachycardia, weak-thready pulse, altered level of consciousness 77. Manifestations of fluid excess - peripheral edema, periorbital edema, anasarca, cerebral edema, dyspnea, bounding pulse, tachycardia, jugular vein distension, hypertension, polyuria, rapid weight gain, crackles, and bulging fontanelles 78. Cause of edema - Hydrostatic forces are greater than osmotic fluid - excess fluid in interstitial space 79. Extracellular fluid has higher concentration of which electrolytes/substances - Sodium, Chloride 80. The energy currency of a cell and role the mitochondrion plays in this currency - ATP - Aerobic metabolism 81. Three electrolytes that are stored in and impact bone and the relationship they have to each other B cells encounter antigen, produced & mature in bone marrow, differentiate into 2 types (memory & immunoglobulin-secreting [Ig]), antibodies produced 72hrs after initial antigen exposure, subsequent exposure to same antigen leads to quicker response 95. What are macrophages? - Fibrocystic WBC within tissues produced by monocytes; phagocytize (eat) & stimulate lymphocytes & other immune cells to respond to pathogens 96. Where are leukocytes and red blood cells formed - Bone marrow 97. Best way to prevent the spread of infection - wash hands 98.
