What are the 3 control mechanisms

A

blood buffer system, the lungs, urinary system

85
Q

(know) 3 days are needed for the kidneys to stabilize pH within normal range

86
Q

(know) an increase in hydrogen ions results in acidosis (decrease in pH). A decrease in hydrogen ions results in alkalosis (increaase in pH)

87
Q

(know) Carbon dioxide levels increase in disorders such as airway obstruction, pneumonia, asthma, or chest injuries. Increased levels are also seen in patients taking opiates, which depress the respiratory rate. Chronic respiratory acidosis is prevalent among people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), also called chronic airflow limitation (CAL)

90
Q

(know) hypokalemia (low serum potassium) is associated with metabolic alkalosis through various mechanisms.

91
Q

(know) stridor can only be heard through inspiration and it sounds shrill and harsh

91
Q

(know) stridor can only be heard through inspiration and it sounds shrill and harsh

92
Q

93
Q

(know) the best method in following edema is measuring the circumference

94
Q

95
Q

(know) to test for trousseau sign, place a blood pressure cugg on the arm and inflate it above the patient’s systolic pressure for 3 minutes. A spasm of the hand indicates a positive Trousseau sign

96
Q

(know) deep tendon reflexes aare tested by tapping a partially stretched muscle tendon with a percussion hammer. The extent of the reflex is scored from 0 to 4+, with 0 representing no response, 2+ a normal response, and 4+ a hyperactive response

97
Q

(know) if urine output is less then 30 mL/h, potassium should not be given. Check IV fluids for added potassium before initiating IV therapy. Check the IV fluid that is in progress. Giving potassium when urine flow is inadequate may cause kidney damage

98
Q

(know) vitamin b12 is absorbed in the stomach through the action of intrinsic factor secreted from the stomach wall

99
Q

(know) aim to eat less than 300 mg of cholesterol a day

100
Q

(know) the only plant source of all nine amino acids is soybeans

101
Q

(know) vegans, in particular, may have a diet deficient in a vitamin B6, vitamin B12, iron, zinc, calcium, riboflavin, and Vitamin D. The more limited the vegetarian diet, the greater the risk of nutritional deficiencies

102
Q

(know) Fiber: fruits, grains and cereals, vegetables, legumes - cooked

103
Q

(know) the fat soluble vitamins are vitamins A,D,E, and K

104
Q

(know) a general rule is that the patient should take in an amount equal to the recorded fluid output plus 500 mL

105
Q

(know) HIV and AIDs require a high protein diet

106
Q

(know) some health care professionals encourage later introduction of solid foods starting at 9 to 12 months to decrease further the risk of food allergy or sensitivity

107
Q

(know) introducing solid foods before 4 to 6 months of age also increases the risk of the infant developing food allergies as the immune system matures. Solid foods should be introduced gradually one at a time
