excessive Na in blood
–may be caused by ADH
a cause of thrombocytopenia includes…
chemo bc bone marrow suppression
The effect on the renal tubules during the postoliguric phase of acute tubular necrosis involves
regeneration of the renal tubular epithelium.
The stroke etiology with the highest morbidity and mortality is
intracranial hemorrhage
A laboratory finding that would help confirm the diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism is
hyperkalemia

iv therapy
The most common site affected in Paget’s disease is the
lower spine
Prerenal acute kidney injury may be caused by

gastroesophegeal varice
The earliest manifestation of scleroderma is
Raynaud phenomenon.
A patient has a positive Chvostek sign. The nurse interprets this as a sign of
INCR neuromuscular excitability
In general, the best prognosis for long-term disease-free survival occurs with
ALL (acute lymphoid leukemia)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (adrenogenital syndrome) results from
blocked cortisol production
The risk for contrast media–induced acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is highest in
70 yr old w hrt failure
Individuals diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at risk for developing numerous complications of various organs because of

goiter

absent or diminished levels of progesterone.
The fraction of total body water (TBW) volume contained in the intracellular space in adults is
2/3
Tissues are able to autoregulate their rate of blood flow by controlling
vasc resistance
INCR resistance=INCR pressure=DECR flow
Myasthenia gravis is a type II hypersensitivity disorder that involves
impaired muscle function
The inward-pulling force of particles in the vascular fluid is called _____ pressure.
capillary osmotic pressure

vit k deficiency bleeding
Which electrolyte imbalances cause increased neuromuscular excitability?
HYPO - calcemia, magnesia
cortisol, glucocorticoid, epinephrine + norepinephrine all
INCR glucose levels
The most common presenting sign/symptom with rheumatic fever is
inability to retract the foreskin
The most common source of osteomyelitis is
infection that migrates via bloodstream
Sepsis has been recently redefined as
a systemic inflammatory response to infection.
An increased urine bilirubin is associated with
hepatitis

hypergluycemia
Nephrotic syndrome does not usually cause
hematuria
A primary laboratory finding in end-stage chronic renal disease is
incr serum creatinine
