monitoring 2

Question 1

this provides information about renal perfusion/function

Answer 1

Urine Volume and Urine Specific Gravity Measurement

Question 2

this is used to assess hydration status during fluid administration

Answer 2

Urine Volume and Urine Specific Gravity Measurement

Question 3

Fluid volumes in the body, or those coming out of the body, can be estimated using a weight scale:

Answer 3

1 ml of fluid = 1 g of weight

1 L of fluid = 1 kg of weight

Question 4

this is produced during ANaerobic metabolism

Answer 4

Lactic acid

Question 5

Increased concentrations of this is indicative of inadequate blood flow (oxygen delivery) to tissues - how well tissues are oxygenating

Answer 5

lactate concentration - lactic acid is produced with ANaerobic metabolism, so without O2 - it’s not getting O2 from blood to metabolize

Question 6

Increased concentrations of this is seen in shock, GDV, crushing traumatic injuries

Answer 6

lactate concentration

Question 7

this is a good prognosis indicator

Answer 7

lactate concentration

Question 8

abnormalities in this can develop in patients with rodenticide toxicity, thrombocytopenia, sepsis

Answer 8

Coagulation Tests
