Unit 203 Review

STUDY

100

Anaerobic Metabolism results in:

Lactic acid production, decreased blood pH, and metabolic acidosis.

200

Rapid isotonic boluses in a pt with cardiogenic shock would most likely result in:

Congestion of blood in the lungs

300

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is:

The blood pressure required to sustain organ perfusion

400

When injury occurs to tissues:

Platelets aggregate at the site of the injury

500

Approximately 25% of severe injuries to the aorta occur during:

Lateral Crashes

ALL

100

When assessing an elderly patient who fell:

Recognize that osteoporosis can cause a fracture that may have resulted in the fall.

200

Hemostasis is a natural response of the body in which:

Bleeding spontaneously clots through vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation.

300

The ribs attach anteriorly to the sternum by the:

Costal Cartilages

400

The presence of a scaphoid abdomen and bowel sounds in the lower hemithorax are most suggestive of:

A ruptured diaphragm.

500

Asymmetrical chest movement occurs when:

One side of the chest fails to move normally during inspiration. 

OF

100

Signs & Symptoms of a pneumothorax include:

Progressive respiratory diffulty, tachypnea with reduced tidal volume, Unilaterally diminished breath sounds.

200

A late sign of a tension pnuemothorax:

Contralateral tracheal shift

300

Which of the following is least likely to present with JVD? traumatic asphyxia, cardiac tamponade, tension pnuemo or a massive hemothorax

Massive Hemothorax

400

With regards to blunt chest trauma, it is important to know that:

Fractured ribs can tear the lungs and other vital intrathoracic organs

500

Common signs of chest injury include:

Tachycardia, hemoptysis, and hypotension.

THESE

100

Pathologic fractures can be caused by:

Osteoporosis, bone cancer, and minor injury force.

200

A fracture is:

a break in the continuity of a bone.

300

Joints are lubricated by:

Synovial Fluids

400

Thermolysis:

The body loses heat to the environment (most effectively through sweating and peripheral vasodilation)

500

With a core body temp of 89 F - 92 F patient will have:

Bradycardia

CATEGORIES

100

A core body temp of 85 F would be expected to present with:

Profoundly slow respirations

200

Hyperthermia occurs when:

Inadequate themolysis causes reduced heat loss.

300

Breath holding syncope commonly occurs when a swimmer:

Breathes deeply and rapidly before entering the water

400

Thermogenesis:

Internal heat production

500

Signs & Symptoms of lyme disease are most commonly confused with:

Rheumatoid Arthritis
