120/80
This is the place where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange take place.
Alveoli
Clinical manifestations include hematuria, enuresis, fever, foul-smelling urine, poor appetite, painful urination
UTI
A client's lab values are as follows: Na+ 148, K+ 3.7, Ca+ 9.8, Mag 2.0. What electrolyte imbalance is present?
Hypernatremia.
Manifestations of hypernatremia include dry, sticky membranes, tongue red/swollen, dyspnea, hypotension, tachycardia, and in severe cases fatigue, restlessness, disorientation, and even coma.
Inflammation of fingerlike appendage attached to cecum due to infection or obstruction
Appendicitis
This is the blood pressure term when the heart is contracting.
Systolic
A flexible tube is inserted through the nose or mouth to visualize the larynx, trachea, and bronchi
Bronchoscopy
A procedure where excessive fluids and waste products that are usually removed by the kidneys are removed through the peritoneal cavity
Peritoneal Dialysis
The client has the following lab values: Na+ 137, K+ 6.0, Mag 2.0, Ca+ 10.0. What is a potential serious complication of this electrolyte problem?
Cardiac arrhythmias
3 main drug classes used for GERD.
PPI
H2 Receptor Block
Antacids
The left ventricle pushes blood through this valve.
Aortic
A _________ respiratory rate leads to an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood.
decreased
What acid imbalance would this result in?
Progressive reduction of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) resulting in the inability of kidneys to excrete wastes, concentrate urine, and conserve electrolytes
Chronic Kidney Disease/Chronic Renal Failure
The nurse is providing teaching to a client regarding hypocalcemia. What client signs/symptoms/manifestations would be included in this teaching?
Neuromuscular changes

Stool sample
This disease makes someone unable to clot.
Hemophilia
This dome-shaped muscle plays a crucial role in breathing by contracting to allow lung expansion.
Diaphragm
The kidneys help regulate this electrolyte, which is essential for muscle function and heart rhythm, and its imbalance can lead to serious complications like arrhythmias
Potassium

dry mucous membranes, hypotension, tachycardia, increased thirst, poor skin turgor
This is a medical emergency that is usually caused by a ruptured appendix or perforated gastric ulcer and can lead to septicemia
Peritonitis
This is the chemical that the kidney's secrete when blood pressure is low.
