NSG 170 Test 3: Fluid, electrolytes and metabolism -
Questions with 100% Correct Verified Answers
Which insulin should you never mix? - Answer Lantus
Interrelated concepts for glucose regulation - Answer Nutrition, mobility, patient
education, hormonal regulation, immunity, tissue integrity, elimination, sensory
perception, perfusion, family dynamics, culture, adherence
Diabetic ketoacidosis - Answer Acute event that occurs as a result of hyperglycemia,
ketosis, and acidosis. Can be triggered by stress
DKA Symptoms - Answer abdominal pain, vomiting, poor skin turgor, tachycardia,
hypotension
PCOS - Answer endocrine disorder associated with chronic anovulation; Patients with
PCOS are insulin resistant so diabetes prevention is important
HHNS - Answer Combination of hyperglycemia, hyperosmolarity, dehydration without
acidosis
Gestational diabetes - Answer Placental hormones increase insulin resistance
Risk factors for gestation diabetes - Answer obesity, history of gestation diabetes, over
25 years old, family history of type 2
, Cushing's syndrome - Answer Excessive corticosteroid secretion leading to hyperglycemia
Hypernatremia treatment - Answer Must determine if chronic or acute.
Fluid volume status: treat fever, dehydration, diuretic/medication use
correct true cause
Must correct very carefully to avoid cerebral edema
Aspects of fluid balance - Answer extracellular volume and osmolality
Aspects of electrolyte balance - Answer extracellular fluid volume, osmolality, plasma
electrolyte concentrations
CMP - Answer A complete metabolic panel; contains 14 individual tests that measure
electrolyte levels, kidney function, glucose levels and heart function
Difference between CMP and BMP - Answer A CMP contains all of the same tests as a
BMP, plus more electrolyte levels.
BMP - Answer Basic metabolic panel; Measures a few electrolyte levels, kidney function,
glucose levels
Interrelated concepts for fluid and electrolyte - Answer Nutrition, mobility, hormonal
regulation, cognition, perfusion, gas exchange, acid base balance, elimination
Hypokalemia - Answer deficient potassium in the blood
