, -DIC is a clotting problem, with massive coagulation. As clots break down, firing split products are
produced.
Rhabdomyolysis & Acute Tubular necrosis (correct answer)Rhabdomyolysis (destruction of skeletal
muscle cells) results in the release of massive amounts of creatinine kinase that in turn may "clog" renal
tubes and lead to acute tubular necrosis

common cause of community acquired acute renal failure (70%).
*BUN to creatinine ratio at least 20:1

Placement of a patient with unilateral PNA. (correct answer)Place the "good lung" down and have the
