NURS 5315 Final

1. A patient in respiratory distress and is breathing 33 breaths per

minute. Which ABG value is consistent with the clinical scenario?

PCO2 15

pH 7.30

pH 7.45

O2 sat 100%: A patient who is breathing 33 breaths per minute is

hyperventilating and blowing off CO2; therefore the PCO2 level will be

low. The patient will most likely experience a respiratory alkalosis and

the two pH values provided are not consistent with this diagnosis.

2. A patient has a sodium level of 115 mEq/L and is disoriented and

lethargic. Which pathological process best explains this patient's

symptoms?

a. The action potential has become hyperpolarized.

b. Water has shifted into the neurons and caused them to swell.

c. Water has shifted into the vascular space and dehydrated the neurons.

d. The action potential has become hypopolarized.: b. The cause of

neurologic symptoms associated with a sodium imbalance is directly

related to fluid shifting into or out of the neurons of the brain. With a


,serum sodium of 115 mEq/L, water shifts into the neurons and causes

them to swell. Hypernatremia causes water to shift out of the cell into

the intravascular space and causes the neurons to become dehydrated.

An alteration in the action potential is not seen with sodium imbalances.

3. A patient experiencing dehydration should be monitored for which

elec- trolyte imbalance?

a. Hyperkalemia

b. Hypocalcemia

c. Hypercalcemia

d. Hyponatermia: a. Serum osmolality is increased during times of

dehydration. An elevated serum osmolality will pull potassium into the

intravascular space from the intracellular space and cause a rise in

serum potassium.

4. A married couple presents to your office for genetic counseling. The

hus- band has an autosomal recessive disease and his wife has a

heterozygous genotype for the disease. They ask you, What is the chance

that our baby will have the disease? Which of the following answers is

correct?

25%

100%: A chromosome is a package of material located inside the cell

nucleus which is made of proteins and a single molecule of DNA. There

are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each human cell for a total of 46

chromosomes. Chromosomes are separated into two identical sets

during mitosis or meiosis. This provides a set






, of chromosomes to each daughter cell which results from cell division.

This process is responsible for the transfer of genetic information to the

daughter cells. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are known as

autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is the pair which contains the

genetic information for gender. This pair contains

the genetic information which delineates between the male and female

genders. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an XY

chromosome pair. Autosomal chromosomes are said to be autologous.

This means they do not carry genetic information pertaining to gender.

Autosomal genetic diseases are carried on the first 22 pairs of

chromosomes. Sex-linked diseases are only carried on

the 23rd pair of chromosomes. The autosomal chromosomes are nearly

identical to one another and are considered homologous to one another.

Each autosomal chromosome in a pair carries identical genes. These

two genes are known as alleles. The alleles occupy the same site on

each partner of the chromosome pair and code for the same genetic

trait or physiologic function. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. One

allele may be dominant and the other recessive, or they both may be

dominant or both recessive. The dominant alleles' genetic code will
