NSG170 Test 4: Thermoregulation & Cellular Regulation; Questions and Answers 100% Solved Signs and symptoms of heat stroke CORRECT ANSWER -Anxiety, confusion, body temperature above 40.6/105, tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, Na and K depletion What can untreated heat stroke lead to? CORRECT ANSWER -Cerebral edema (coma, seizures, delirium) Signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion CORRECT ANSWER -Headache, fatigue, weakness, sweating, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, anxiety/confusion, body temp of 38.8/102 Heat exhaustion causes CORRECT ANSWER -Low fluid intake, prolonged heat exposure, physical activity Normal temperature range for the body CORRECT ANSWER -36.2 -37 or 97 -100 Hyperthermia CORRECT ANSWER -Body temperature above 37.6 Hyperpyxeria CORRECT ANSWER -Extremely high body temperature Hypothermia CORRECT ANSWER -Body temperature below 36.2 Hypothalamus CORRECT ANSWER -Part of the brain that regulates body temperature Target body temperature CORRECT ANSWER -37/98.6 Types of heat loss CORRECT ANSWER -Radiation, conduction, convection, evaporation NSG170 Test 4: Thermoregulation & Cellular Regulation; Questions and Answers 100% Solved Radiation CORRECT ANSWER -Loss of body heat from the skin into the air Conduction CORRECT ANSWER -Direct transfer of heat from one surface to another Convection CORRECT ANSWER -Loss of heat through air currents Factors that increase heat loss CORRECT ANSWER -Vasodilation What is the process of thermoregulation? CORRECT ANSWER -A negative feedback loop that reverses or opposes change in body temperature Risk factors for impaired thermoregulation CORRECT ANSWER -Age (infants and older adults), Why are older adults at risk for impaired thermoregulation? CORRECT ANSWER -Slower circulation, reduced thermoregulatory function of the skin (less sweating), reduced heat production due to slower metabolism Fever causes CORRECT ANSWER -Immune system's response to pyrogens causes the hypothalamus to raise body temperature Three physiological mechanisms that impact body temperature CORRECT ANSWER -
Excessive heat production, inadequate ability to cool, hypothalamic regulator dysfunction Accidental hypothermia CORRECT ANSWER -caused by sudden immersion in cold water or prolonged exposure to cold
