WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11 WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11: Pathophysiology Remediation Lesson 1: Homeostasis Concepts 1. Starling's Law of Capillary forces is the force behind the movements of fluid in capillary beds throughout the body. The two forces at work are hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. Homeostasis is achieved when these two forces are equal in the capillary- cell interfaces. When...

Mr. Jeffers was admitted 2 days ago for a carotid endarterectomy. A Foley catheter was inserted intraoperatively and remains in place. His urine output has declined markedly despite continued IV fluid infusion. Today his morning labs reveal a BUN of 19 mg/dL and a creatinine of 2 mg/dL. A leading differential includes: A. Foley lodged in the urethra causing post-renal failure B. Decreased renal perfusion causing prerenal failure C. Age-related decreased eGFR causing prerenal failure D. Po...
