Answer:

Most common (as in those appearing in over half of cases) would be polyuria with polydipsia, weight loss, fatigue, and dyspnea. Vomiting is probable too, as well as preceding febrile illness, abdominal pain, and polyphagia.

Answer:

Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:

Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
pH: acidosis
PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
HCO₃⁻: normal

whose interpretation is: respiratory acidosis.

Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces hypoventilation, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.

Acidosis is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in pH below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.
Hypoxemia is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.
Hypercapnia is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.
Normal bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.

Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

Answer: 1. Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.

2. Plasma is the main component of blood and consists mostly of water, with proteins, ions, nutrients, and wastes mixed in. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. White blood cells are part of the immune system and function in immune response.

3.Within the bone marrow, all blood cells originate from a single type of unspecialized cell called a stem cell. When a stem cell divides, it first becomes an immature red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet-producing cell.

4. Epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla, raise blood pressure by increasing heart rate and the contractility of the heart muscles and by causing vasoconstriction of arteries and veins. These hormones are secreted as part of the fight‐or‐flight response.
