When discussing autonomic dysreflexia, the PTA should identify bladder distension as the most common cause. The correct answer is D.

An aberrant, overreaction of the involuntary (parasympathetic) nervous system to stimulation is referred to as autonomic dysreflexia. Changes in heart rate may occur as a result of this response, as well as excessive sweating and high blood pressure.

Autonomic dysreflexia might happen all the time and can be caused by triggers such as bladder distension (most frequent), bladder or kidney stones, a kink in a urinary catheter, UTI, fecal impaction, bed sores, an abscess toenail, fractures, menstruating, hemorrhoids, etc.

This question should be provided with answer choices, which are as follows:

  • A. Pounding headache
  • B. Change in position
  • C. Large increases in BP
  • D. Bladder distension

The correct answer is D.

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.

Well, we know that a lot of the ancient civilizations were first-handedly affected by disease. For example, Native Americans were severely impacted by the spread of pestilence. 90% of their population was completely killed off. I think that would be enough to concern them, don't you think? :P
