Imagine that you have been drinking a large amount of relatively pure water over the course of the day, enough to drop the osmol

arity of your body fluids down from a normal level (300 mOsm) to an abnormally low level (295 mOsm). Soon after this, which of the following statements do you predict will be true? Select ALL that will be true.
A) Following this you will produce urine with a U/P ratio < 1.

B) Following this you will produce hyperosmotic urine.

C) Following this you will temporarily be less thirsty than usual.

D) Following this you will temporarily generate metabolic water at a slower rate than usual.

E) Following this you will temporarily lose water via evaporation across your lung epithelia at a faster rate than usual.

Answer:

the correct answer is C

Explanation:

Faced with this situation, there is hyposmolarity that excessively increases the solvent and the solute is found in a lower concentration in the solution, in this case when speaking of the organism we would be speaking of blood.

The blood volume will increase, the blood pressure too, therefore the glomerular filtration will be higher and the urine will be increased but with less concentration of solutes, therefore hyposmolar.

In the case of the respiratory system, part will excrete as water vapor and another will excrete the epithelium as perspiration.

For all this that occurs in the body, the person will then be less thirsty than usual until equilibrium is reached, since the pressure will be increased, the osmolarity will be decreased and the renal excression will also be increased until the moment they reach the volemia and the balanced osmolarity. system

A patient has gone into cardiac arrest. Prior to the arrest, a 12-lead ECG showed flat T waves, prominent U waves and prolonged
Vika [28.1K]

The underlying cause you should suspect during the 12-lead ECG test on the patient is Hypokalemia.

<h3>What is Hypokalemia?</h3>

Hypokalemia is a medical disorder that results from low levels of potassium in the blood.

During 12-lead ECG test, hypokalemia can cause dynamic changes in T-wave morphology and prolonged QT intervals.

Thus, the underlying cause you should suspect during the 12-lead ECG test on the patient is Hypokalemia.

Dé un ejemplo de un sistema de órganos y proporcione su función general y la función
gavmur [86]

Answer:  

El sistema respiratorio humano es una serie de órganos responsables de tomar oxígeno y expulsar dióxido de carbono. Los órganos primarios del sistema respiratorio son los pulmones, que llevan a cabo este intercambio de gases a medida que respiramos, otro órgano que nuestro sistema respiratorio tiene es el diafragma, el diafragma es un músculo esquelético delgado que se encuentra en la base del cofre y separa el abdomen del pecho, se contrae y se aplana cuando inhalas. Esto crea un efecto de vacío que atrae el aire hacia los pulmones cuando exhalas, el diafragma se relaja y el aire sale de los pulmones.

A client is seen in the primary care provider’s office with reports of polydipsia and polyuria without polyphagia. An assessment
Allushta [10]

Answer: (A) Hyperal dosteronism

Explanation:

In the case of hyperaldosteronism the levels of secretion of aldosterone increases. This can become responsible for alkolosis and hyperkalemia. High blood pressure, low levels of potassium, headache, muscle weakness, numbness and feeling tired are the symptoms of the hyper dosteronism. Also the increase in the content of sodium and decrease in levels of magnesium causes polyuria and polydipsia without causing polyphagia.

Why do you think that Arjun must continue to take antibiotics for five weeks following his release from the hospital
3241004551 [841]

TLDR: Antibiotics must be taken several weeks to fully kill the bacteria. Else, surviving bacteria develops drug resistance.

Antibiotic prescription really depends on the patient's condition. Some conditions like major surgery or diseases that cause immunosuppression are more prone to bacterial infection, thus they must take antibiotics for prolonged periods of time to fight their current infections or prevent further infections.

Antibiotics, as a general rule, must be given 7 days or several weeks (depending on the bacteria/pathogen) to be sure that all the disease-causing bacteria are dead. If the drugs are taken only until symptoms fade, the surviving bacteria (now fewer in number and not causing symptoms) will develop mutations that may help resist the previously-taken antibiotic, giving rise to drug resistance.

Thus, Arjun must take the antibiotics for several weeks more (according to the doctor's orders, of course) to kill all remaining bacteria and also to prevent bacterial drug resistance. Which is really problematic, since we're slowly losing our number of effective antibiotics.

A woman has a long history of seasonal allergies that are typically accompanied by rhinorrhea, red eyes, and frequent sneezing.
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Rhinorrhea may be defined as the medical condition in which the mucus is completely filled in the nasal cavity. This condition might cause red eyes and runny nose.

This condition might occur due to the viral infection. This condition is marked and sensed by the sensory receptors present in the nasal cavities. This initiates the CNS reflex in the body and result in the frequent sneezing in the individual.
