### Dialysis and Solute Adjustments in Renal PatientsA kidney patient is receiving dialysis to adjust the solutes in his blood to normal values. Assume the dialysis bag is permeable to urea, sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate to determine which way each molecule would move.#### Normal Blood Values:- **Urea:** 7-20 mg/dcl- **Potassium:** 3.6-5.2 mg/dcl- **Sodium:** 135-145 mg/dcl- **Bicarbonate:** 23-30 mg/dcl#### Renal Patient's Blood:- **Urea:** 30 mg/dcl- **Potassium:** 7 mg/dcl- **Sodium:** 128 mg/dcl- **Bicarbonate:** 27 mg/dclUsing the information above, state whether the concentration of solutes in the dialysate solution should be **greater than**, **lesser than**, or **equal to** the concentration of solutes in the patient’s blood.#### Select the Appropriate Option for Each Solute:- **Urea:** [ Select ]- **Potassium:** [ Select ]- **Sodium:** [ Select ]- **Bicarbonate:** [ Select ]

Students were asked to trace the path of blood entering the kidney to the formation of urine. The pathways that the students came up with are shown in the image below. Which student did not trace the pathway of blood to formation of urine correctly? Mike's Pathway efferent arteriole renal vein glomerulus loop of Henle proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) distal convoluted tubule (DCT) collecting duct renal pelvis ureter urinary bladder urethra Paula's Pathway afferent arteriole glomerulus Bowman's capsule proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) loop of Henle distal convoluted tubule (DCT) collecting duct renal pelvis ureter urinary bladder urethra
Over the course of a day, approximately how much water is filtered by the kidneys? 1-2L 180L 80L O 20L
the major difference between plasma and interstitial fluid is the absence of plasma proteins from the interstitial. explain how this affects solute distrbution and what kind of correction you would do it if you were measuring solute concentration
A 30-year-old patient presents to the clinic with complaints of excessive thirst and urination. The patient reports drinking several liters of water per day but continues to feel dehydrated. A physical examination reveals no significant findings, and the patient's vital signs are stable. Laboratory tests show elevated serum sodium levels and an osmolarity that is higher than expected for the measured serum sodium concentration. However, urine osmolarity is inappropriately low. Which of the diagnostic tests would be able to confirm the likely diagnosis?
The choices are: 1. donate OR accept 2. hydronium OR hydroxide
Hypovolemia and circulatory failure in DKA and HHNKS can be attributed to which factors? Question 75 options: Hyperinsulinemia and renal impairment Hyperglycemia and osmotic diuresis Infection and counterregulatory hormones Metabolic acidosis and CNS depression
A urinalysis is a test that examines physical, chemical and microscopic aspects of urine. Examining urinary fluid can reveal much about the functioning of the body, as changes from the normal characteristics or appearance may reflect specific diseases. Currently, commercially-available chemical reagent sticks can be used to detect substances in urine. Of the following, which are substances that reagent sticks can test for? a. Substances produced by the body, and naturally found in urine. b. Substances produced by the body, but not usually present in urine. c. Substances not normally found in the body. d. a. and c. only e. a., b., and c.
In dialysis, large molecules are allowed to diffuse through a semi-permeable membrane. True False
During countercurrent multiplication which of the following does NOT occur Group of answer choices The ascending limb is relatively impermeable to water The filtrate leaving the ascending limb, entering the DCT has a lower osmolarity than the filtrate entering the ascending limb The descending limb actively transports sodium and chloride Water is reabsorbed at the descending limb The filtrate entering the ascending limb has a high osmolarity compared to the filtrate just entering the descending limb
Question 1.
An IV bag containing 50 mg/250 mL of nitroglycerin is to be administered at a rate of 39 mcg/min. Calculate the drip rate in drops/min if using a drip set that provides 19 drops per milliliter. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Please no written by hand solution Respond to this reflection. Do you agree and/or disagree with their reflection? Be sure to respond to specific points in the reflection. Do you have anything to add to supplement their response? 250 word minimum. "This week I reviewed quite a bit about what I’ve previously learned about the kidneys and urine production. Urine is quite interesting to me, since it’s such a quality indicator of our health. I learned about some new testing that I hadn’t heard of before this week. I’m familiar with blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests, which test the levels of urea in the blood, thus testing the function of the kidneys. I’m also familiar with the common urine test, as I had quite a few during my pregnancy! I also was aware that one could have a cystoscopy, which is a visual exploration of the urethra and the bladder via an endoscope. I didn’t know about is the creatinine clearance test, which tests the functioning of the glomeruli in filtering out…
