Hyperventilation, as in oxygen deficiency, pulmonary disease or CVA, can result in: A respiratory acidosis B respiratory alkalosis C metabolic acidosis D metabolic alkalosis - correct answer B In respiratory alkalosis pCO2 of arterial blood is decreased (below 35 mmHg). Hyperventilation causes the pH to increase. The kidneys will attempt to compensate, but often having the patient breathe into a paper bag and then rebreathe the exhaled mixture of CO2 and oxygen from the bag. The suffix -azine identifies a group of generic drugs used to treat: A psychosis B gouty arthritis C inflammation D viral infection - correct answer A The ending -azine is common to generic phenothiazine antipsychotic drugs, such as chlorpromazine [Thorazine], prochlorperazine [Compazine], and trifluoperazine [Stelazine].

Which of the following might result in an elevated urine specific gravity? A proteinuria B diabetes mellitus C diabetes insipidus D hemoglobinuria - correct answer B Specific gravity is increased in conditions that result in an increased concentration of dissolved materials in the urine.

Part one evaluates functional systems (pyramidal, cerebellar, brain stem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, mental, and other). Part two is a disability status scale from 0 to 10. Which of the following is a phase of gastric secretion that refers to the reflexes initiated by the sensory receptors of sight, smell, taste or thought? A cephalic B gastric C intestinal D emptying - correct answer A Even before food enters the stomach, the sight, smell, taste or thought of food initiates this reflex.
