Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Sensitivity of individual receptors is not an issue.
Rationale 2: Cell-wall receptors do not decrease in number.
Rationale 3: When a hormone that was administered in large doses is discontinued, it takes several days for cells to produce enough protein receptors to capture endogenous hormone. Tapering the dose allows time for the process to finish before the hormone is stopped.
Rationale 4: The shape of the receptors is unchanged.
Global Rationale: When a hormone that was administered in large doses is discontinued, it takes several days for cells to produce enough protein receptors to capture endogenous hormone. Tapering the dose allows time for the process to finish before the hormone is stopped. Sensitivity of individual receptors is not the issue. Cell-wall receptors do not decrease in number and the shape of the receptors is unchanged.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The client's corticosteroid receptors decreased in number while exogenous steroids were given. This process is known as down-regulation.
Rationale 2: Epinephrine helps support blood pressure, but its levels are not affected by steroid therapy.
Rationale 3: The client's corticosteroid receptors decreased in number while exogenous steroids were given. This process is known as down-regulation. It takes several days for cells to grow enough new receptors to capture all the available endogenous steroid. That process is known as up-regulation.
Rationale 4: Epinephrine helps support blood pressure, but its levels are not affected by steroid therapy.
