Question 1
Your patient is a 34-year-old woman who was involved in a serious motor vehicle crash. Her respiratory rate has slowed to 6 breaths per minute. What is her minute volume?
◦ 3,000 mL
◦ 5,000 mL
◦ 506 L
◦ 83.3 mL
Question 2
Your patient's leg was amputated below the knee during a motorcycle crash. How will his body initially react?
◦ His blood pressure will decrease, signaling to the stretch receptors to contract, causing a temporary stabilization of blood pressure.
◦ His blood pressure will increase, signaling to the stretch receptors to contract, causing a temporary stabilization of blood pressure.
◦ The stretch receptors will receive a signal to constrict, which will cut off blood flow to the severed limb, preserving blood pressure.
◦ There will be no change in vessel size due to the severity of the injury; his blood pressure will decrease substantially.
