Which of the following statements most accurately captures the function of the ascending loop of Henle?
 
  A)
  Urine is concentrated by the selective absorption of free water in the ascending limb.
  B)
  Sodium and water are reabsorbed in equal amounts, reducing filtrate quantity but maintaining osmolality.
  C)
  The majority of solute and water reabsorption occurs in the ascending loop of Henle.
  D)
  Impermeability to water and absorption of solutes yields a highly dilute filtrate.

Question 2

Following coronary bypass graft (CABG) surgery for a massive myocardial infarction (MI) located on his left ventricle, the ICU nurses are assessing for clinical manifestations of cardiogenic shock.
 
  Which of the following assessment findings would confirm that the client may be in the early stages of cardiogenic shock? Select all that apply.
  A)
  Decreasing mean arterial pressure (MAP)
  B)
  Low BP reading of 86/60
  C)
  Urine output of 15 mL last hour
  D)
  Low pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)
  E)
  Periods of confusion

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The osmolality of the filtrate reaches a low of 100 mOsm/kg of water in the ascending limb as a result of its impermeability to water.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, B, C, E

Feedback:

Signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock include indications of hypoperfusion with hypotension (BP 96/60), decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) due to poor stroke volume, and a narrow pulse pressure. Urine output decreases because of lower renal perfusion pressures. PCWP is usually elevated due to increased preload. Periods of confusion or altered cognition/consciousness may occur because of low cardiac output.

Did you know?

Fewer than 10% of babies are born on their exact due dates, 50% are born within 1 week of the due date, and 90% are born within 2 weeks of the date.

Did you know?

The training of an anesthesiologist typically requires four years of college, 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, and 3 years of residency.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
