Question 1

A patient in the hospital has hypernatremia. What condition should the healthcare professional assess for?

◦ Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone
◦ Hypersecretion of aldosterone
◦ Brief bouts of vomiting or diarrhea
◦ Excessive diuretic therapy

Question 2

A patient has a serum sodium level of 165 mEq/L. The healthcare professional explains that the clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, and coma are caused by what mechanism?

◦ High sodium in the blood vessels pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood vessels, causing brain cells to shrink.
◦ High sodium in the brain cells pulls water out of the blood vessels into the brain cells, causing them to swell.
◦ Low sodium in the blood vessels pulls potassium out of the brain cells, which slows the synapses in the brain.
◦ Low sodium in the blood vessels draws chloride into the brain cells followed by water, causing the brain cells to swell.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
