Answer 1

44. When looking at white blood cells differential nurses know that an individual has an early acute inflammatory reaction, when they notice an elevation in neutrophils.

Answer - neutrophils

Explanation - Neutrophils are a types of WBC(leukocyte) that respond primarily to infection and injury.

45. When a nurse is taking a patient's temperature, a nurse should remember the regulation of body temperature primarily occurs in Hypothalamus.

Answer - Hypothalamus

Explanation - Hypothalamus regulates our body temperature by regulating heat production and heat loss through the various organs.

46. A patient with fever heart rate believes to increase 10 beats with 1 degree F.

Heart rate was 80 beats/min

Patient temperature is 102 degrees F.

The temperature exceeds 3.4 degrees F. (102F - 98.6F = 3.5F)

Then the approximate heart rate of the patient is...

3.4 – degreeF x 10beats = 34beats/min

Patient HR was 80 beats

so, 80beatrs + 34 beats = 114 beats

Answer - The expected heart rate of the patient will be 110 beats per minute.

47. Fever and Leukocytosis is a systemic manifestation.

Answer - Fever and Leukocytosis

Explanation - Body temperature is regulated by Hypothalamus,

Leukocytosis is the increased level of leukocyte in blood, its mainly due to an infection.

These are systemic responses.

Pin, redness and pus formation are localized responses to infection.
