Question

1. Adequate potassium, calcium and magnesium serum levels help to increase blood pressure? T or F

2. if a person is dehydrated, which of the following physicsl symptoms will be observed?

a. Urine color would become darker

b. Urine output would increase

c. Skin will become moist

d. increase in appetite to compensate for decreased fluid.

3. Based on the PH scale, which of the following statement is True?

a. Regardless of which of the continuum, extreme values is PH can be associated with death

b. Detergent is representative of an acidic PH value.

c. Normal blood PH exists within a range of 7.00 to 7.45

d. A PH 14 is highly acidic

4. Regardless of whether a person is diagnosed with essential or secondary hypertension they are at risk for similar complications? T or F

Answer 1

1. Adequate amount of potassium, calcium, and magnesium in serum level - Needed for normal blood pressure. Adequate amount of these ions do not increase blood pressure, instead maintain good blood pressure

Hence that statement is false

2. Usually, the urine color is light color, when dehydration occur, water content will be less in the urine where as solute will be more in relation with water. This causes the formation of concentrated urine and to change its color from pale or light to dark.

Dehydration decrease urine out put and dryness of skin will occur

Hence the answer is a. Urine color would become darker

3. Regardless of acidic or basic, the extreme changes in pH will shutdown all enzyme system in our body leads to shutdown of all metabolic reactions eventually death occur

Normal pH of blood is ranges from 7.35 to 7.45

pH 1 is highly acidic where as pH 14 is highly basic. pH 7 is Neutral

Answer is a. Regardless of which of the continuum, extreme values in pH can be associated with death
