T/F question The driving force of blood circulation is the contraction of the heart atriums. Normal blood pressure is about 120/80 mm Hg. Statistically, smoking is known to cause 1 death every 6 seconds worldwide. The integumentary system is composed of connective tissue. Adipose tissue functions as an energy source and as body insulation.

The Effects of Lifestyle, Sex & Genetics on Blood Pressure Many things might affect heart rate, including the physical fitness of the individual, the presence of drugs such as caffeine or nicotine in the blood, and the age of the person. Heart rate and blood pressure work together to ensure that blood reaches cells at a rate that is sufficient to supply nutrients and remove waste products. If one variable decreases the other will increase to maintain this balance. For example, if the body detects a drop in blood pressure, it will help to correct this imbalance by increasing heart rate until the body can adjust blood pressure by other methods. Watch these videos to learn the terminology and science of blood pressure along with how to take a proper blood pressure reading. https://www.ausmed.com/cpd/articles/how-to-take-blood-pressure When a person is well hydrated and healthy the body can make these adjustments without you ever being aware.

I feel like answer C should be the answer because of the heart rate of 124 beats/minute, respirations of 16 beats/minute, and blood pressure of 75/38 mmHg, which indicate the patient is experiencing a shock. Here is a note on how I ended up with option C from my critical care textbook: "The passive leg raise is a dynamic and predictive indicator of fluid responsiveness. Blood volume from the lower body is mobilized to the heart and temporarily mimics a fluid bolus during the passive leg raise. The resultant increase in preload causes an increase in cardiac output. Perform the passive leg raise by placing the patient in a semirecumbent position with the head of the bed at 45 degrees. Record baseline measurements and then lower the head of the bed and elevate the legs to 45 degrees. Measure stroke volume, cardiac output or cardiac index, or systolic blood pressure within 30 to 90 seconds after raising the legs.

Karen is bulimic, a condition where she induces vomiting to avoid weight gain. When the doctor sees her, her weight is 89 pounds and her respiratory rate is 6 breaths/min. (Normal = 12/min.). Her blood HCO 3 - is 62 meq/L (normal 24-29). Her arterial blood pH is 7.61 (normal = 7.4) Her PCO 2 is 61 mm Hg (normal = 40mm). Why is she hypoventilating? A) Her PCO 2 is high, and the body monitors PCO 2 to control ventilation. B) Her O 2 must be low, because the body monitors O 2 to control ventilation. C) Her blood pH is basic, and the body monitors pH to control ventilation. D) Her blood bicarbonate is high, and the body monitors HCO3- to control ventilation.
