Document Summary
The purpose of this study guide is to assist with focusing your studying. These are not the exact questions that will be asked so it is important you understand the concepts that were reviewed in class. One kidney removed = remaining kidney cells enlarge. Imbalance of fluid and electrolytes: an increase or decrease of electrolytes or water can disrupt cellular function. Identify the primary adrenal gland hormones that are secreted by the adrenal cortex & adrenal medulla. Half life: the amount of time it takes for a medication etc. to reduce to half the original dose: example: if tylenol has a half life of 4 hours and the dose of 500mg was given at 12pm. At 4pm the dose in the body would be 250mg. Synergistic interaction: when the interaction causes an increase in the effects of one or both of the drugs.
