The pet is placed on his abdomen, with his front legs in front of him. 7 / 26 What are the primary signs & symptoms of an overheating dog? Salivation, excessive barking, & hiding Increased heart rate, excessive panting, & salivation Trembling, howling, & shedding Shedding, excessive shaking of the head, & bloodshot eyes 8 / 26 What is a normal temp in a healthy dog? 99.5-110 degrees 100-102.5 degrees 103.5-107 degrees 98.6-100 degrees 9 / 26 The term for away from the midline is: Medial Lateral Proximal Distal 10 / 26 The abbreviation 'ml' also could be stated as: Cl Cc Cd Mc 11 / 26 How many mLs are drawn up in the syringe below? 20 mL 21 mL 22 mL 23 mL 24 mL 25 mL 12 / 26 You are doing maintenance on an anesthesia machine. You happen to notice that the granules in the canister are starting to turn purple. What does this usually indicate? The granules are wet due to condensation from the patient's airway. The granules have lost the ability to absorb oxygen. The granules have lost the ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The granules are still good and only need to be changed when they turn brown. 13 / 26 What does the medical term TID / PO mean? Take with water 3 x/day Take by mouth 2 x/day Take by mouth 3 x/day Take with food 2 x/day day 14 / 26 Different types of fluids, varying in the types of molecules they contain, are used to correct volume deficits depending on which fluid compartment is determined to be deficient. Which of the following is a correct statement about replacement fluids? Crystalloids are fluids with small-molecular-weight particles that can correct interstitial fluid deficits Colloidal fluids are water-based and contain large-molecular-weight compounds and are used to correct interstitial fluid deficits Hypotonic crystalloid fluids (eg, 5% dextrose in water) are commonly used as resuscitation fluids Water-based colloidal fluids with large-molecular-weight compounds can replace clotting factors in animals with hemorrhage 15 / 26 This term refers to a collection of pus (dead white blood cells) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue due to an infection or other foreign material.

The physical parameters include mucous membrane color, capillary refill time, heart rate, pulse quality and rate, and levels of pain and consciousness. Even when these findings are normal, patients with certain historical parameters require emergency care. Patients with a history of which of the following are LEAST likely to warrant immediate transfer to the treatment area for further evaluation and care? Acute inability to walk Dystocia Presence of a wound Ingestion of a suspected toxin 19 / 26 The body has three major fluid compartments, intravascular, interstitial, and intracellular. Body fluids and some molecules move between these spaces at the level of the capillaries. Which of the following statements about body fluids is correct? Colloid oncotic pressure (COP) is created by electrolytes in the blood, primarily sodium Hydrostatic pressure is generated by blood pressure and cardiac output Most small-molecular-weight particles (small molecules, free ions, etc) move between the interstitial and intracellular compartments by passive diffusion The endothelial glycocalyx regulates intracellular fluid volume 20 / 26 Abnormalities of circulation can be due to a number of causes and may result in circulatory shock, an emergency situation. All types of circulatory shock respond to administration of fluid therapy to some extent, but some types require additional medications. Which type of circulatory shock is most readily handled with fluid therapy alone? Cardiogenic shock Distributive shock Hypovolemic shock Insulin shock 21 / 26 Noisy breathing that can be heard without a stethoscope is referred to as stridor or stertor. Stridor is typically high-pitched and continuous, whereas stertor is low-pitched, discontinuous, and described as a snoring sound. The presence of inspiratory stridor is most suggestive of which of the following? A complete large airway obstruction A partial obstruction in the extrathoracic large airway A partial obstruction in the intrathoracic large airway A partial obstruction in the small airway 22 / 26 Bradycardia in a cat, as evidenced by a heart rate <120 beats/min, is most likely associated with which of the following? Dyspnea due to allergic bronchitis (asthma) Aortic thromboembolism (“saddle thrombus”) Hypovolemic shock Severe pain 23 / 26 Your 20 kg patient is being admitted for joint surgery.
