A patient has a serum sodium level of 165 mEq/L. The healthcare professional explains that
the clinical manifestations of confusion, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, and coma are
caused by what mechanism?
Responda
-
High sodium in the blood vessels pulls water out of the brain cells into the blood vessels, causing brain cells to shrink.
-
High sodium in the brain cells pulls water out of the blood vessels into the brain cells, causing them to swell.
-
Low sodium in the blood vessels pulls potassium out of the brain cells, which slows the synapses in the brain.
-
Low sodium in the blood vessels draws chloride into the brain cells followed by water, causing the brain cells to swell.
