Which of the following signs are commonly associated with fluid volume deficit (hypovolemia)? (Select All that Apply.)
Orthostatic hypotension
Bradycardia
Decreased skin turgor
Weight gain
Pulmonary edema
Correct Answer : A,C
A. Orthostatic hypotension is a common sign of hypovolemia, as the lack of fluid volume can lead to a drop in blood pressure when changing positions.
B. Bradycardia is not typically associated with fluid volume deficit; tachycardia is more common as the body tries to compensate for low blood volume.
C. Decreased skin turgor is a classic sign of dehydration and fluid volume deficit, indicating reduced skin elasticity.
D. Weight gain is associated with fluid volume overload, not deficit.
E. Pulmonary edema is related to fluid volume overload or congestive heart failure, not hypovolemia.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Decreased groin pain is not an indicator of therapeutic response specific to the effects of epinephrine in treating angioedema.
B. While tolerating a second dose of medication with minimal peripheral edema is positive, it does not directly reflect the immediate therapeutic effects of epinephrine.
C. Unlabored respirations indicate improved airway patency and reduced bronchoconstriction, which are key therapeutic outcomes of epinephrine administration in angioedema.
D. Blood pressure returning to premedication levels is beneficial but is not the most immediate indicator of epinephrine's therapeutic effect in managing angioedema.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. In the assembly stage, other proteins and enzymes are involved in the packaging of viral components into new virions, not integrase.
B. During the integration stage, integrase is essential as it inserts the newly formed viral DNA into the host's genome, enabling the virus to utilize the host's cellular machinery for replication.
C. Integrase does not participate in the entry stage; this stage is facilitated by other proteins that aid in the fusion of the virus with the host cell membrane.
D. Integrase is not involved in reverse transcription; that process is facilitated by the enzyme reverse transcriptase, which converts viral RNA into DNA.
