Embalming 3 assessment 3
A condition in which interstitial spaces contain such excessive amounts of fluid that the skin remains depressed after palpation is called solid edema
F
A condition in which moisture is retained by the cell, or abnormal amounts of moisture are allowed to pass into the cell, is called pitting edema.
F
A hypotonic solution should be used on the edematous case.
F
A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared is called hypotonic
F
A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared is called isotonic
F
Alternate drainage is the method of drainage in which the drainage is stopped at intervals while the injection continues
F
An isotonic solution should be used on cases that have a normal moisture content.
F
An isotonic solution should be used on the edematous case.
F
Anasarca is edema of the chest cavity
F
Areas that exhibit pitting edema must be excised for reduction
F
Ascites is severe edema of the thoracic cavity
F
Ascites should be treated by the injection of an astringent arterial solution.
F
Concurrent drainage is the method of drainage in which the drainage is stopped at intervals while the injection continues
F
Dehydration often accompanies burns, especially 2nd degree burns.
F
Hydrothorax should be treated by aspiration of the abdominal cavity and injection of undiluted cavity fluid into that cavity.
F
Hydrothorax should be treated by aspiration of the peritoneal cavity and injection of undiluted cavity fluid into that cavity
F
Hypodermic tissue builder (or filler), which is used to restore the sunken features of dehydrated cases, should be injected prior to arterial embalming.
F
If a body has edema, the embalmer should start the embalming process with a pre-injection solution.
F
If the deceased had edema, the embalmer should use an arterial solution with a high humectant content
F
If your embalming solution is too hypotonic, dehydration may result.
F
Increased capillary permeability would most likely have no effect on the translocation of microorganisms.
F
Postmortem stain is a postmortem, intravascular discoloration.
F
Purge is an unusual occurrence in edematous cases.
F
Severe generalized edema is called ascites
F
Solid edema is edema between the cells.
F
The abnormal accumulation of fluids in tissue or body cavities is called ascites.
F
The cooling of the body prior to death
agonal algor
The increase in temperature of the body prior to death
agonal fever
A condition in which moisture is retained by the cell, or abnormal amounts of moisture are allowed to pass into the cell, is called solid edema.
T
An isotonic solution has little usefulness in embalming.
T
Anasarca is severe generalized edema.
T
Ascites is edema of the abdominal cavity
T
Ascites should be treated by aspiration of the peritoneal cavity and injection of undiluted cavity fluid into that cavity.
T
Concurrent drainage is the method of drainage in which drainage occurs continuously during arterial injection.
T
Dehydration is the loss of moisture from body tissues which may occur antemortem or postmortem (antemortem febrile disease, diarrhea or emesis; postmortem injection of embalming solution or through absorption by the air)
T
Dehydration of a body resulting from a fan blowing directly on the body is an example of surface evaporation.
T
Edema between the cells is called pitting edema.
T
Edema in the alveoli of the lungs id called pulmonary edema
T
Edema in the tissue spaces is called pitting edema.
T
If your embalming solution is too astringent, dehydration may result.
T
If your embalming solution is too hypertonic, dehydration may result.
T
Livor mortis is a postmortem, intravascular discoloration.
T
Osmosis is the passage of solvent from a solution of LESSER to one of GREATER solute concentrations when the two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane
T
Postmortem cellular death follows somatic death.
T
Solid edema is edema within the body cells
T
The pathological death of body cells as a result of disease processes (ex. gangrene) is called necrosis.
T
The term edematous means 'characterized by or pertaining to edema'
T
Livor mortis is a postmortem sign of death.
T It is not a sign of decomposition

humectant
Abnormal accumulation of fluids in a saclike structure, especially the scrotal sac:
hydrocele
The abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluids in the ventricles of the brain is called:
hydrocephalus
The abnormal accumulation of fluid in the thoracic cavity:
hydrothorax
