Embalming 3 - Week 3
The person you are about to embalm had congestive heart failure. The picture above shows what happened after you pressed on the legs. The rest of the [unautopsied] body is normal (no edema). This is an example of [a] edema. You would most likely use the [b] arteries for injection; you would prepare a [c] solution for the legs and a [d] solution for the rest of the body.
This is an example of pitting edema. You would most likely use the femoral arteries for injection; you would prepare a hypertonic solution for the legs and a slightly hypotonic solution for the rest of the body.
A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than solvent is called hypertonic
True
A solution having a lesser concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared is called hypotonic
True
An isotonic solution has little usefulness in embalming.
True
Anasarca is severe generalized edema.
True
Ascites is edema of the abdominal cavity
True
Concurrent drainage is the method of drainage in which drainage occurs continuously during arterial injection.
True
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)
True
Dehydration of a body resulting from a fan blowing directly on the body is an example of surface evaporation.
True
If the legs are severely edematous, one possible treatment would be to elevate the legs.
True
If your embalming solution is too hypertonic, dehydration may result.
True
In a case of renal failure, disinfection and preservation are extremely important, but it is not necessary that the tissue be intensely firmed. In other words, you can disinfect and preserve this case without have super-firm tissues.
True
Leakage is a major concern with edematous cases.
True
A condition in which interstitial spaces contain such excessive amounts of fluid that the skin remains depressed after palpation is called solid edema
False
A hypotonic solution should be used on the edematous case.
False
A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared is called hypotonic
False
A solution having a greater concentration of dissolved solute than the solution to which it is compared is called isotonic
False
Alternate drainage is the method of drainage in which the drainage is stopped at intervals while the injection continues
False
An isotonic solution should be used on the dehydrated case.
False
An isotonic solution should be used on the edematous case.
False
Anasarca is edema of the chest cavity
False
Chronic renal failure causes a retention of toxic wastes in the body, and the tissues become alkaline
False
Dehydration often accompanies burns, especially 2nd degree burns.
False
If your embalming solution is too hypotonic, dehydration may result.
False
Severe generalized edema is called ascites
False
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.
False
The following statement is either TRUE or FALSE. If it is TRUE, simply answer TRUE. If it is not true, please explain why it is false. Antemortem and postmortem intravascular blood discolorations often respond poorly to arterial injection and blood drainage.
False, most if the time both of these things respond well to arterial injection.
_________ can cause the dehydration of the mouth and nose. Using non-absorbent cotton Fumes from cavity fluids injected into the neck area Aspiration Hydrothorax
Fumes from cavity fluids injected into the neck area
On a body with ascites, which would be the best of the following to use: hypertonic solution because osmosis would cause the solutes in solution to move from tissue spaces into the capillaries and out as drainage hypertonic solution because osmosis would cause moisture to move from tissue spaces into the capillaries and out as drainage hypotonic solution because osmosis would cause water to move from tissue spaces into capillaries and out as drainage hypotonic solution because osmosis would cause solutes to move from capillaries into tissues and cells isotonic solution because you don't want to remove too much moisture. none of the above
none of the above
Edema in the tissue spaces is called pitting edema.
true
As you do your embalming analysis and you are considering the moisture condition of the body (whether normal, dehydrated, or edematous), which of the following techniques would be useful to consider: dilution of arterial fluid speed of arterial injection vessel(s) used for injection and drainage use of coinjection or humectant fluid
vessel(s) used for injection and drainage
lack of color where body is pressing on a surface - an intravascular discoloration that can be removed by arterial injection and venous drainage. - An extravascular discoloration that cannot be removed by arterial injection and venous drainage. - characterized by lack of color due to excessive blood loss A. contact pallor B. exsanguination C. livor mortis D. postmortem stain
QuestionSelected Match lack of color where body is pressing on a surface A. contact pallor an intravascular discoloration that can be removed by arterial injection and venous drainage. C. livor mortis An extravascular discoloration that cannot be removed by arterial injection and venous drainage. D. postmortem stain characterized by lack of color due to excessive blood loss B. exsanguination
Referring to the weekly reading: For what purpose does the writer suggest using restricted drainage for enhancing emaciated features? Restricted drainage will create intravascular pressure so that large volumes of solution will enter and remain in facial tissues. Restricted drainage is easier and takes less time. Restricted drainage will allow copious drainage to flow quickly through the vascular system. Restricted drainage will create extravascular pressure so that large volumes of solution will enter and remain in facial tissues.
Restricted drainage will create intravascular pressure so that large volumes of solution will enter and remain in facial tissues.
Bodies that have died as a result of severe burns or renal failure have a ____ preservative demand.
high
The abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluids in the ventricles of the brain is called: hydropericardium hydrocerebrum hydrocephalus hydrocephalium
hydrocephalus
The abnormal accumulation of fluid in the thoracic cavity: hydropericardium hydrothorax hydropleurisy hydrothoracis
hydrothorax
On a body with anasarca, you would use a: hypertonic solution because osmosis would cause the solutes in solution to move from tissue spaces into the capillaries and out as drainage hypertonic solution because osmosis would cause moisture to move from tissue spaces into the capillaries and out as drainage hypotonic solution because osmosis would cause water to move from tissue spaces into capillaries and out as drainage hypotonic solution because osmosis would cause solutes to move from capillaries into tissues and cells isotonic solution because you don't want to remove too much moisture. none of the above
hypertonic solution because osmosis would cause moisture to move from tissue spaces into the capillaries and out as drainage
