(McCance et al. 2014, p. 126-127).}What is edema is caused by? A. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure B. Increased plasma oncotic pressure C. Increased capillary permeability D. A & C E. A, B & C {Ans: The correct answer is D. "The pathophysiologic process of edema is related to an increase in the forces favoring fluid filtration from the capillaries and lymphatic channels into the tissues. The four most common mechanisms are: 1. Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure 2. Decreased plasma membrane oncotic pressure 3. Increased capillary membrane permeability 4. Lymphatic obstruction" (McCance et al, 2014, p. 105)}True/False: Apoptosis is an active process of programmed cell death in situations where cells are injured, tissue ducts are obstructed, infections are present, or misfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum. {Ans: Answer: True Rationale: All parts of this statement are true.
