Which of the following blood types is a universal recipient?

A. Low blood pressure is not typically associated with elevated potassium levels. While severe hyperkalemia can impact the cardiovascular system, it does not directly cause low blood pressure as a primary symptom.

B. Rapid respirations are generally associated with conditions like acidosis or respiratory distress but are not a primary consequence of elevated potassium levels.

C. Elevated potassium levels are not typically associated with constipation. In fact, hyperkalemia can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or abdominal cramping, but constipation is more commonly linked to conditions like low potassium levels (hypokalemia).

D. Elevated potassium levels, or hyperkalemia, can cause cardiac irregularities such as arrhythmias, which can be life-threatening if not managed promptly. This is the most significant and direct effect of high potassium levels in the blood.

A. The transverse colon is where feces travels after the ascending colon, moving from right to left across the abdomen. Feces does not move directly from the cecum to the transverse colon.

B. The descending colon is the part of the colon that runs down the left side of the abdomen. Feces moves into this section after passing through the transverse colon, not directly after the cecum.

C. The sigmoid colon is the final section of the colon before the rectum. Feces travels here after the descending colon, not immediately after the cecum.

D. The ascending colon is the section of the colon that feces travels through immediately after the cecum. It moves upward on the right side of the abdomen before passing into the transverse colon.
