The control of gastric acid secretion in response to a meal involves several events that take place over a 4- or 5-hr period following the meal. These events include

(1) a decrease in the pH of the gastric contents,

(2) an increase in the rate of acid secretion,

(3) a decrease in the rate of acid secretion, and

(4) an increase in the pH of the gastric contents. Which of the following best describes

the correct temporal order of events over a 4- or 5-hr period following a meal?

A female patient has unexplained severe hypernatremia (plasma Na+ = 167 mmol/L) and complains of frequent urination and large urine volumes. A urine specimen reveals that the Na+ concentration is 15mmol/L (very low) and the osmolarity is 155 mOsm/L (very low). Laboratory tests reveal: plasma renin activity = 3 ng angiotensin I/ml/hr (normal = 1.0), plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) = 30 pg/ml (normal = 3 pg/ml), and plasma aldosterone = 20 ng/dL (normal = 6 ng/dL). Which of the following is the most likely reason for her hypernatremia?
