deficit (FVD) in a client receiving diuretic therapy? SATA
A. Dry oral mucosa
B. Hypertension
C. Hypotension
D. Jugular venous distention
E. Tachycardia with peripheral pulses 3+ bilaterally
Give this one a try later!
A. Dry oral mucosa
C. Hypotension
(Other options are characteristic of fluid volume excess/FVE)
What are some of the main causes of hyponatremia?
Give this one a try later!
, Diet, excess fluid intake, medications, SIADH, CHF (fluid overload), CKD
(inability to excrete excess fluid, dilutes Na)
What are some of the main causes of hypokalemia?
Give this one a try later!
Excess urine output, diarrhea/vomiting, medications, diet, diuretics, loss of
GI secretions (suctioning), NPO for a few days, exercising in heat, drinking
The nurse reviews a client's electrolyte laboratory report and notes that the potassium
level is 2.5 mEq/L. Which pattern would the nurse note on the ECG as a result of the
laboratory value?
A. U waves
B. Absent P waves
C. Elevated T waves
D. Elevated ST segment
Give this one a try later!
A. U waves
(hypokalemia)

Give this one a try later!
, seafood, whole grains, leafy green vegetables, nuts/seeds
Explain the role of magnesium in pre-term labor
Give this one a try later!
Magnesium stops contractions for pre-term labor in pre eclampsia in high
doses
