FLUID/ELECTROLYTES Q&A
Risk factors for atherosclerosis include:
A. High HDL and low LDL
B. Low HDL and high LDL
C. Low triglycerides
D. High oxygen levels
Answer: B. Low HDL and high LDL
Rationale: LDL deposits cholesterol in vessel walls, while HDL removes it; imbalance
promotes plaque formation.
Leukemia commonly presents with:
A. High platelets and clotting
B. Bruising and thrombocytopenia
C. Hypertension
D. Hypercalcemia only
Answer: B. Bruising and thrombocytopenia
Rationale: Bone marrow failure leads to low platelets and bleeding tendencies.
LVAD is used for:
A. Kidney failure
B. End-stage heart failure
, C. Liver failure
D. Stroke prevention
Answer: B. End-stage heart failure
Rationale: LVAD supports left ventricular pumping in advanced HF.
DVT discharge teaching indicates need for further education if patient says:
A. I will take warfarin
B. I will take heparin at home
C. I will elevate my legs
D. I will avoid prolonged sitting
Answer: B. I will take heparin at home
Rationale: Heparin is inpatient therapy; outpatient anticoagulation is typically warfarin
or DOACs.
Platelet count of 4,000 after heparin suggests:
A. Normal response
B. HIT (Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia)
C. Infection
D. DKA
Answer: B. HIT
Rationale: Severe thrombocytopenia after heparin is life-threatening immune reaction.
Beta blockers cause:
A. Increased HR
B. Decreased HR
C. Increased BP
D. Bronchodilation only
Answer: B. Decreased HR
Rationale: They block sympathetic stimulation to the heart.
