Rasmussen MDC 2 SECOND TEST |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS |\ |\ |\
A patient is suffering from nausea, vomiting, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
diarrhea, what electrolyte imbalance would you expect? -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔HYPOKALEMIA |\ |\
The nurse notes a positive CHVOSTEKS sign in her
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
patient, which electrolyte imbalance is the patient
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
suffering from? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔HYPOCALCEMIA |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CHVOSTEKS sign - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is contraction |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of facial muscles provoked by lightly tapping over the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
facial nerve anterior to the ear as it crosses the zygomatic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
arch. This induces twitching of the homolateral facial
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
muscles due to hyperexcitability of the nerve.|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Trosseau's sign - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔latent tetany is |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
most commonly positive in the setting of hypocalcemia.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
[1] The sign is observable as a carpopedal spasm induced
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
by ischemia secondary to the inflation of a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sphygmomanometer cuff, commonly on an individual's |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
arm, to 20 mmHg over their systolic blood pressure for 3
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
minutes.

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
you expect to administer? - CORRECT ANSWERS

✔✔ISOTONIC

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
currently being treated with an NG tube, what imbalance?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
