following would alert the AGACNP for the possibility that the patient is over
hydrated, thereby increasing the risk for increased intracranial pressure?
A. BUN = 10
B. Shift output = 800 ml, shift input =
825 ml Unchanged weight
C. Serum osmolality = 260
2. Q ANSWER:
A patient who has been in the intensive care unit for 17 days develops
hyponatremic hyperosmolality. The patient weighs 132 lb (59.9 kg), is intubated,
and is receiving mechanical ventilation. The serum osmolality is 320 mOsm/L kg
H2O. Clinical signs include tachycardia and hypotension. The adult-gerontology
acute care nurse practitioner's initial treatment is to:
A. reduce serum osmolality by infusing a 5%
reduce serum sodium concentration by infusing a 0.45%
sodium
chloride
solution
dextrose in 0.2% sodium chloride solution B.
C. replenish volume by infusing a 0.9% sodium chloride
solution D. replenish volume by infusing a 5% dextrose
in water solution.

complains of nausea and has had one episode of vomiting, but he denies any
,diarrhea. His vital signs are as follows: temperature 101.9°F, pulse 100 bpm,
respirations 16 breaths per minute, and blood pressure 110/70 mm Hg. A
complete blood count reveals a WBC count of 19,100 cells/µL. The AGACNP

evening the AGACNP is called to the bedside to evaluate the patient for
persistent and progressive discomfort. Likely causes of her symptoms include all
of the following except:
A. Colic due to
return of
peristalsis
B. Leakage from
the duodenal
stump
C. Gastric
retention
D. Hemorrhage

states she is experiencing constant RUQ pain that radiates to her back. The
pain is not relieved by bowel movements, over the counter antacids or food.
Review of initial labs shows elevated amylase and lipase and you diagnose her
with acute pancreatitis. Which test will you order next to determine the
underlying cause of her pancreatitis? serum cholesterol level blood toxicology
