,1. Question: A nursing student observes that a patient is
hypovolemic. Which solution is most appropriate for rapidly
expanding plasma volume?
A) 0.9% Normal Saline
B) Lactated Ringer’s
C) 5% Albumin
D) D5W
Answer: C) 5% Albumin
Rationale: Albumin is a colloid and is effective in expanding
plasma volume quickly due to its protein content, which draws
fluid from the interstitial and intracellular spaces into the
vascular compartment.
2. Question: What is the primary focus of nursing care for a
patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
A) Providing education on weight loss
B) Maintaining adequate oxygenation
C) Completing daily wound assessments
D) Administering antibiotics to prevent infection
Answer: B) Maintaining adequate oxygenation

ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) guidelines.
5. Question: Which pharmacokinetic process involves the
movement of a drug from its site of administration into the
bloodstream?
A) Absorption
B) Distribution
C) Metabolism
D) Excretion
Answer: A) Absorption
