▪ In a patient with hypokalemia (serum potassium level below 3.5 mEq/L), presenting signs
and symptoms include muscle weakness and cardiac arrhythmias.
▪ During cardiac arrest, if an I.V. route is unavailable, epinephrine can be administered
endotracheally.
▪ Pernicious anemia results from the failure to absorb vitamin B12 in the GI tract and
causes primarily GI and neurologic signs and symptoms.
▪ A patient who has a pressure ulcer should consume a high-protein, high-calorie diet,
unless contraindicated.
▪ The CK-MB isoenzyme level is used to assess tissue damage in myocardial infarction.
▪ After a 12-hour fast, the normal fasting blood glucose level is 80 to 120 mg/dl.
▪ A patient who is experiencing digoxin toxicity may report nausea, vomiting, diplopia,
blurred vision, light flashes, and yellow-green halos around images.
▪ Anuria is daily urine output of less than 100 ml.
,▪ In remittent fever, the body temperature varies over a 24-hour period, but remains
elevated.
▪ Risk of a fat embolism is greatest in the first 48 hours after the fracture of a long bone.
It’s manifested by respiratory distress.
▪ To help venous blood return in a patient who is in shock, the nurse should elevate the
patient’s legs no more than 45 degrees. This procedure is contraindicated in a patient with a
head injury.
▪ The pulse deficit is the difference between the apical and radial pulse rates, when taken
simultaneously by two nurses.

▪ To reduce the patient’s risk of vomiting and aspiration, the nurse should schedule
postural drainage before meals or 2 to 4 hours after meals.
▪ Blood pressure can be measured directly by intra-arterial insertion of a catheter
connected to a pressure-monitoring device.
▪ A positive Kernig’s sign, seen in meningitis, occurs when an attempt to flex the hip of a
recumbent patient causes painful spasms of the hamstring muscle and resistance to further
extension of the leg at the knee.
▪ In a patient with a fractured, dislocated femur, treatment begins with reduction and
immobilization of the affected leg.
▪ Herniated nucleus pulposus (intervertebral disk) most commonly occurs in the lumbar and
lumbosacral regions.
,▪ Laminectomy is surgical removal of the herniated portion of an intervertebral disk.
▪ Surgical treatment of a gastric ulcer includes severing the vagus nerve (vagotomy) to
reduce the amount of gastric acid secreted by the gastric cells.
▪ Valsalva’s maneuver is forced exhalation against a closed glottis, as when taking a deep
breath, blowing air out, or bearing down.
▪ When mean arterial pressure falls below 60 mm Hg and systolic blood pressure falls below
80 mm Hg, vital organ perfusion is seriously compromised.
▪ Lidocaine (Xylocaine) is the drug of choice for reducing premature ventricular
contractions.

administering oxygen, diuretics, and positive inotropic drugs as prescribed.
▪ A positive tuberculin skin test is an induration of 10 mm or greater at the injection site.
