brain
Which laboratory test result should the nurse expect in a patient with
alcoholic ketoacidosis? - Answer-Below normal to slightly elevated
serum glucose level
Which finding is characteristic of preeclampsia? - Answer-Proteinuria
Sciatic nerve damage is associated with dislocation of which joint?
A. Patellar
,B. Knee
C. Hip
D. Ankle - Answer-C. Hip
Which intervention is indicated for a patient with circumferential full-
thickness burns of the chest, inadequate chest expansion, and
restlessness? - Answer-Escharotomy
Calcium channel blockers are indicated to treat which dysrhythmia?
A. Atrial fibrillation
B. Accelerated junctional tachycardia
C. Second-degree atrioventricular block, type II
D. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia - Answer-A.
Treatment of atrial fibrillation aims to control the rapid ventricular rate
with medications, such as calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers.
Calcium channel blockers are not used to treat the other dysrhythmias
listed. Accelerated junctional tachycardia is a transient rhythm that only
requires treatment of the underlying disorder. Patients with second-
degree atrioventricular block, type II, require careful monitoring and
may need transcutaneous pacing. Treatment for polymorphic ventricular
tachycardia is magnesium sulfate and defibrillation if the patient's
condition is unstable.
