How do you convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit – answers C+40,
multiply 9/5 and subtract 40
How do you convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade – answers F+40,
multiply 5/9 and subtract 40
How do you test for the Chvostek sign and what happens if there is a
positive response? – answers Elicitation: Tapping on the face at a
point just anterior to the ear and just below the zygomatic bone
Postitive response: Twitching of the ipsilateral facial muscles,
suggestive of neuromuscular excitability caused by hypocalcemia
How do you test for the Trousseau's sign and what happens if there is
a positive response? – answers Elicitation: Inflating a
sphygmomanometer cuff above systolic blood pressure for several
minutes
Page 1 of 37
,Positive response: Muscular contraction including flexion of the wrist
and metacarpophalangeal joints, hyperextension of the fingers, and
flexion of the thumb on the palm, suggestive of neuromuscular
excitability caused by hypocalcemia
How do you treat fluid volume deficits? – answers Strict I&O Replace
with isotonic fluids monitor Bp weight daily
How does atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) work? – answers It is the
opposite of aldosterone, so it causes excretion of Nas and H2O
How often is nitroglycerine administered and when should you not
give it? – answers up to 3 times (every 5 minutes) do not give when
BO is less than 90/60
How should you address questions related to Maslow's Hierarchy of

,How would you treat fluid volume excess? – answers Give Diuretics
(Lasix), fluid restrictions, weigh daily, monitor K+
If a question is related to the nursing process, read the question to
determine the step of the nursing process. What are the steps in the
nursing process and what kind of question might be related to that
step. – answers Assessment question address the gathering and
verification of data.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is what type of drug?
What is the maximum recommended dosage?
What should you monitor? – answers Nonopioid Analgesics.
Max dose: 4000 mg (4 g) in 24 hrs
Monitor liver function
Aldosterone attracts what? – answers Sodium
aminoglycosides (mycins) - answers
Angiotensin II in the lungs is a potent? – answers vasodialator
Page 3 of 37
, At what pain level should an Opioid Analgesic be considered? –
answers Pain level of 6 or greater. Opioids are used for moderate to
severe pain.
Define fluid volume excess: Hypervolemia – answers too much fluid
in the vascular space (first).
Vascular equals the vessels --> veins, arteries, capillaries, heart
chambers, etc.
DO NOT delegate what you can EAT – answers E = evaluate
A = assess
T = teach
EPI is always given in what type of syringe – answers TB syringe
HIV Nursing and Collaborative Management includes... - answers-
Monitor disease progression and immune function
-Initiate and monitor (ART) antiretroviral therapy: to decrease viral
load and increase T cell count
-prevent development of opportunistic diseases
