The nurse is caring for a patient who is in hypovolemic
shock following an extensive burn injury. What is the
intravenous fluid of choice for this patient in the
emergent phase of treatment?
a) Lactated Ringers
b) 0.45 NS with 20 mEq potassium chloride
c) Fresh Frozen Plasma
d) 5% Dextrose in saline - ....ANSWER.....✓✓a) Lactated
Ringers
*Isotonic solutions (crystalloids) are used to restore
fluid volume in patients with shock. Lactated Ringers is
isotonic. Normal saline is also isotonic.
The client on a ventilator is assessed for untoward
responses to the therapy. Which of the following would
indicate a possible complication of ventilator therapy?
a) Blood pressure has increased 5mmHg in the last 24
hours
b) Lung sounds absent on one side.
c) Forceful cough periodically
d) Broncho-vesicular breath sounds throughout
peripheral lung fields. - ....ANSWER.....✓✓b) Lung
sounds absent on one side.
, 4|Page
*This may indicate a pneumothorax--a complication
caused by barotrauma.
The pressure reading during inspiration on the
ventilator of a client receiving mechanical ventilation is
high and alarming intermittently. What is the nurse's
first action?
a) Assess the client's oxygenation.
b) Call the RT to check the ventilator settings.
c) Listen for bilateral lung sounds.
d) Determine whether an air leak is present in the
client's endotracheal tube cuff. - ....ANSWER.....✓✓a)
Assess the client's oxygenation.
Which assessment finding best indicates that fluid
resuscitation therapy for the patient with hypertonic
dehydration has acheived the desired effect?
a) Peripheral pulses changed from 1+ to 3+
b) Neck veins slightly distended @ 30 degrees
c) Serum sodium level has changed from 151 to 143.
d) Pulse oximetry shows oxygen saturation of 95% -
....ANSWER.....✓✓c) Serum sodium level has changed
from 151 to 143.
