,Q1. A patient with septic shock is receiving norepinephrine at 15 mcg/min and has a mean arterial
pressure (MAP) of 58 mm Hg. The central venous pressure (CVP) is 6 mm Hg. Which intervention
should the nurse anticipate first?
A. Increase norepinephrine infusion rate
B. Administer a 500 mL bolus of lactated Ringer's solution
C. Start vasopressin 0.04 units/min
D. Prepare for central line insertion
Correct Answer: B. Administer a 500 mL bolus of lactated Ringer's solution
Rationale: In septic shock, fluid resuscitation is the first priority when MAP is low and CVP is low
(hypovolemia). Increasing vasopressors without adequate volume can worsen tissue perfusion.
Vasopressin is typically added later. Central line insertion may be needed but is not the immediate
intervention.
Why Wrong:
A - Increasing vasopressor dose without fluid resuscitation can exacerbate hypovolemia and tissue
hypoperfusion.
C - Vasopressin is a second-line vasopressor and not indicated before optimizing fluid status.
D - Central line insertion may be necessary but does not address the immediate hypotension caused
by hypovolemia.

Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016. Intensive Care Medicine, 43(3), 304-377.
Q2. A patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is on volume-controlled ventilation
with a tidal volume of 6 mL/kg ideal body weight, PEEP of 12 cm H2O, and FiO2 of 0.8. Arterial
blood gas shows pH 7.25, PaCO2 55 mm Hg, PaO2 65 mm Hg. What is the most appropriate
ventilator adjustment?
A. Increase tidal volume to 8 mL/kg
B. Increase PEEP to 15 cm H2O
C. Increase respiratory rate to 22 breaths/min
D. Decrease FiO2 to 0.6
Correct Answer: C. Increase respiratory rate to 22 breaths/min
Rationale: The patient has hypercapnic respiratory acidosis (pH <7.35, PaCO2 >45). With low tidal
volume ventilation (lung-protective), increasing respiratory rate is the preferred method to increase
minute ventilation and lower PaCO2. Increasing tidal volume risks volutrauma. Increasing PEEP may
improve oxygenation but does not address hypercapnia. Decreasing FiO2 would worsen hypoxia.
Why Wrong:
A - Increasing tidal volume above 6 mL/kg can cause ventilator-induced lung injury in ARDS.
B - Increasing PEEP may improve oxygenation but does not directly lower PaCO2.
D - Decreasing FiO2 would worsen hypoxemia; FiO2 should be adjusted based on PaO2.

tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. New England

, Q3. A patient in the intensive care unit develops atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response
of 150 bpm. The patient is hemodynamically stable. Which intervention should the nurse question if
prescribed?
A. Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 minutes
B. Diltiazem 20 mg IV over 2 minutes
C. Synchronized cardioversion at 100 J
D. Metoprolol 5 mg IV over 5 minutes
Correct Answer: C. Synchronized cardioversion at 100 J
Rationale: Synchronized cardioversion is indicated for unstable atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular
response (hypotension, chest pain, altered mental status). In a stable patient, rate control with calcium
channel blockers (diltiazem) or beta-blockers (metoprolol) is first-line. Amiodarone can be used for
rhythm control. Therefore, cardioversion is inappropriate in this stable patient.
Why Wrong:
A - Amiodarone is an appropriate antiarrhythmic for rate or rhythm control in stable atrial
fibrillation.
B - Diltiazem is a first-line agent for rate control in stable atrial fibrillation.
D - Metoprolol is an appropriate beta-blocker for rate control.

guideline for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation. Circulation, 140(2),
e125-e151.
Q4. A patient with severe pancreatitis develops hypocalcemia. Which assessment finding is most
indicative of the need for immediate calcium replacement?
A. Serum calcium 7.8 mg/dL
B. Positive Trousseau's sign
C. QTC interval 0.48 seconds on ECG
D. Paresthesias in the fingers
Correct Answer: C. QTC interval 0.48 seconds on ECG
Rationale: A prolonged QTc interval (>0.45 seconds in men, >0.47 in women) indicates severe
hypocalcemia and risk of ventricular arrhythmias, requiring immediate IV calcium. Trousseau's sign and
paresthesias are signs of latent tetany but do not indicate imminent life-threatening arrhythmia. Serum
calcium 7.8 mg/dL is moderately low but not critical if asymptomatic.
Why Wrong:
A - Serum calcium 7.8 mg/dL is moderately low but does not automatically mandate immediate
replacement if asymptomatic.
B - Positive Trousseau's sign indicates latent tetany but is not an emergency requiring immediate IV
calcium.
D - Paresthesias are a symptom of hypocalcemia but do not indicate immediate life-threatening risk.
