A pt is hospitalized for acute respiratory failure. While assessing the patient at shift change you note his
SpO2 has changed form 96% to 84% on room air. First line of treatment is? - ANS ✔✔administer oxygen
nasal cannula 2L
you administer oxygen 2L nasal cannula and the SpO2 is 88%. What would you do next? - ANS
✔✔administer more oxygen 4L
if does not respond up to 6L nasal cannula and then consider a mask
cardinal symptoms for hypercapnic respiratory failure include ___&___ - ANS ✔✔dyspnea, headache
a pt is admitted with a DVT in the right leg. you have the following orders. what would you do first?
a. IV 0.9 NS at 75cc/hr
b. heparin infusion

receiving IV fluids at 125ml/hr continuously for the last 12hr. Urine output for the last 4 hours has been
60ml, 42ml, 28ml, and 20ml, respectively. What is the priority action that the nurse should take?

replacement for the next day is __________ml.
a. 950
b. 1400

nurse give the client from 7PM to 7AM shift?
a. 480
b. 600
c. 492
d. 500 - ANS ✔✔a
While caring for a patient with respiratory disease, the nurse observes that the patient's SaO2 drops
from 94% to 85% when the patient ambulates in the hall. The nurse determines that:
a. supplemental oxygen should be used when the patient exercises
b. arterial blood gas determinations should be done to verify the SaO2
c. this finding is a normal response to activity and the patient should continue to be monitored
d. the oximetry probe should be moved form the finger to the earlobe for an accurate SaO2 during
activity - ANS ✔✔a
,A 77-year-old patient with pneumonia has a fever of 101.2°F (38.5° C), a nonproductive cough, and an
oxygen saturation of 89%. The patient is very weak and needs assistance to get out of bed. The highest
priority nursing diagnosis for the patient is
a. hyperthermia related to infectious illness
b. ineffective airway clearance related to thick secretions
c. impaired transfer ability related to weakness
d. impaired gas exchange related to respiratory congestion - ANS ✔✔d
One of the first signs of respiratory distress is:
a. hypotension
b. increase temperature
c. decrease in respirations
d. agitation and anxiety - ANS ✔✔d
A patient is admitted to the hospital with community acquired pneumonia. The patient appears restless
in bed. What is a priority assessment to determine the cause?
a. Offer the patient some water
b. Check the patient's blood pressure
c. Check the patient's pulse oximeter
d. Call the provider - ANS ✔✔c
A patient in the ED complains of shortness of breath, fever, chills, and productive cough with rusty
colored sputum. His blood pressure is 80/42, and he is tachycardic. His oxygen saturation on room air is
82%. Upon lung auscultation you hear crackles in the right lung and expiratory wheezing. You would
anticipate which of the following treatments for probable pneumonia? select all.
a. supplemental oxygen
b. antibiotics started 8 hours after arrival
c. 500 mL bolus of 0.9 NaCl
d. inhaled bronchodilators - ANS ✔✔a, c, d
antibiotics should be started within 4 hours after arrival
, risk factors for UTIs include? - ANS ✔✔pregnancy
menopause
habitual delay of urination
instrumentation
sexual intercourse
___ are the most common health care associated infection (HAI) - ANS ✔✔catheter associated urinary
tract infections
___ is the most common pathogen causing a CAUTI. - ANS ✔✔E. coli
UTI symptoms include? - ANS ✔✔dysuria
frequent urination (less than every 2 hours)
urgency
suprapubic discomfort or pressure
cystitis - ANS ✔✔is an inflammation of the bladder
urethritis - ANS ✔✔is an inflammation of the urethra
urosepsis - ANS ✔✔is a UTI that has spread systematically
life threatening condition requiring emergency treatment
how are UTIs diagnosed? - ANS ✔✔by urinalysis
UTIs are diagnosed by urinalysis to identify by the following? - ANS ✔✔presence of nitrates
presence of WBCs
presence of leukocyte esterase
what is the best technique for a urinalysis to diagnose a UTI - ANS ✔✔a voided midstream technique
yielding a clean catch urine sample
interventions or treatment for UTIs - ANS ✔✔trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
nitrofurantoin
