PATHOPHYSIOLOGY D236 Readiness Check 2A (WGU)

5 PM Pathophysiology Readiness Check 2A Points: 46/50 Time: 08:06 Pathophysiology Readiness Check 2A The 2nd OA Readiness Check is designed to give you additional practice with new assessmentstyle questions to help prepare for success on the OA. Thus, please try to mimic exam-like conditions by taking the test in one <2 hr sitting without any study aids apart from your whiteboard/scrap paper. Note: Responses cannot be edited. You will be able to see the results and feedback after submitting the test.  Correct 1/1 Points Feedback: This is correct. In an acidotic state, there is an abundance of H+ ions, which enter cells and force K+ out of the cells. The K+ ions are now in the bloodstream and present as hyperkalemia even though the body amount of K+has not changed. The nurse is providing care to a patient with metabolic acidosis. For which reason does the nurse note a laboratory result indicating hyperkalemia? * 1. The kidneys are inundated with H+ ions. K+ ions force the H+ ions into cells. H+ ions are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. The abundance of H+ ions moves into cells.  10/9/22, 2:15 PM Pathophysiology Readiness Check 2A Correct 1/1 Points Feedback: This is correct. A potassium ion increase in the blood leads to hyperkalemia. Which condition is caused by an increase in the amount of potassium in the blood? * 2. Hypercalcemia Hypocapnia Hypotension Hyperkalemia  Correct 1/1 Points Feedback: This is correct. The client has developed metabolic alkalosis. In metabolic alkalosis, the pH will be greater than 7.45 and the bicarbonate concentration will be greater than 35 mEq/L. An unconscious client is brought to the hospital. The client’s arterial blood gases show a pH greater than 7.45 and a bicarbonate level of 36 mEq/L. Which acid– base imbalance has the client developed? * 3. Metabolic alkalosis  Respiratory alkalosis Respiratory acidosis Metabolic acidosis Correct 1/1 Points A client has hypertension and elevated serum calcium concentration. Which condition is likely to occur in the client? * 4. Osteomalacia Platelet dysfunction 10/9/22, 2:15 PM Pathophysiology Readiness Check 2A Feedback: This is correct. The client is at risk for developing osteopenia. Osteopenia indicates low bone density and shows the presence of an elevated serum calcium concentration. Ventricular fibrillation Osteopenia  Correct 1/1 Points Feedback: This is correct. While administering IV potassium, the solution should always be diluted.
