Questions with Complete Solutions
Serum albumin level normal vals: 3.5-5.5
Mild depletion = 2.8-3.5
Mod depletion = 2.1-2.7
Sev depletion= <2.1
(increased w/ dehydration)
(decreased with overhydration, malnutrition, and liver dx)
Total protein level normal vals: 6-8
(decreased in pregnancy, burns and such disorders such as chronic alcoholism, cirrhosis, crohn's
dx and ulcerative colitis / myeloma.

Questions with Complete Solutions
Pre-albumin normal vals: 15-30
Mild depletion = 10-15
Mod depletion = 5-10
Sev depltion = <5
**decreased w/ undernutrition and malnutrition
Transferrin normal vals: 200-400
Mild depletion = 150-299
Mod depletion = 100-149

Questions with Complete Solutions
Sev depletion = <100
Blood pressure taking techniques: -Record readings to the nearest 2 mmHg -duhhh
-client may sit down or lie down.
-the 'ideal' cuff should have a bladder length that is 80% and a width that is at least 40% of the
arm circumference.
Pain scale for infants = -FLACC (face, legs, activity, cry, consolability) - infants
Adventitious sounds = additional sounds heard over normal breath sounds (wheezing /
crackles) have the client cough to clear the airway and listen again.
Pleural friction rubs = low-pitched, dry, grating sounds

Questions with Complete Solutions
Cardiac landmarks for auscultation!!!! Aortic = 2nd ICS; RSB
Pulmonic = 2nd / 3rd ICS LSB
Erbs point 3rd ICS LSB
Mitral (apical) = 5th ICS, MCL (may be harder to feel in younger patients......
JVD: Should not be visible with a client sitting at a 45 degree angle or more. If seen it
could be caused by RV failure; pulm HTN; pulm emboli; fluid overload. Heart failure pts have
orthopnea.
Arterial insufficiency: dry, shiny, cold, pale, hairless, poor cap refill, decreased / absent
pulses, pale with elev of ext.
-ulcers = circular painful deep
-Risk factors- smoking, diabetes, obesity, high BP
