Vasodilation of blood vessels Emigration of neutrophils Endothelial cell expansion Increased capillary permeability - correct answer Increased capillary permeability. The increased flow and capillary permeability result in a leakage of plasma from the vessels causing swelling (edema) in the surrounding tissue and is solely responsible for inflammation induced edema 2.A 56-year-old diabetic patient has not taken his insulin in 4 days due to him "feeling well without it". He is admitted to the ED with an elevated blood sugar. What electrolyte should be assessed FIRST? - correct answer Calcium Sodium Potassium Chloride ANS: Potassium. Insulin facilitates the intracellular transport of potassium, phosphate, and magnesium. Without insulin, potassium does not get transported to the intracellular environment and the serum potassium will rise. 3.A 46-year-old women is considering having another child.

The healthcare professional advises the patient to lose weight, explaining that obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus because it causes what? - correct answer Reduced insulin production by the pancreas Increased resistance to insulin in the cells People with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from insulin resistance. Obesity causes this resistance so their cells have difficulty using insulin. Obesity does not lead to reduced insulin production, obstructed insulin outflow, or stimulation of glucose production. Obstructed outflow of insulin from the pancreas Stimulation of glucose production by the liver 5.When evaluating a patient for hypertensive target organ damage, the APRN looks for evidence of: - correct answer Lipid abnormality Insulin resistance Left ventricular hypertrophy Clotting disorders 6.On ultrasound a patient had 4-chamber dilation with an ejection fraction of 15% and a pleural effusion on chest x-ray. Elevated liver function tests, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesema are seen on lab results. Blood pressure is 115/60 and heart rate is 110 bpm with regular rate and rhythm, respiratory rate 30 bpm and O2 saturation is 88% on room air. Initial therapy should include all of the following except: - correct answer Diuretic ACE Inhibitor Digoxin Beta Blocker 7.A patient in the emergency department is suspected of having a myocardial infarction (MI). The initial cardiac troponin 1 level was negative. What action by the healthcare professional is best? - correct answer Administer thrombolytic therapy. Discharge the patient. Schedule repeat troponin within a few hours. Several cardiac biomarkers exist including the most specific, cardiac troponin 1 (cTnI), cTnI begins to rise within 2 to 4 hours after cardiac injury, so if the initial result is normal, the test should be repeated within 6 to 9 hours and again at 12 to 24 hours. It is not known yet if the patient has had an MI so treatment with thrombolytic therapy and/or catheterization would be premature. The patient should not be discharged since the professional suspected an MI. Prepare the patient for cardiac catheterization. 8.Which patient would the healthcare professional assess for elevated levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion? - correct answer Being treated for small cell carcinoma of the stomach Taking high dose acetaminophen (Tylenol) for arthritis Had a hip replacement operation 14 days ago Has long-standing kidney disease from diabetes 9.A post-operative patient with gallbladder surgery has an epidural infusion of Astramorph. The patients respiratory rate starts to decline to 9 breaths/minute. Which medication should the healthcare provider anticipate administering to this patient? - correct answer Protamine sulfate Mucomyst Naloxone Naloxone is a narcotic antagonist that can reverse the effect of both adverse and therapeutic use of opioid narcotic analgesics.
