BKAT STUDY EXAM (ACTUAL EXAM)WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
Initial treatment for burn patients - ANSWERS-Follow ABCs -
secure an airway, intubate early if there are signs of
obstruction, watch for smoke inhalation, then LOTS of fluids
Nursing concerns with rewarming - ANSWERS-Watch for
hyperkalemia (causing arrhythmias), hypoglycemia, and
hypotension (secondary to vasodilation). Go slow! Do not
allow shivering. Monitor electrolytes & glucose frequently.
Normal cardiac index (CI) - ANSWERS-2.5-4.0
Normal stroke volume (SV) - ANSWERS-60-100
,Normal stroke volume index (SVI) - ANSWERS-33-47
Normal systemic vascular resistance - ANSWERS-800-1200
Stress Induced Hyperglycemia in Critically Ill Patients -
ANSWERS-• >200
•Endogenous process resulting from inflammatory response
•Exogenous sources: corticosteroids, immunosupps,
sympathomimetics, D5 infusions, parenteral and enteral
nutrition.
•Volume depletion
Critical Illness and Insulin Resistance - ANSWERS-•Insulin
resistance sustained by inflammatory mediators
•Endocrine exhaustion leads to relative deficiency of insulin
production
