A client admitted to the hospital with chest pain and a history of type 2 diabetes
mellitus is scheduled for cardiac catheterization. Which medication would need to be
withheld for 24 hours before the procedure and for 48 hours after the procedure?
1. Glipizide
2. METFORMIN
3. Repaglinide
4. Regular insulin
A client who had cardiac surgery 24 hours ago has had a urine output averaging 20
mL/hour for 2 hours. The client received a single bolus of 500 mL of intravenous fluid.
Urine output for the subsequent hour was 25 mL. Daily laboratory results indicate that
the blood urea nitrogen level is 45 mg/dL (16 mmol/L) and the serum creatinine level is
2.2 mg/dL (194 mcmol/L). On the basis of these findings, the nurse would anticipate
that the client is at risk for which problem?
1. Hypovolemia
2. ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
3. Glomerulonephritis
4. Urinary tract infection
The nurse is reviewing an electrocardiogram rhythm strip. The P waves and QRS
complexes are regular. The PR interval is 0.16 seconds, and QRS complexes measure
0.06 seconds. The overall heart rate is 64 beats/minute. Which action should the nurse
take?
1. Check vital signs.
2. Check laboratory test results.
3. Notify the health care provider.
4. Continue to monitor for any rhythm change.

A client's electrocardiogram strip shows atrial and ventricular rates of 110 beats/minute.
The PR interval is 0.14 seconds, the QRS complex measures 0.08 seconds, and the PP
and RR intervals are regular. How should the nurse correctly interpret this rhythm?
1. SINUS TACHYCARDIA
2. Sinus bradycardia
3. Sinus dysrhythmia
