*Isotonic solutions (crystalloids) are used to restore fluid volume in patients with shock.
Lactated Ringers is isotonic. Normal saline is also isotonic.
The client on a ventilator is assessed for untoward responses to the therapy. Which of the
following would indicate a possible complication of ventilator therapy?
a) Blood pressure has increased 5mmHg in the last 24 hours
b) Lung sounds absent on one side.
c) Forceful cough periodically
d) Broncho-vesicular breath sounds throughout peripheral lung fields.
b) Lung sounds absent on one side.
*This may indicate a pneumothorax--a complication caused by barotrauma.
The pressure reading during inspiration on the ventilator of a client receiving mechanical
ventilation is high and alarming intermittently. What is the nurse's first action?
a) Assess the client's oxygenation.
b) Call the RT to check the ventilator settings.
c) Listen for bilateral lung sounds.
d) Determine whether an air leak is present in the client's endotracheal tube cuff.
a) Assess the client's oxygenation.
Which assessment finding best indicates that fluid resuscitation therapy for the patient with
hypertonic dehydration has acheived the desired effect?
a) Peripheral pulses changed from 1+ to 3+
b) Neck veins slightly distended @ 30 degrees
c) Serum sodium level has changed from 151 to 143.

A patient is receiving dobutamine [Dobutrex] as a continuous infusion in the immediate
postoperative period. The patient also is receiving a diuretic. What adverse drug reactions are
possible in this patient? (select all that apply)
a)Angina
b)Hypotension
c)Dysrhythmias
d)Oliguria
e)Tachycardia
a)Angina
c)Dysrhythmias
e)Tachycardia
*Is a beta1 aderenergic agonist; general anesthetics can increase the likelihood of
dysrhythmias. Dobutamine elevates BP by increasing CO. Diuretics complement the beneficial
effects of dobutamine on the kidney, so urine output would be increased, not decreased.
