Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1)Identify who of the following patients suffers from critical illness. A patient: A) With chronic airflow limitation whose VS are: BP 110/72, P 110, R 16. B)With acute bronchospasm and whose VS are: BP 100/60, P 124, R 32. C) Who was involved in a motor vehicle accident whose VS are: BP 124/74, P 74, R 18. D) On chronic dialysis with no urine output and whose VS are: BP 98/50, P 108, R 12. Answer: B Explanation: A) Acute bronchospasm can present a life - threatening situation, which can jeopardize a patient's survival. #1, #3, and #4 are examples of non -life- threatening situations. Nursing Process: Assessment Cognitive Level: Analysis Category of Need: Physiological Integrity–Physiological Adaptation B) Acute bronchospasm can present a life - threatening situation, which can jeopardize a patient's survival. #1, #3, and #4 are examples of non -life- threatening situations.

Nursing Process: Assessment Cognitive Level: Analysis Category of Need: Physiological Integrity–Physiological Adaptation 2)Of the following patients, who should be cared for in a critical care unit? A patient: (Select all that apply.) A) With an acetaminophen overdose B)Suffering from acute mental illness C) With chronic renal failure D) With acute decompensated heart failure Answer: A, D Explanation: A) (Note: This requires multiple responses to be correct.) Critical care units are cost - efficient units for caring for patients with specific organ system failure. Although the organ failing in #4 is obvious, patients with acetaminophen overdose often suffer liver failure as a consequence. #2 and #3 present patient concerns of a noncritical nature.

A) Level I B)Level II C) Level III D) It is unlikely that the hospital would have a critical care unit Answer: C Explanation: A) #1 and #2 describe more advanced and inclusive critical care abilities; #4 is not likely at all because most hospitals have some critical care areas.

B)Multidisciplinary team that includes a physician employed by the hospital. C) Physician in charge of patient care who is a specialist in critical care. D) Primary care physician who must consult a critical care specialist. Answer: A Explanation: A) #2, #3, and #4 refer to "closed" ICUs.
