(Select all that apply.) e e e




1. BUN : serum creatinine ratio of >12.1
e e e e e e e




2. Urine positive for blood
e e e e




3. Hematocrit level of >47%
e e e e




4. Urine specific gravity of 1.027
e e e e e




5. Urine osmolality of >450 mOsm/kg - correct answer Correct answer: 3. 4. and 5.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




More than half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems,
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




powered by PrepU, answered "BUN : serum creatinine ratio of >12.1." The BUN to creatinine ratio is above
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




20:1 in hypovolemia due to dehydration or decreased renal perfusion and function.

The planning component of the teaching-learning process is organized in a sequential manner. Which of the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




following is the first step for the nurse? e e e e e e e




Select the appropriate teaching strategy.

2. Document the plan.

3. Develop the planned goals for the learning outcome. - correct answer Correct answer:

, -Nearly half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems, powered
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




by PrepU, answered "Select the appropriate teaching strategy." Before the teaching strategy can be
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




determined, the goals of learning must be developed. e e e e e e e




The nurse is interviewing a patient who says he has a dry, irritating cough that is not "bringing anything up."
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




What medication should the nurse question the patient about taking?
e e e e e e e e e




1. Aspirin
e




2. Bronchodilators
e




3. Cardiac glycosides
e e




4. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors - correct answer Correct answer:
e e e e e e e e e e e




4. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
e e e e e




-More than one-quarter of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




systems, powered by PrepU, answered "Bronchodilators." Bronchodilators are prescribed to open
e e e e e e e e e e e




constricted bronchial tubes. They do not produce cough; angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors do.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e




A patient is to receive an oxygen concentration of 70%. What is the best way for the nurse to deliver this
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




concentration?



1. A nasal cannula
e e e




2. A partial rebreathing mask
e e e e




3. A Venturi mask
e e e




4. An oropharyngeal catheter - correct answer Correct answer:
e e e e e e e e e




2. A partial rebreathing mask
e e e e




Nearly half of students who answered this question in Wolters Kluwer's adaptive learning systems, powered
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




by PrepU, answered "A Venturi mask." To provide an oxygen concentration of 70%, a partial rebreathing mask
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e




should be used. A Venturi mask provides less than 30% oxygen concentration.
