A patient who just came out of general anesthesia has lab work done. The serum osmolality is
240. The nurse taking care of this patient suspects that the _____ is due to _________. Normal
Osmolality: 280 to 295
a. hyperosmolality: dehydration.
b. hypoosmolality: syndrome of inappropriate ADH (SIADH).
c. hypertonicity: SIADH.
d. high oncotic pressure: a state of hyperpolarization inside the cells.
A patient has a serum osmolality of 265. The nurse would expect all the following S&S EXCEPT:
Normal Osmolality: 280 to 295
a. signs of cerebral edema such as irritability.
b. signs of cerebral cell dehydration such as headache.
c. pitting edema.
d. crackles in the lungs upon auscultation.
A patient has a serum osmolality of 265. As an intervention to return this patient to normal
serum osmolality, the nurse is likely to hang an IV bag of _____because once the fluid is
distributed in the blood it will ______and help return fluid compartment status to homeostasis.
Normal Osmolality: 280 to 295 Normal Tonicity: 0.9%
a. 0.45 NaCl: cause water to shift from tissue (T) to blood (B).
b. 3% NaCl : cause water to shift from T to B.
c. 0.25 NaCl : shift water from B to T.
, d. NS : shift water from B to T.
A child accidentally ingests an insecticide with the ingredient cyanide. Knowing that cyanide
suppresses the actions of cytochrome oxidase in the electron transport chain, what signs might
an RN expect and why?
a. ketonuria due to increased glycogenesis.
b. hypertonicity due to acetyl Co-A suppression.
c. enhanced metabolic state due to increased production of ATP.
d. shortness of breath due to decreased ATP to use for the work of breathing.
A patient who is having hyposecretion of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) would MOST LIKELY have
the following sign: Normal Osmolality: 280 to 295
a. serum osmolality of 270.
b. oliguria (low urine output).
c. serum osmolality of 300.
d. edema.
A patient with a serum calcium of 6.0 is most likely to ______ because_______. Normal Ca+: 8.5
- 10.5
a. be lethargic: the cells are hypopolarized.
b. have muscle spasms: more Na+ has entered the cells.
c. be weak: more Na+ has left the cells.
d. have hyperirritable muscles: the cells are hyperpolarized.
