NUR 2392 Multidimensional Care II
Test 2 – Rasmussen University
2026/2027
Question:
If I have high sodium what type of fluids will you give me?
Answer:
Intravenous (IV) fluids, or diuretics to lower your blood sodium levels.
Patients should be given intravenous 5% dextrose for acute hypernatremia
or half-normal saline (0.45% sodium chloride) for chronic hypernatremia if
unable to tolerate oral water.
Question:
Interventions for a patient with fluid overload.
Answer:
Nursing Interventions for Fluid Volume Excess. Instruct patient, caregiver,
and family members regarding fluid restrictions, as appropriate.
Information and knowledge about condition are vital to patients who will
be co-managing fluids. Limit sodium intake as prescribed.
,Question:
Interventions for hypercalcemia.
Answer:
Nursing interventions include encouraging fluid intake and ambulation.
Fluids containing sodium should be used unless contraindicated as sodium
increases calcium excretion. Cardiac rhythm should be monitored. Calcium
levels should be monitored as ordered, as well as sodium and potassium
levels due to use of diuretics.
Question:
Education on fluid overload patients.
Answer:
(Same scale, daily weight, same time, same clothing, talk about salt,
sodium, and have the patient tell you what a good option or menu would
benefit them. Avoid sodium.)
Question:
Causes of respiratory acidosis.
Answer:
COPD, ASTHMA
,Question:
isotonic solutions
Answer:
increase intravascular volume and are used to treat fluid volume deficits.
Question:
hypotonic solutions
Answer:
increase intracellular volume and are used to treat intracellular dehydration
from conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar
hyperglycemia states.
Question:
hypertonic solutions
Answer:
- increases extracellular volume and used as a volume expander.
, Question:
colloids
Answer:
contain large particles that do not pass through the semi-permeable
membrane. Colloids are prescribed to in increase intravascular volume and
are used to treat malnourished patients and those not able to tolerate large
fluid boluses.
Question:
crystalloids
Answer:
contain small particles that easily pass through a semi-permeable
membrane. Crystalloids are classified as isotonic, hypotonic, and
hypertonic. Choice for treatment is based on patient condition and deficits.
Question:
ph affects?
Answer:
affects critical body function such as cardiac contractility and tissue
oxygenation.
Normal range 7.35-7.45
