A nurse is caring for a patient who has atopic dermatitis and a prescription for
triamcinoloneointment. The nurse should assess the patient to monitor for which of the
following adverse effects? CORRECT ANSWER>>
Increased pigmentation
Topical glucocorticoid therapy can cause the adverse effect of hypopigmentation.
Localized hair loss
Long-term glucocorticoid therapy can cause hypertrichosis, or excessive hair
growth,iespecially on the facial area.
Thinning of the skin
MY A NSWER
Thinning of the skin and delayed healing are adverse effects of topical glucocorticoid
preparations. The patient should only apply the ointment to dry patches of the skin
becausetopical steroids can cause atrophy of the dermis and epidermis, which can
result in thinning of the skin.
Increased sensitivity to the sun
The nurse should instruct the patient to avoid excessive sun exposure when taking
topicalfluticasone; however, triamcinolone ointment does not cause photosensitivity.

A nurse is assessing a patient who has left-sided heart failure. Which of the following
findingsiishould the nurse identify as a manifestation of left-sided heart failure? CORRECT
ANSWER>>
Dependent edema
The nurse should identify that dependent edema is a manifestation of right-sided heart
failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention from pressure building up in
thevenous system.
Jugular distention
The nurse should identify that jugular vein distention is a manifestation of right-sided
heartfailure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention from pressure building up
in the venous system.
Weight gain
The nurse should identify that weight gain is a manifestation of right-sided heart
failure due to right ventricular failure and fluid retention from pressure building up in
the venoussystem.
Frothy sputum
MY A NSWER
The nurse should identify that frothy sputum, dyspnea, and wheezing are
manifestations ofleft-sided heart failure. Treatment includes fluid restriction and
diuretics to decrease preload and reduce pulmonary congestion. Pink-tinged frothy
sputum can be an early indication of pulmonary edema and can be life-threatening.
Therefore, the nurse should notify the provider immediately.

A nurse is caring for a patient who is experiencing anxiety as well as numbness and tingling of
thelips and fingers. The patient's ABGs are: pH 7.48, PCO2 30 mm Hg, HCO3- 24 mEq/L, PaO2
85 mm Hg. Which of the following acid-base imbalances should the nurse identify that the
patient is experiencing? CORRECT ANSWER>>
Respiratory alkalosis
MY A NSWER
This pH is alkaline (increased) and the PCO 2 is decreased, representing alveolar
hyperventilation and resultant respiratory alkalosis.
Respiratory acidosis
This pH is alkaline (increased) and the PCO is decreased. A decreased pH and an 2
increased PCO indicate respiratory acidosis. 2
Metabolic alkalosis
This HCO 24 mEq/L is within the expected range of 21 to 28 mEq/L and the pH is alkaline
3-
(increased). An increased pH and HCO indicate metabolic alkalosis. 3-
Metabolic acidosis
This HCO 24 mEq/L is within the expected range of 21 to 28 mEq/L and the pH is alkaline
