• Give supplemental K+
**Pt. exhibiting S/S of hypokalemia**
2. A patient is 24-hours post right leg injury caused by a shark attack. Vitals at 0700 were:
BP: 102/72, HR: 88, T: 98.2, RR: 12, and O2 96% on 2L Vitals at 1200 were BP: 86/58, P:
126, T: 98.0, RR: 20, O2 90% on 2L.
The patient is also restless, agitated, and has cold/pale skin. Which interventions are
appropriate for the nurse do? SATA
Give 2 Units RBC
• Culture Wound
0.9% Normal Saline Bolus
• Anxiety Medication
• Put patient in High Fowler’s
**Patient has S/S of hypovolemic shock (decreased BP and increased HR), so would
want to give them fluids.**
3. A Patient is diagnosed with a UTI, which medication will be ordered?
• Bactrim
**Antibiotic**
4. A diabetic patient comes into the office with a Hemoglobin A1C of 8. Their last A1C

6. A 1 Liter IV Bolus of NS needs to be given over 3 hours. What rate should the infusion
pump be set at (mL/hr)?
334 mL/hr
**1 L= 1000 mL, so 1000mL/3 hours =334 mL/hr**

• Call a code
• Prepare to defibrillate
• Administer anti-anginal medication
**Need to evaluate the patient first to determine which treatment would be
appropriate**
8. (An EKG strip shows multiple PVCs) Which intervention should the nurse take?
Check Potassium Levels
**PVCs could indicate the patient has low potassium levels or low O2 saturation**
9. A patient in end-stage renal disease has thirst, confusion, and dry, flushed skin. Which
intervention should the nurse do?
His labs show: Potassium 3.4, Sodium 155, and Calcium 9.5
• Give fluids
