Chapter 1: What is Critical Care?
MULTIPLE CHOICE.
Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question
1) Identify who of the following patients suffers from critical illness. A patient:
A) With chronic airflow limitation whose VS are: BP 110/72, P 110, R 16.
B) With acute bronchospasm and whose VS are: BP 100/60, P 124, R 32.
C) Who was involved in a motor vehicle accident whose VS are: BP 124/74, P 74, R 18.
D) On chronic dialysis with no urine output and whose VS are: BP 98/50, P 108, R 12.
Answer: B
Explanation: A) Acute bronchospasm can present a life-threatening situation, which can jeopardize
a patient's survival. #1, #3, and #4 are examples of life-threatening situations.
Nursing Process: Assessment Cognitive Level: Analysis
Category of Need: Physiological Integrity–Physiological Adaptation

2) Of the following patients, who should be cared for in a critical care unit? A patient: (Select
all that apply.)
A) With an acetaminophen overdose
B) Suffering from acute mental illness
C) With chronic renal failure
D) With acute decompensated heart failure
Answer: A, D
Explanation: A) (Note: This requires multiple responses to be correct.)
Critical care units are co efficient units for caring for patients with specific organ
system failure. Although the organ failing in #4 is obvious, patients with acetaminophen overdose
often suffer liver failure as a consequence. #2 and #3 present patient concerns of a noncritical
nature.
Nursing Process: Evaluation Cognitive Level: Analysis
Category of Need: Physiological Integrity–Physiological Adaptation
B) (Note: This requires multiple responses to be correct.)
Critical care units are coefficient units for caring for patients with specific organ
system failure. Although the organ failing in #4 is obvious, patients with acetaminophen overdose
often suffer liver failure as a consequence. #2 and #3 present patient concerns of a noncritical
nature.
