Multiple choice.
Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement o r answers the ques
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
Feedback:
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

Critical care units are cost 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.
