A. liver abscess B. intestinal obstruction C. perforation of the duodenum D. hemorrhage from esophageal varices {{Ans - c. The increased pressure within the portal circulatory system causes increased pressure in areas of portal systemic collateral circulation (most importantly, in the distal esophagus and proximal stomach). Hemorrhage is a possible complication. Liver abscesses may occur as a complication of intestinal infections, not portal hypertension. Intestinal obstruction may be caused by manipulation of the bowel during surgery, peritonitis, neurological disorders, or organic obstruction, not portal hypertension. Perforation of the duodenum usually is caused by peptic ulcers; it is not a direct result of portal hypertension or cirrhosis. A client with schizophrenia takes ziprasidone. Which conditions in the client may indicate a need to discontinue the medication? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. A. leukopenia B. tachycardia C. hypokalemia D. hypomagnesemia E. prolonged QT interval {{Ans - a, c, e Ziprasidone is a second -generation antipsychotic medication indicated for schizophrenia. The medication may cause leukopenia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia. This medication may cause a prolonged QT interval, which indicates torsades de pointes. Bradycardia may occur in torsades de pointes but not tachycardia. A client is prone to hyponatremia. Which factors would the nurse identifythat can precipitate hyponatremia? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. A. wound drainage B. diuretic therapy C. GI suction D. parenteral infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride E. inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) secretions {{Ans - a, b, c, e Wound drainage can result in hyponatremia from loss of sodium ions. Most diuretics interfere with sodium reabsorption in the nephrons and have the side effect of hyponatremia. Gastrointestinal fluids are rich in sodium ions, which are lost by GI suction. With the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), high levels of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are produced, causing the body to retain water instead of excreting it normally in the urine. Parenteral infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride, an isotonic solution, should be compatible with body fluids; if given in excess, it may lead to hypernatremia. Which statements made by the client identify regulatory functions of the kidney? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. A. erythropoiesis B. acid base balance C. vitamin D activation D. blood pressure control E. fluid and electrolyte balance {{Ans - b, e Maintaining the acid -base balance of the body by selectively reabsorbing and secreting certain substances from the blood is a regulatory function of the kidneys. The kidneys also perform the regulatory function of electrolyte balance by regulating the reabsorption of certain electrolytes while eliminating others depending on their levels in the serum. The kidneys perform hormonal function by secreting a hormone called erythropoietin that aids in synthesis of red blood cells (erythropoiesis). Activation of vitamin D is a hormonal function of the kidneys. The kidneys perform hormonal function by secreting the hormone renin that assists in blood pressure control. Which signs would the nurse expect to observe in a client with small cell carcinoma of the lung who develops syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH)? Select all that app ly. One, some, or all responses may be correct. 1 Oliguria 2 Seizures 3 Vomiting 4 Polydipsia 5 Polyphagia {{Ans - 1, 2, 3 Cancerous cells of small cell lung cancer can produce antidiuretic hormone, which causes fluid retention, resulting in increased blood volume and decreased urine volume. Fluid retention associated with SIADH can cause cerebral edema, resulting in confusion and seizures. Fluid retention resulting in hyponatremia causes nausea and vomiting. The client will have nausea and vomiting, resulting in a decreased oral fluid and food intake. Which urinary diagnostic test does not require any dietary or activity restrictions for the clie nt before or after the test? 1 Renal scan 2 Renal biopsy 3 Renal arteriogram 4 Concentration test {{Ans - 1 A renal scan does not require any dietary or activity restrictions. A renal biopsy requires bed rest for 24 hours after the procedure. A renal arteriogram requires the client to maintain bed rest with affected leg straight. A concentration test requires the client to fast after a given time in the evening. The nurse identifies that a client's urinary output is less than 40 mL/h over the past 3 hours. Which action would the nurse take? 1 Assess breath sounds and obtain vital signs. 2 Decrease the intravenous flow rate and increase oral fluids. 3 Insert an indwelling catheter to facilitate emptying of the bladder. 4 Check for dependent edema by assessing the lower extremities {{Ans - 1 The imbalance in intake and output, with a decreasing urinary output, may indicate kidney failure. The retention of excess body fluid can precipitate the development of heart failure. Assessing breath sounds and obtaining the vital signs are necessary when monitoring for these complications. In the presence of hypervolemia, oral and intravenous fluid intake should be decreased. There are no data to support a problem with the excretion of urine; the problem is with insufficient production. The insertion of a urinary retention catheter requires a health care provider's prescription. Checking for dependent edema by assessing the lower extremities is an appropriate assessment after respirations and vital signs are assessed. A client had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Postoperatively, the client experiences nausea and vomiting and is admitted overnight for observation and hydration. What would the nurse include in the teaching plan when preparing this client for discharge? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be correct. 1 Wash the puncture sites with strong soap and hot water daily. 2 Call the health care provider for a fever of 100°F (37.8°C) or higher more for 2 days. 3 Remove the tape strips over the puncture sites 1 week after surgery. 4 Check the puncture sites daily for redness, tenderness, swelling, heat, or drainage. 5 Ease the discomfort from the gas used to insufflate the abdomen during surgery by applying a heating pad to the left shoulder. {{Ans - 2, 4 Which complication is most likely to occur in the immediate postoperative period after a client has had a splenectomy? 1 Infection 2 Peritonitis 3 Hemorrhage 4 Intestinal obstruction {{Ans - 3 Because the spleen is highly vascular, hemorrhage may occur in the immediate postoperative period. Although risk for some types of infection is higher after splenectomy because of lower immunoglobulin levels, risk for immediate postoperative infection is not higher than usual after splenectomy. Peritonitis is possible after splenectomy, but it would not be apparent in the immediate postoperative period and is not a common
