. A finding indicating to the nurse that a 22-year-old patient with respiratory distress is in
acute respiratory failure includes a


a. shallow breathing pattern.
b. partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) of 45 mm Hg.
c. partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial gas (PaCO2) of 34 mm Hg.
d. respiratory rate of 32/min. - CORRECT ANSWER: B


Rationale: The PaO2 indicates severe hypoxemia and that the nurse should take
immediate action to correct this problem. Shallow breathing, rapid respiratory rate, and
low PaCO2 can be caused by other factors, such as anxiety or pain.


8. The wounded victim is unable to walk, respiratory rate is absent but when airway is
repositioned breathing is noted. The wounded victim is assigned what tag color?


A. Green
B. Red
C. Yellow
D. Black - CORRECT ANSWER: B: Red


A 30 year old female patient has deep partial thickness burns on the front and back of
the right and left leg, front of right arm, and anterior trunk. The patient weighs 63 kg.
Use the Parkland Burn Formula: What is the flow rate during the FIRST 8 hours (mL/hr)
based on the total you calculated?

,A. 921 mL/hr
B. 938 mL/hr
C. 158 mL/hr
D. 789 mL/hr - CORRECT ANSWER: A: 921 mL/hr


First calculate the total amount of fluid needed with the formula: Total Amount of LR = 4
mL x BSA % x pt's weight in kg. The pt's weight 63 kg. BSA percentage: 58.5%...Front
and back of right and left leg (36%), front of right arm (4.5%), anterior trunk (18%) which
equals 58.5%. ......4 x 58.5 x 63 = 14,742 mL......Remember during the FIRST 8 hours
1/2 of the solution is infused, which will be 14,742 divided by 2 = 7371 mL......Hourly
Rate: 7371 divide by 8 equals 921 mL/hr


A 40-year-old patient is diagnosed with end-stage liver disease. The patient began
drinking alcohol heavily at 17 years of age.
Which statement indicates to the nurse that the patient has alcoholic cirrhosis?


A) "I seem to be sweating profusely all the time."
B) "I've had a lot of abdominal pain and swelling."
C) "I've been experiencing crushing chest pain."
D) "I've had a low-grade fever for several weeks now." - CORRECT ANSWER: B) "I've
had a lot of abdominal pain and swelling."


Rationale: Alcoholic cirrhosis causes metabolic changes in the liver. It results in fluid
buildup and pain in the abdomen caused by the shunting of blood around the liver and
bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Pruritus, not profuse sweating, is a manifestation of
alcoholic cirrhosis and occurs because of severe jaundice and bile salt deposits on the
skin. Crushing chest pain and low-grade fever are not manifestations of alcoholic
cirrhosis.


A 58 year old female patient has superficial partial-thickness burns to the anterior head
and neck, front and back of the left arm, front of the right arm, posterior trunk, front and
back of the right leg, and back of the left leg. Using the Rule of Nines, calculate the total
body surface area percentage that is burned?

,A. 63%
B. 81%
C. 72%
D. 54% - CORRECT ANSWER: A.


Anterior head and neck (4.5%), front and back of the left arm (9%), front of the right arm
(4.5%), posterior trunk (18%), front and back of the right leg (18%), back of the left leg
(9%) which equals 63%.


A catastrophic disaster has occurred 5 miles from the hospital you are working in. The
hospital's disaster plan is activated and the wounded are brought to the hospital. You're
helping triage the survivors. One of the wounded is able to walk around and has minor
lacerations on the arms, hands, chest, and legs. You would place what color tag on this
survivor?


A. Red
B. Yellow
C. Green
D. Black - CORRECT ANSWER: C


Green tags are for patients who have MINOR injuries. If the patient can walk around
they are tagged as green. Sometimes they are referred to as the "walking wounded".


A client admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of cirrhosis has massive ascites and
difficulty breathing. The nurse performs which intervention as a priority measure to
assist the client with breathing?


A) Repositions the client from side to side every 2 hours
B) Elevates the head of the bed to 60 degrees
C) Auscultates the lung fields every 4 hours

, D) Encourages deep breathing exercises every 2 hours - CORRECT ANSWER: B)
Elevates the head of the bed to 60 degrees


Rationale: Elevating the head of the bed enlists gravity as an aid in relieving pressure
on the diaphragm. The other options are general measures in the care of a client with
ascites, but the primary measure is the one that relieves diaphragmatic pressure.


A client has an AV fistula in the right upper arm for hemodialysis treatments. When
planning care for this client, which measure should the nurse implement to promote
client safety?


A) Take blood pressures only on the right side to ensure accuracy
B) Use the fistula for all venipunctures and IV infusions
C) Ensure that small clamps are attached to the fistula dressing at all times
D) Assess the fistula for the presence of a bruit and a thrill every 4 hours - CORRECT
ANSWER: D) Assess the fistula for the presence of a bruit and a thrill every 4 hours

minute. The nurse should assess the client for which effects of this cardiac occurrence?


A) flat neck veins
B) nausea and vomiting
C) hypotension and dizziness
D) hypertension and headache - CORRECT ANSWER: C) hypotension and dizziness
