UPDATE 2022
Question 1

A differential blood count has been ordered on a patient being
admitted for surgery. How would the nurse explain the purpose of
this test?

1. “This test will measure your clotting ability before you are taken to
surgery.”

2. “This test measures the total number of white blood cells.”

3. “This test assesses whether you have responded to the blood
transfusion you received last week.”

4. “This test measures percentages of the different white blood cells
to help us determine if you have an infection.”

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: The number of thrombocytes in whole blood is
measured by a platelet count, not a differential.

Rationale 2: A white blood cell count is ordered to assess total
number of white blood cells.

Rationale 3: The test to measure response to blood transfusion is a
hemoglobin and hematocrit.

Rationale 4: The differential count measures the percentages of
different types of white blood cells in the blood sample—
neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
These percentages help the health care providers determine if
infection is present.




Question 2

A patient experiencing multisystem fluid volume deficit has
tachycardia and decreased urine output. The nurse realizes these
findings are most likely a direct result of which factor?

1. The body’s natural compensatory mechanisms

2. Pharmacologic effects of a diuretic

3. Effects of rapidly infused intravenous fluids

4. Cardiac failure Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The body’s vasoconstrictive compensatory reactions are

responsible for the symptoms. The body naturally attempts to
conserve fluid internally specifically for the brain and heart.

Rationale 2: A diuretic would cause further fluid loss and is
contraindicated.

Rationale 3: Rapidly infused intravenous fluids would not cause a
decrease in urine output.

Rationale 4: The manifestations reported are not indicative of
cardiac failure in this patient.




Question 3

A pregnant patient is admitted with excessive thirst, increased
urination, and a medical diagnosis of diabetes insipidus. The nurse
chooses which nursing diagnosis as most appropriate?

1. Risk for Imbalanced Fluid Volume

2. Excess Fluid Volume

3. Imbalanced Nutrition

4. Ineffective Tissue Perfusion Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The patient with excessive thirst, increased urination,
and a medical diagnosis of diabetes insipidus is at risk for
Imbalanced Fluid Volume due to excess volume loss that can
increase the serum levels of sodium.

Rationale 2: Excess Fluid Volume is not an issue for patients with
