BSN 266 Sherpath Quizzes (Review HESI) Questions WithComplete Solutions
Alterations of Electrolyte Balance:
Question 1 of 20
Which serum sodium concentration should the nurse identify as
hyponatremia?
130 mEq/L
135 mEq/L
140 mEq/L
145 mEq/L Correct Answer 130 mEq/L
Hyponatremia is a serum sodium concentration that is less than
135 mEq/L.
Assessment Related to Acid-Base Balance:
Question 1 of 8
The nurse is assessing a patient who is diagnosed with
respiratory acidosis. Which cardiovascular finding does the
nurse anticipate when assessing the cardiovascular system?
Select all that apply.
Tachycardia
Dysrhythmia
Hypotension
Dyspnea
Confusion Correct Answer Tachycardia
Tachycardia is an expected cardiovascular assessment finding
for the patient who is experiencing respiratory acidosis.
Correct
Dysrhythmia
Dysrhythmia is an expected cardiovascular assessment finding
for the patient who is experiencing respiratory acidosis.
,Assessment Related To Fluid Balance:
Question 1 of 12
A nurse is asked to assess a patient for fluid volume deficit. The
patient reports that he has lost 10 kg of total body weight in the
last 48 hours due to vomiting and diarrhea. Based on the
relationship between volume and weight, about how much fluid
has this patient lost?
1 liter of fluid
5 liters of fluid
10 liters of fluid
15 liters of fluid Correct Answer 10 liters of fluid
The principles states that 1 liter of fluid weighs 1 kg; therefore,
if the patient has lost 10 kg of total body weight, around 10 liters
of fluid have been lost.
Autoimmune Disorders
Question 1 of 11
Which theories characterize the mechanisms involved in
autoimmunity?
Select all that apply.
Leakage of protected self-antigens
Epitope immune system evasion
Loss of T suppressor function
Overactive B cell responsiveness
Failure of T cell programming Correct Answer Leakage of
protected self-antigens
Epitope immune system evasion
Loss of T suppressor function
Failure of T cell programming
,Causes of Acid-Base Imbalance:
Question 1 of 8
The nurse is providing care to a patient, following a motor
vehicle accident. The steering wheel hit the patient's chest and
trapped the patient in the car until the rescue workers arrived.
The patient is now complaining of dyspnea. For which acid-base
imbalance does the nurse identify the patient to be at risk?
Respiratory acidosis
Chronic acidosis
Respiratory alkalosis
Compensatory alkalosis Correct Answer Respiratory acidosis
Trauma to the chest decreases ventilation and impairs gas
exchange, placing the patient at risk for respiratory acidosis.
Causes of Fluid Imbalance:
Question 1 of 6
Which statements by the nursing student regarding an isotonic
fluid deficit demonstrate correct understanding of the condition?
Select all that apply.
Water and sodium are lost together equally.
Serum osmolality does not change.
Water loss is greater than sodium loss.
Blood becomes more concentrated.
It is also called dehydration. Correct Answer Water and sodium
are lost together equally.
In an isotonic fluid deficit, sodium and water are lost at the same
rate.
Correct
Serum osmolality does not change.
Due to the rate at which sodium and water are lost, the serum
osmolality does not change in an isotonic fluid deficit.
, Chapter 13-Hypersensitivity Disorders:
Question 1 of 11
Match the clinical manifestations with the correct
hypersensitivity disorder.
Type I: Anaphylaxis
Wheezing, dysrhythmias, cyanosis
Type II: Acute hemolytic reaction
Fever, hypotension, chills
Type III: Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Hypertension, proteinuria, edema
Type IV: Contact dermatitis
Vesiculated blisters, itching, burning Correct Answer
Collaborative Care and Nursing Management of Burn Injuries:
Question 1 of 6
A nurse is caring for a newly admitted patient in the emergent
phase after a severe electrical burn. Which provider orders
should the nurse question?
Obtain an ECG in 8 hours
Administer PO pain medication
Insert large-bore IV to provide fluids
Contact anesthesiologist to begin intubation Correct Answer
Obtain an ECG in 8 hours
The patient should have an ECG performed now, not delayed for
8 hours. The patient with an electrical burn injury is at risk for
cardiac dysrhythmias. The nurse should question this provider
order.
Administer PO pain medication
Patients in the emergent phase of burn management should be
treated for pain, but PO is not an appropriate management
