The nurse should assess a client diagnosed with multiple myeloma for which of the following electrolyte imbalances?
 
  1. Hypercalcemia
  2. Hyperkalemia
  3. Hypermagnesemia
  4. Hypernatremia

Question 2

A client's pulmonary artery wedge pressure is 1 mmHg. Which of the following health problems can cause this low pressure? (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. Altered left ventricular function
  2. Dehydration
  3. Elevations in blood volume
  4. Hemorrhage
  5. Hypovolemia
  6. Peripheral edema

Question 3

A client is at risk for coronary artery disease. Which of the following should the nurse instruct as modifiable risk factors for this health condition? (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. Alcohol consumption
  2. Diabetes mellitus
  3. Family history
  4. Gender
  5. Low daily fruit intake
  6. Psychosocial index

Question 4

A client diagnosed with chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation is prescribed heparin. The nurse realizes that this medication is used to:
 
  1. increase blood flow to the circulation.
  2. increase blood clot formation.
  3. decrease blood flow in the circulation.
  4. decrease blood clot formation.

Question 5

The nurse is trying to determine the cause of a dampened waveform. Which of the following could cause a dampened waveform. (Select all that apply.)
 
  1. Air bubbles
  2. Blood clots
  3. Kinks
  4. Loose connections
  5. Use of shorter tubing
  6. Low blood pressure

The answer to question 1

1
Destruction of the bone leads to elevated calcium levels. The other electrolyte imbalances are not characteristic of multiple myeloma.

The answer to question 2

2, 4, 5
The pulmonary artery wedge pressure will be abnormally low in patients who are hypovolemic, dehydrated, or hemorrhaging. Elevated levels occur in patients who have altered left ventricular function or elevations in blood volume. Peripheral edema does not impact the client's pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

The answer to question 3

1, 2, 5, 6
Nonmodifiable risk factors are age, gender, and family history. Modifiable risk factors include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, tobacco abuse, diabetes mellitus, abdominal obesity, lack of physical activity, low daily fruit and vegetable intake, alcohol consumption, and psychosocial index.

The answer to question 4

4
Heparin is given for its interference with the clotting processes and the chance of preventing further overuse of clotting factors. Heparin is usually only used when other methods of management are failing. Heparin does not increase or decrease blood flow in the circulation. Heparin does not increase blood clot formation.

The answer to question 5

1, 2, 3, 4
Air bubbles, blood clots, kinks, and loose connections are all reasons for a dampened waveform. When a system is underdamped, one of the ways to correct the system is to obtain shorter tubing. Low blood pressure will not cause the waveform to be dampened.
