Question 1 of 5

The patient has been admitted to the hospital with nausea and vomiting that started 5 days earlier. Blood pressure is 80/44 mm Hg and heart rate is 122 beats/min; the patient has not voided in 8 hours, and the bladder is not distended. The nurse anticipates a prescription for �stat� administration of

A. a blood transfusion. B. fluid replacement with 0.45% saline. C. infusion of an inotropic agent. D. an antiemetic.

Question 2 of 5

Continuous venovenous hemodialysis is used to

A. remove fluids and solutes through the process of convection. B. remove plasma water in cases of volume overload. C. remove plasma water and solutes by adding dialysate. D. combine ultrafiltration, convection and dialysis Continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) is similar to CVVH in that ultrafiltration removes plasma water. It differs in that dialysate solution is added around the hemofilter membranes to facilitate solute removal by the process of diffusion. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) is used to remove fluids and solutes through the process of convection. Slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF) is also known as isolated ultrafiltration and is used to remove plasma water in cases of volume overload. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) combines ultrafiltration, convection, and dialysis to maximize fluid and solute removal.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for a patient who has sustained blunt trauma to the left flank area, and is evaluating the patient�s urinalysis results. The nurse should become concerned when

A. creatinine levels in the urine are similar to blood levels of creatinine. B. sodium and chloride are found in the urine. C. urine uric acid levels have the same values as serum levels. D. red blood cells and albumin are found in the urine.

Question 4 of 5

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) differs from conventional intermittent hemodialysis in that

A. a hemofilter is used to facilitate ultrafiltration. B. it provides faster removal of solute and water. C. it does not allow diffusion to occur. D. the process removes solutes and water slowly.

Question 5 of 5

Renin plays a role in blood pressure regulation by

A. activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade. B. suppressing angiotensin production. C. decreasing sodium reabsorption. D. inhibiting aldosterone release.
