2. With acute bronchospasm and whose VS are: BP 100/60, P 124, R 32.
3. Who was involved in a motor vehicle accident whose VS are: BP 124/74, P 74, R 18.
4. On chronic dialysis with no urine output and whose VS are: BP 98/50, P 108, R 12.
Answer: 2

,2) Of the following patients, who should be cared for in a critical care unit? A patient: (Select all that apply.)
1. With an acetaminophen overdose
2. Suffering from acute mental illness
3. With chronic renal failure
4. With acute decompensated heart failure
Answer: 1, 4
Explanation: 1. (Note: This requires multiple responses to be correct.)
Critical care units are cost-efficient units for caring for patients with specific organ system
failure. Although the organ failing in #4 is obvious, patients with acetaminophen overdose
often suffer liver failure as a consequence. #2 and #3 present patient concerns of a noncritical
nature.
