ACTUAL EXAM 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES
The student nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a patient being discharged status
post MI. What should the student include in the teaching plan? (Mark all that apply.)
A. ...
The patient with suspected MI is given aspirin, nitroglycerin, morphine, an IV beta-
blocker, and other medications, as indicated, while the diagnosis is being confirmed.
Tylenol, warfarin, and oxycodone are not typically used.
A patient is admitted to the critical care unit (CCU) with a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.
When reviewing the patient's most recent laboratory results, the nurse should prioritize
assessment of which of the following?
A. Sodium
B. AST, ALT, and bilirubin
C. BUN
D. White blood cell differential - Answer✔️✔️-A. Sodium
Sodium is the major electrolyte involved with cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy often
leads to heart failure which develops, in part, from fluid overload. Fluid overload is often
associated with elevated sodium levels. Consequently, sodium levels are followed more
closely than other important laboratory values, including BUN, leukocytes, and liver
function tests.
