Answers | Latest Update
A patient in hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is being admitted with dehydration

and a serum glucose level of 836 mg/dL. Which of the following additional laboratory

findings should the nurse anticipate?




a. decreased BUN, decreased creatinine, and elevated serum osmolality


b. elevated BUN, decreased creatinine, and decreased serum osmolality


c. decreased BUN, elevated creatinine, and decreased serum osmolality


d. elevated BUN, elevated creatinine, and elevated serum osmolality


-:- d. elevated BUN, elevated creatinine, and elevated serum osmolality




Rationale: Typical presentation of HHS includes elevations in BUN and creatinine levels

resulting from hypovolemia. Serum osmolality >320 mOsm/kg distinguishes HHS from DKA.

hypotension, tachycardia, and a pansystolic murmur that is loudest at the lower left sternal

border. This patient has MOST LIKELY developed

a. idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy


b. inferior wall myocardial infarction


c. cardiac tamponade


d. a ruptured interventricular septum


-:- d. a ruptured interventricular septum




Rationale: Q waves in V1 and V2 indicate septal wall MI, which puts the patient at risk for

septal wall rupture. Pansystolic murmur at the left sternal border is consistent with a

ruptured interventricular septum




A patient with a history of chronic pain, asthma, diabetes and heavy alcohol intake is now

experiencing cognitive impairment from medications. Assessment: awake but confused, BP

involving the inferior wall?

b. ST segment elevation in leads II, III and all the precordial leads


c. ST segment elevation and deeply inverted T waves in leads II, III and aVF


d. ST segment depression and T wave elevation in leads II, III and aVL


-:- c. ST segment elevation and deeply inverted T waves in leads II, III and aVF




Rationale: An anterior wall MI is associated with changes in leads II, III and aVF


a. anterolateral MI


b. lateral MI


d. ACS not associated with these changes

The major effect of acute lung injury (ALI) on the lung tissue is




a. decreased capillary permeability


b. increased functional residual capacity (FRC)


c. decreased compliance


d. decreased alveolar surface tension


-:- c. decreased compliance




Rationale: It is related to alteration of lung endothelium and vascular tissue. Pathophysiologic

changes in lung vascular tissue and increased lung edema contribute to the decrease in

compliance. The end result is stiffness of the fluid-filled non-aerated airways.




A patient with mitral regurgitation suddenly develops atrial fibrillation with rate of 156. BP is

118/74. The nurse should anticipate medication orders for




a. beta-blockers and vasopressors


b. warfarin (Coumadin) and alpha-agonists
