Which of the following hormones maintains blood calcium levels?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) - ANSWER Parathyroid hormone maintains the
level of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. LH provides synthesis of sex hormones,
growth of organs of reproduction, and also induces the process of reproduction. TSH
stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones, growth of thyroid gland, its functioning. ACTH
stimulates the growth of adrenal cortex and secretion corticosteroids.

The nurse checks a client's IV site. Which of the following clinical findings would
indicate that the IV has infiltrated, and inflammation has not occurred?
Pain
Coolness
Localized swelling
Stop in flow of solution - ANSWER coolness
, When an IV infiltrates, the IV solution entering the interstitial space is at room
temperature (about 75°F [23.9°C]), whereas body temperature is about 98.6°F (37°C);
thus the client's skin will feel cool to the touch at the site of an IV infiltration. The site of
an inflammation will feel warm to the touch because of vasodilation and hyperemia. Pain
may occur with both an inflammation and an infiltration. The pain of an inflammation is
related to the pressure of edema on the nerve endings. The pain of an infiltration is
related to the IV solution in the interstitial compartment pressing on the nerve endings.
An increase in interstitial fluid occurs with both an inflammation and an infiltration.
Inflammation involves increased vascular permeability at the site of the infection; fluid,
proteins, and leukocytes leak from the intravascular compartment into the interstitial
compartment. Infiltration involves the IV solution leaking into the interstitial
compartment rather than remaining within the intravascular compartment. A stop or
cessation in flow of solution occurs with both inflammation and infiltration. Localized
inflammation in the vein at the site of insertion may bring about a reduction in the
diameter of the lumen of the vessel, thereby interfering with the flow of solution.
Infiltration results in excessive fluid in the interstitial compartment to an extent that it
cannot accommodate more solution, hence interfering with the flow of the solution.
