NURS 6550 FINAL EXAM


QUESTION 1
1. Mr. Jeffers was admitted 2 days ago for a carotid endarterectomy. A Foley
catheter was inserted intraoperatively and remains in place. His urine output has
declined markedly despite continued IV fluid infusion. Today his morning labs
reveal a BUN of 19 mg/dL and a creatinine of 2 mg/dL. A leading differential
includes:

A. Foley lodged in the urethra causing post-renal failure

B. Decreased renal perfusion causing prerenal failure

C. Age-related decreased eGFR causing prerenal failure

D. Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis causing intrarenal failure

Answer:
 D. Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis causing intrarenal failure
During surgery, muscles and injured. This can result into rhabdomyolysis, which is
the breakdown of muscles to release proteins. The excess proteins causes an
increased level of creatinine.
Mr. Jeffers is from surgery (post-surgical) and his creatinine levels are above
normal. The normal creatinine levels range from 0.6mg/dl to 1.2mg/dl. Thus, the
most likely differential is: Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis causing intrarenal
failure.

QUESTION 4
1. A patient presents with profound vertigo of acute onset yesterday. She can
barely turn her head without becoming very vertiginous; she is nauseous and just
doesn’t want to move. This morning when she tried to get out of bed she felt like
she was pushed back down. The vertigo is reproducible with cervical rotation. The
patient denies any hearing loss or tinnitus, she has no fever or other symptoms. The
AGACNP knows that the most helpful intervention will probably be:

A. Meclizine

B. Diazepam

C. Bed rest

D. Epley’s maneuvers
1 points
Answer:

,  D. Epley's maneuvers

The patient is likely suffering from benign paroxysmoly positioning vertigo. This
is indicated by inability to turn her head and to get up from the lying position in
bed. The best intervention for benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo is Epley's
maneuvers. These maneuvers effectively clear the inner ear to relieve symptoms
of vertigo

QUESTION 6
1. A patient with SIADH would be expected to demonstrate which pattern of
laboratory abnormalities?

A. Serum Na+ 119 mEq/L, serum osmolality 240 mEq/L, urine Na+ of 28
mEq/L, urine osmolality of 900 mOsm/kg

B. Serum Na+ 152 mEq/L, serum osmolality 315 mEq/L, urine Na+ of 5
mEq/L, urine osmolality of 300 mOsm/kg

C. Serum Na+ 121 mEq/L, serum osmolality 290 mEq/L, urine Na+ of 7
mEq/L, urine osmolality of 850 mOsm/kg

D. Serum Na+ 158 mEq/L, serum osmolality 251 mEq/L, urine Na+ of 20
mEq/L, urine osmolality of 420 mOsm/kg

, Answer:

Syndrome of inappropriate anti diuretic hormone is characterized by dilutional
hyponatremia.Serum sodium levels lower than 130mmol/L and urine osmolality
less than 100mmol/L.Urine sodium is less than 30mmol/L.Serum level of sodium
is likely to be 121

QUESTION 7
1. Sean is a 29-year-old male who presents to the emergency department for
evaluation and treatment of foreign body in the eye. Ophthalmic anesthesia is
achieved and removal is attempted unsuccessfully with a moist cotton tipped swab.
A wet fluorescein stain is applied to the lower eyelid, and a corneal abrasion ruled
out but the AGACNP notes a positive Seidel sign. This indicates:

A. Penetration of the cornea with resultant aqueous leak

B. A rust ring remnant due to metal foreign body

C. An elevated intraocular pressure

D. Paradoxical pupil dilation in response to light
1 points



Answer:

 A. Penentration of the cornea with resultant aqueous leak

A positive Seidel sign indicates a leakage from the anterior chamber into the
cornea. It is used to diagnose corneal disorders such as corneal perforation and
corneal degeneration.

The AGACNP should therefore suspect Penentration of the cornea with
resultant aqueous leak as indicated by the positive Seidel sign.
