with Answers provided

B. 60-year-old Asian American shop owner
C. 40-year-old Caucasian nurse
D. 55-year-old Hispanic teacher
1. Answer: A: 45-year-old African American attorney
The incidence of hypertension is greater among African Americans than other groups in the US.
The incidence among the Hispanic population is rising.

A. Gastric lavage PRN
B. Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) for age per pharmacy
C. Start an IV Dextrose 5% with 0.33% normal saline to keep vein open
D. Activated charcoal per pharmacy
2. Answer: A: Gastric lavage PRN
Removing as much of the drug as possible is the first step in treatment for this drug overdose.

mucomyst and lastly the IV fluids.

initial 24 hours after the procedure?
A. angina at rest
B. thrombus formation
C. dizziness
D. falling blood pressure
3. Answer: B: thrombus formation
Thrombus formation in the coronary arteries is a potential problem in the initial 24 hours after a
cardiac catheterization. A falling BP occurs along with hemorrhage of the insertion site which
is associated with the first 12 hours after the procedure.
,4. A client is admitted to the emergency room with renal calculi and is complaining
of moderate to severe flank pain and nausea. The client’s temperature is 100.8
degrees Fahrenheit. The priority nursing goal for this client is:

C. Manage pain
D. Prevent urinary tract infection
4. Answer: C: Manage pain
The immediate goal of therapy is to alleviate the client’s pain.
5. What would the nurse expect to see while assessing the growth of children during
their school age years?

with their care. This client in option A is most likely stable and could continue medication
therapy at home.
