Pulse oximetry measures
What is oxygen saturation.

Daily oral care with Chlorhexidine has shown to decrease risk of VAP.
What is Daily oral care with chlorhexidine
100
One of the early signs of the effect of hypoxemia on the nervous system is:
What is restlessness
100
Acute kidney injury from post renal etiology is caused by:
What is obstruction of the flow of urine.
100
higher incidence of DVT with critical illness/ventilated pts due to decreased mobility.
What is Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
200
A normal urine output is considered to be
What is 1 to 2 L/day.
200
The nurse is caring for a patient who is mechanically ventilated. As part of the nursing care, the nurse understands that:
What is communication with intubated patients is often difficult.
200
Oxygen saturation (SaO2) represents
What is oxygen that is chemically combined with hemoglobin.
200
Which of the following treatments may be used to dissolve a thrombus that is lodged in the pulmonary artery
What is Thrombolytics
200
Padded foam with Velcro or tie straps typically applied around the wrist and tied to the bed frame. Prevents the patient from pulling at items on the upper torso or near the face
What is Soft wrist restraints
300
A normal glomerular filtration rate is
What is 80 to 125 mL/min
300
nosocomial lung infection occurring in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Leading cause of death in hospital acquired infections (IHI, 2012). Dental plaque can be a reservoir for respiratory pathogens that cause this also
What is Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
300
The patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) would exhibit which of the following symptoms?
What is Decreasing PaO2 levels despite increased FiO2 administration
300
Peritoneal dialysis is different from hemodialysis in that peritoneal dialysis
What is uses the patient’s own semipermeable membrane (peritoneal membrane).
300
diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide is impaired.
What is When fluid is present in the alveoli
400
The patient’s potassium level is 7.0 mEq/L. Besides dialysis, which of the following actually reduces plasma potassium levels and total body potassium content safely in a patient with renal dysfunction?
What is Kayexalate
400
are terms to describe damage to the lungs resulting from prolonged ventilation. Prolonged high levels of oxygen, high volumes, and pressures may lead to loss of surfactant and increased inflammation of the lung parenchyma and alveoli. The damaged alveolar membrane causes fluid to leak into the lungs causing noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
What is Ventilator Associated Lung Injury (VALI) and Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI
400
An acute exacerbation of asthma is treated with which of the following
What is Inhaled bronchodilators and intravenous corticosteroids
400
The etiology of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is related to damage to the:
What is Alveolar-capillary membrane.
400
When an intubated patient suddenly becomes noticeably worse, we need to identify and correct the problem quickly. The reason is simple. The things that cause such a sudden change in presentation are usually preventing the patient from breathing effectively causing hypoxemia and hypoventilation.
What is D= Dislodged, O=Obstructed, P=Pneumothorax, and E- Equipment The Mnemonic DOPE is to remind us of the causes that need to be eliminated, when treating the patient.
500
The patient’s serum creatinine level is 0.7 mg/dL. The expected BUN level should be
What is 7-14 mg/dL.
500
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a mode of ventilatory assistance that produces the following condition
What is pressure remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration to keep airways and alveoli open.
500
A 53-year-old, 80-kg patient is admitted to the cardiac surgical intensive care unit after cardiac surgery with the following arterial blood gas (ABG) levels. What is the nurse’s interpretation of these values? pH 7.40 PaCO2 40 mm Hg Bicarbonate 24 mEq/L PaO2 95 mm Hg O2 saturation 97% Respirations 20 breaths per minute
What is Normal ABG values
500
The nurse is caring for a postoperative patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which assessment would be a cue to the patient developing postoperative pneumonia?
What is Change in sputum characteristics
500
The patient is admitted with acute kidney injury from a postrenal cause. Acceptable treatment for that diagnosis includes:
What is Bladder catheterization
