A nurse is caring for a client who is in shock and is receiving an infusion of albumin. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

PaCO2 30 mm Hg

Oxygen saturation 96

Decrease in protein

Increase in BP

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale:

PaCO2 levels are not typically affected by albumin infusions.

Choice B rationale:

Oxygen saturation of 96 is a normal finding and is not directly related to an albumin infusion.

Choice C rationale:

Albumin infusion would not typically cause a decrease in protein levels. A decrease in protein is not expected after albumin infusion, as albumin is a protein itself.

Choice D rationale:

Albumin is a plasma expander that increases the blood volume and the blood pressure in a client who is in shock.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

An INR of 1.6 is slightly elevated but does not necessarily warrant an incident report.

Choice B rationale:

A WBC count of 6,000/mm3 is within a normal range and would not warrant an incident report.

Choice C rationale:

A hemoglobin level of 16 g/dL is within a normal range and does not warrant an incident report.

Choice D rationale:

An aPTT of 90 seconds is significantly prolonged and may indicate excessive anticoagulation from the heparin administration. This could potentially be a safety concern and would warrant an incident report for further evaluation.

A. Polypharmacy B. Multiple health problems C. Increased rate of absorption D. Decreased percentage of body fat E. Decreased renal function

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Older adults are more likely to take multiple medications (polypharmacy), which increases the risk of drug interactions and adverse reactions.

Choice B rationale:

Multiple health problems can result in complex medication regimens and an increased risk of adverse reactions.

Choice C rationale:

The rate of drug absorption tends to decrease with age, not increase.

Choice D rationale:

Decreased percentage of body fat can lead to altered drug distribution and increased risk of drug toxicity.

Choice E rationale:

Decreased renal function affects drug excretion, increasing the risk of drug accumulation and adverse effects.
