Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Crepitus is not typically associated with right ventricular heart failure; it may indicate subcutaneous emphysema or air leakage into the tissues.

B. Right ventricular heart failure often leads to elevated pulmonary artery pressure due to increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation.

C. Hepatosplenomegaly may occur in congestive heart failure but is not specific to right ventricular heart failure.

D. Confusion may occur in severe cases of heart failure due to decreased cerebral perfusion, but it is not specific to right ventricular heart failure.

A. Use the injection port farthest from the IV catheter insertion site. B. Occlude the IV tubing above the injection port. C. Check for blood return after medication administration. D. Flush the IV tubing with a heparinized solution.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Using the injection port farthest from the IV catheter insertion site is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be practical depending on the setup of the IV tubing.

B. Occluding the IV tubing above the injection port prevents the bolus medication from flowing into the continuous IV infusion, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the patient.

C. Checking for blood return after medication administration is not relevant in this context, as albumin 5% is administered intravenously and does not require blood return.

D. Flushing the IV tubing with a heparinized solution is not necessary for administering an IV bolus of medication and may not be appropriate for all medications.
