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 B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Morphine tablet is not likely to provide rapid relief within 1 hour for moderate to severe pain.

Choice B rationale:

Fentanyl transmucosa, such as a fentanyl lozenge or transmucosal patch, is a strong opioid analgesic that can provide rapid relief for breakthrough pain.

Choice C rationale:

A lidocaine patch is typically used for localized pain relief and might not provide the desired level of relief for systemic pain.

Choice D rationale:

Naloxone IV is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose. It would not be appropriate to administer naloxone in this situation.

A. "Ringing in the ears is an expected adverse effect of this medication." B. "Diarrhea is a common adverse effect of this medication? C. "Notify your provider if you develop a fever while taking this medication." D. "You might experience weight loss while taking this medication”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Ringing in the ears is not typically associated with clozapine.

Choice B rationale:

Diarrhea is not a common adverse effect of clozapine.

Choice C rationale:

Clozapine can cause agranulocytosis, a serious condition involving a decrease in white blood cells. Fever can be a sign of infection, so clients taking clozapine should notify their provider if they develop a fever.

Choice D rationale:

Weight loss is not a common adverse effect of clozapine.
