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.
