- Long bone fractures
- Air embolus
- Head injury
- Thrombophlebitis
Correct

#1 is not correct. Long bone fractures would not necessarily be a contraindication for Trendelenburg position.
#2 is not correct. A person who has an air embolus should be placed with the head lower than the chest.
#3 is correct. A person who has a head injury should not be placed in Trendelenburg position, as this would increase intracranial pressure.
#4 is not correct. A person who has thrombophlebitis should have the affected leg elevated.

Incorrect

#1 is not correct. Long bone fractures would not necessarily be a contraindication for Trendelenburg position.

Question 4 of 20

4. Question
An adult underwent emergency surgery. He lost approximately 45% of his total blood volume during surgery. What symptoms would alert the nurse that fluid replacement therapy is inadequate during the immediate postoperative period?
- Arterial pH less than 7.35; central venous pressure (CVP) between 10 and 12 cm H20.
- Arterial pH between 7.35 and 7.45; CVP between 10 and 12 cm H20.
- Arterial pH less than 7.35; CVP less than 5 cm H20.
- Arterial pH greater than 7.45; CVP greater than 12 cm H20.
Correct

#1 is not correct. The person in severe shock will be acidotic, but the central venous pressure will fall. The level in this answer is in the normal range.
#2 is not correct. The person in severe shock will be in acidosis. The pH in this answer is normal. The CVP for the person in severe shock will be low. The CVP in this answer is normal.
#3 is correct. With severe hypovolemic shock, the body ceases aerobic metabolism via the Krebs cycle and begins to metabolize anaerobically. Thus cellular acidosis occurs and the arterial pH would be less than 7.35 The cardiac output decreases due to the blood loss. Since cardiac output equals stroke volume times heart rate, the body will attempt to compensate by tachycardia. The CVP will decrease below the normal of 4-10 cm H20 due to the hypovolemia.
#4 is not correct. The person in severe shock will be in acidosis. The pH in this answer is alkaline. The CVP for the person in severe shock will be low. The CVP in this answer is high.

Incorrect

#1 is not correct. The person in severe shock will be acidotic, but the central venous pressure will fall. The level in this answer is in the normal range.
#2 is not correct. The person in severe shock will be in acidosis. The pH in this answer is normal. The CVP for the person in severe shock will be low. The CVP in this answer is normal.

Question 15 of 20

15. Question
The family of an elderly client asks why their father puts so much salt on his food. The nurse should include which information in the response?
- The taste buds become dulled as a person ages.
- The body is attempting to compensate for lost fluids during the aging process.
- Elderly clients need more sodium to ensure adequate kidney function.
- The client is confused and does not remember putting salt on the food.
Correct

#1 is correct. As people age, the taste buds diminish and become dulled. Many elderly persons put large amounts of salt on food.
#2 is not correct. If the client looses fluids, thirst is the response not a desire for more salt.
#3 is not correct. Elderly clients do not need more sodium for renal function or anything else.
#4 is not correct. Confusion could play a role, but the more likely reason is loss of taste sensation.
