4800 mL
5600 mL

7000 mL
If 2 L of Ringer’s Lactate is to be infused over 8 hours, the flow rate in mL/hr is:
200 mL/hr
250 mL/hr
150 mL/hr
300 mL/hr
To infuse 1000 mL over 6 hours using a set that delivers 15 drops/mL, the flow rate in drops/min is:
35
42
20
25
Ringer’s Lactate should be avoided in patients with:
Diarrhea
Liver disease
Metabolic alkalosis
Lactic acidosis
The main cation in Ringer’s Lactate is:
Sodium
Potassium
Calcium
Chloride
Ringer’s Lactate is classified as a:
Hypertonic solution
Isotonic solution
Hypotonic solution
Colloid solution
The foundation of a therapeutic relationship is:
Empathy
Sympathy
Advice
Authority
When a nurse discloses personal issues to a patient, it primarily affects:
Trust
Boundaries
Comfort
Empathy
The orientation phase of a therapeutic relationship involves:
Termination
Goal setting and role clarification
Conflict resolution
Reflection
Active listening includes:
Interrupting to clarify points
Using silence and nonverbal cues
Giving quick advice
Avoiding eye contact
Transference occurs when:
A nurse transfers a patient to another ward
A patient projects feelings toward the nurse based on past relationships
A nurse changes shift
The patient misunderstands instructions
The termination phase of a therapeutic relationship focuses on:
Building rapport
Reviewing progress and planning follow-up
Data collection
Developing trust
The nurse demonstrates unconditional positive regard when she:
Agrees with the patient
Accepts the patient without judgment
Tells the patient what to do
Avoids emotional connection
Normal sinus rhythm is characterized by:
Absence of P waves
Irregular R–R intervals
P waves preceding every QRS complex
PR interval >0.20 s
Sinus tachycardia is defined as:
Heart rate < 60 bpm
Heart rate > 100 bpm
Heart rate between 60–100 bpm
Heart rate between 40–60 bpm
Atrial flutter typically shows:
Saw-tooth flutter waves
Flat baseline
Irregular fibrillatory waves
No discernible P waves
The most likely cause of sinus tachycardia in a postoperative patient is:
Beta-blocker use
Pain or hypovolemia
Hyperkalemia
Hypothermia
In sinus rhythm, the PR interval represents:
Ventricular depolarization
Atrial repolarization
Atrial flutter is distinguished from atrial fibrillation by:
Irregularly irregular rhythm
Distinct, organized atrial activity
Absence of QRS complexes
Variable ventricular rate
A nurse identifies sinus bradycardia when the rate is:
< 60 bpm
70 bpm
100 bpm
> 120 bpm
The main cause of angina pectoris is:
Coronary artery spasm
Myocardial oxygen demand exceeding supply
Aortic regurgitation
Heart block
Stable angina occurs:
Unpredictably at rest
Predictably with exertion or stress
During myocardial infarction
Without any precipitating factor
The drug used for acute relief of angina is:
Nitroglycerin
Atenolol
Furosemide
Digoxin
Nursing care during an angina attack includes:
Encourage ambulation
Provide oxygen and rest
Offer a full meal
Administer IV fluids rapidly
A nurse evaluates effectiveness of nitroglycerin therapy when:
Chest pain subsides
Blood pressure rises
Pulse increases
Patient reports dizziness
The correct sequence of blood flow is:
Right atrium → Right ventricle → Lungs → Left atrium → Left ventricle
Left atrium → Right ventricle → Lungs → Left ventricle
Blood enters the right atrium through the:
Pulmonary veins
Superior and inferior vena cava
Aorta
Pulmonary artery
The valve between the left atrium and ventricle is the:
Tricuspid
Aortic
Mitral (bicuspid)
Pulmonary
Oxygenated blood leaves the heart via:
Pulmonary vein
Pulmonary artery
Aorta
Vena cava
The right side of the heart pumps blood to:
Systemic circulation
Pulmonary circulation
Coronary arteries
Brain
The pacemaker of the heart is the:
AV node
SA node
Bundle of His
Purkinje fibers
The AV node delays conduction to allow:
Ventricular filling
Atrial contraction
Repolarization
Coronary perfusion
The bundle branches transmit impulses to:
Atria
Ventricles
SA node
AV node
Purkinje fibers are responsible for:
Initiating depolarization
Conducting impulses rapidly through ventricles
Controlling atrial contraction
Delaying AV conduction
A nurse notes prolonged PR interval. This indicates:
SA block
AV block (first degree)
Bundle branch block
Atrial fibrillation
The intrinsic rate of the SA node is approximately:
20–40 bpm
40–60 bpm
60–100 bpm
100–120 bpm
The most common cause of mitral stenosis is:
Rheumatic fever
Myocardial infarction
Atherosclerosis
Endocarditis
A key symptom of aortic regurgitation is:
Bounding pulse
Weak, thready pulse
Cyanosis
Bradycardia
The priority nursing diagnosis for a patient with valve disorder is:
Risk for infection
Decreased cardiac output
Impaired mobility
Deficient knowledge
Preoperative nursing care for valve replacement includes:
Encouraging ambulation
Teaching about anticoagulant therapy
Withholding all medications
Avoiding patient education
Postoperative monitoring after valve replacement focuses on:
Fluid overload and arrhythmias
Muscle tone
Gastrointestinal function
Skin pigmentation
During the evaluation phase of the nursing process, the nurse:
Collects data
Analyzes problems
Determines if goals were achieved
Develops a plan of care
