When a client is receiving vasoactive therapy IV, such as dopamine (Intropin), and extravasation occurs, the nurse should be prepared to administer which of the following medications directly into the site?

  1. Phentolamine (Regitine)
  2. Epinephrine
  3. Phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine)
  4. Sodium bicarbonate

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

(A) Phentolamine is given to counteract the-adrenergic effects that cause ischemia and necrosis of local tissue. (B) Epinephrine is an endogenous catecholamine that produces vasoconstriction and increases heart rate and contractility. (C) Phenylephrine causes constriction of arterioles of skin, mucous membranes, and viscera, which in turn can cause ischemia and necrosis. (D) Sodium bicarbonate is an alkalinizing agent that is incompatible with dopamine.



A psychotic client who believes that he is God and rules all the universe is experiencing which type of delusion?

  1. Somatic
  2. Grandiose
  3. Persecutory
  4. Nihilistic

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

(A) These delusions are related to the belief that an individual has an incurable illness. (B) These delusions are related to feelings of self-importance and uniqueness. (C) These delusions are related to feelings of being conspired against. (D) These delusions are related to denial of self-existence.

A child sustains a supracondylar fracture of the femur. When assessing for vascular injury, the nurse should be
alert for the signs of ischemia, which include:

  1. Bleeding, bruising, and hemorrhage
  2. Increase in serum levels of creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate transaminase
  3. Pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and paralysis
  4. Generalized swelling, pain, and diminished functional use with muscle rigidity and crepitus

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) Bleeding, bruising, and hemorrhage may occur due to injury but are not classic signs of ischemia. (B) An increase in serum levels of creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, and aspartate transaminase is related to the disruption of muscle integrity. (C) Classic signs of ischemia related to vascular injury secondary to long bone fractures include the five "P's": pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesia, and paralysis. (D) Generalized swelling, pain, and diminished functional use with muscle rigidity and crepitus are common clinical manifestations of a fracture but not ischemia.
