neutrophils

The nurse reviews laboratory results from a client experiencing an allergic reaction to a medication. Which immunoglobulin level will the nurse expect to be elevated in this client?

IgE

What occurs when the body responds to specific self-antigens by producing antibodies or cell-mediated immune responses against its own cells?

Autoimmune disease

Basophils are myelocytic leukocytes that are responsible for phagocytosis. (T or F)

False

What produces the two types of leukocytes known as lymphocytes and myelocytes?

A client presents to the emergency department via ambulance with a heart rate of 130 beats/minute and a sawtooth waveform pattern per cardiac monitor. The nurse is most correct to alert the medical team of the presence of a client with which disorder?

Atrial flutter

A nurse is educating a group of nursing students about the heart's chambers and the muscular septum wall. What information by a nursing student demonstrates a correct understanding about the four chambers into which the heart is divided? (Select all that apply.)

1.  Ventricles are high-pressure chambers because they pump blood out of the heart.

2. The thin-walled, low-pressure chambers are the receiving centers for blood.

3. The left ventricle is the thickest chamber and it pumps blood to the rest of the body.

The nurse is assessing the client for left-sided heart failure. Which symptom would the nurse identify as left-ventricular heart failure? (Select all that apply.)

• Dyspnea

• Cough

• Tachycardia

The critical care nurse is caring for a client with bradycardia after cardiovascular surgery. The nurse knows that the heart rate is determined by myocardial cells with the fastest depolarizing rate. Under normal circumstances, where are these cells located?

SA Node

Which symptoms would likely be present in a client with right-ventricular heart failure? (Select all that apply)

• Peripheral edema

• Nocturia

• Neck vein distention

A student asks the instructor what the goal of drug therapy is in cardiogenic shock. What is the most appropriate response from the instructor?

Restore and maintain adequate tissue perfusion

A backflow of blood is noted in the left ventricle from the left atrium. The client is suffering from a defect in which valve?

Mitral valve

A nurse is caring for a client with hypertension. If blood pressure is not adequately controlled, what organs can be damaged? (Select all that apply.)

• Brain

• Kidneys

• Heart

• Eyes

What allows the alveoli sac to stay open and allows for exchange of gases?

Surfactant

The nurse is caring for a client with chronic respiratory failure. What are the signs and symptoms of chronic respiratory failure?

Progressive loss of lung function associated with chronic disease

A group of students are reviewing the mechanics of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the alveoli. The students demonstrate understanding when they identify which mechanism as being responsible?

Diffusion

A nurse is caring for a 73-year-old female client who just arrived to the medical surgical floor following a radical mastectomy for breast cancer. The nurse will encourage the client to cough and deep breathe to help prevent:

Atelectasis

A nurse is assessing a client who comes to the clinic for care. Which findings in this client suggest bacterial pneumonia?

Dyspnea and wheezing

The volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath is termed:

tidal volume

The nurse assessed a 28-year-old client who was experiencing dyspnea severe enough to make them seek medical attention. The history revealed no prior cardiac problems and the presence of symptoms for 6 months' duration. On assessment, the nurse noted the presence of both inspiratory and expiratory wheezing. Based on this data, which of the following diagnoses is likely?

Asthma

A junior-level nursing class has just finished learning about the management of clients with chronic pulmonary diseases. Which of the following disorders is classified as COPD?

Emphysema

The nurse is assessing a client who, after an extensive surgical procedure, is at risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The nurse assesses for which most common early sign of ARDS?

Rapid onset of severe dyspnea

What is the difference between respiration and ventilation?
